Social Dynamics

I am no Sociologists, but I have learned a lot about social dynamics. People now a days join facebook, msn, twitter, and many other social networks so they dont feel lonley, they dont feel alone in this cold world. Where people are trying to get more closer to their friends using such networks, they are getting further apart from their friends. How you ask? I want you to ask your self a question, How many friends do you have on facebook or msn or any social network site. Now the next question is how many do you really talk to? It's been said that people with over 200 friends on their facebook talk to only few in reality, about 4-5 people. Is this really being socially active? The fact is that these sites makes you more anti-social then social. A lot of people spend a lot of time on facebook, talking to certain people they like talking to, who they can relate to, where as they could be spending that same time going outside meeting more people with the same interest. This is the problem with kids today, they dont want to go out, explore the world. Sitting in front of the computer screen for more then 6 hours a day, if not computer TV. This is what's wrong, parents allowing their kids to stay home all the time, when I was little my parents used to tell me to go outside and play, meet new kids. But parents dont understand and they are too scared to send their kids outside. What if they get kidnapped? What if they get hurt? These questions run through their mind. And then they buy their kids video games, and all the video games are so violent these days that it leaves a violent effect in the kids brain. And when the kids grow up, all they have seen is violence and they grow up to be a violent person. A kidnapper him self. So my request to the parents is that let your kids go out, let them see what the world is all about, they will learn. If they get hurt, they will know how it feels and it's all a part of the learning process. It is always bad to keep your kids locked inside the house, because the moment they get freedom, they will go all out. For example, if you compress the spring to the maximum limit, the moment you release it, it will shoot out. That is what happens to kids too. Your kid will be more social by going out then playing those video games or chatting online.
