Face-Face

Ladies and Gentlemen  and esteemed guests; a very Good evening. I feel extremely privileged this evening, to get an opportunity to share my thoughts for one last time in this summer.

May I begin my speech by asking you to name few  all time best, love couples  in this world? Who according to you in history are best couple, who are synonymous to true love?

When I searched internet for this information, I was filled with many names from “Romeo & Juliet” , “Salim & Anarkali , shahjahan & mumtaz”;  Good information. I am very happy about it.

I would like to ask you my next question: do you know anyone in the recent times, who shared history with the above pairs? There was no information regarding this on the internet.   Perhaps concept of best couples ended many years back.

  What does it mean to all of us? What does it reflect for all of us? What does it convey to everyone?

  I cannot say it on behalf of everyone like President Obama, but for me it means that we do not have strong relations like before. We do not have true love stories any more.  Those exist only in movies. Sad but true!!!!

Strong social and personal relationships no more exist.

When was the last time you had school reunion?

When was the last time you had a family get together with all of your cousins, parents, grandparents etc? It could be long time ago.

 Do you know the probable reason for this? Would you like to know?

It is all because of Face Book.  It is all because of Face book and you heard it right J

There are many disadvantages Facebook offers to mankind apart from its advantages.

Face book has joined” elite list of basic needs” essential for a human being. It now shares equal space of common needs of a human being such as food, water, shelter & personal hygiene. There can be more people without personal number in the country but not without an account in Face book. The more the friends in FB the more pride it is.  The more likes the happier we are.

Face book has helped a lot to create a personal brand for many individuals and for businesses. Moreover, it’s a major source of entertainment for people around the globe.  I couldn’t find my name in Internet before advent of Face book. Now I can be searched in Google. Thanks to face book to let this to happen. I can get popular one day on Face book which is my birthday

Face book is the most powerful social media and social networking site. It allows us to connect with our family, friends, work colleague and to meet new people. This is the best way to find our school, college or any other old profile. Moreover, it’s easy to find like-minded people by seeing their interests, and we can easily connect with them using wall updates, private message, poke or text, and chat.

It is a best thing for dating and video chatting. Wonderful.

Life is not all that simple. There are many side effects of FB. One primary target group who are severely affected by FB are teenagers. Face book has joined addiction club many years ago along with Drugs, alcohol etc

“You know you are addicted to Face book when you log off Facebook, turn your computer off, go to bed, role over, and log onto your Facebook from your phone one last time for the night.”   You are addicted when you End a face book conversation by liking the last comment that was posted.

Teenagers have started losing interest in their surroundings. They are addicted to Fb  and the only thing they are  concerned about is their “own” world, which is inside Fb.

The second disadvantage effect is that the real-world social interaction is diminishing. There is no doubt that they are going to have hundreds of friends on Fb , but with how many of them would you be interacting out in the real world. As a human being, we are a social creature and naturally require a real-world social interaction. When we are spending our maximum time on the Internet, it decreases our communication and social skills. 1 real friend interaction is more than 100 virtual friends. Slowly virtual world is becoming real and real world as virtual. Few years ago you would like to meet your old school mate. But now you would think

“What's the point of a high school reunion? I have Facebook. I already know he got fat. I already know she got married”

Once virtual life grows and appears real, relationships slowly diminish. It matters more if we can hug our father on Father’s day instead of wishing him in Face book. People tend to confuse to divide between personal lives and social life. When a couple fights, they change their status to single, when they calm down they propose to each other on their walls. We talk to walls more than anything and it is only possible due to Facebook

People nowadays take pictures, not for memories, but to post them on face book and get comments

Can you imagine your life if face book goes offline for a day or week. It could be impossible

Can you imagine your life without talking to family or friends for a day or week. Mostly Possible

Its time for us to think clearly.  Information about others  is good but too much information or silly updates help us no where. We need to understand importance of real world. Hand written letters, hugs, greetings, expressions and communication strengthen a relation. This could be the reason to  have good love stories in the past. That could be the reason why we know Romeo and Juliet.

Face book is like a knife in hand. We need to use it carefully to help us in our daily needs. The moment we relax it can injure us badly. Let’s not realize real world only when we cut our finger.

A relationship is not like Facebook where you can sign in/out

·         Don’t just text a friend, call him over his mobile

·         Don’t just wish your family in Facebook, meet them

·         Don’t post problems in Facebook, search for solutions in Google

Shut Down Facebook NOW go for FACE-FACE IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks all
