A new online society seems to be forming

With the popularity of social networking sites today, many people through the network to meet new friends, a new online society seems to be forming. But a new survey shows that Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, which should have brought us closer to the social networking platform, could lead to growing loneliness in humans.

Face-to-face conversation into wishful thinking

The survey was launched by the British Mental Health Foundation for young people aged 18 to 34, the world News reported. The survey found that 1/3 of these people were accustomed to contacting their families and friends on the Internet rather than actually visiting them and face-to-face communication.

Experts in the study of autism confirmed that when people face contact, the posterior pituitary gland secretes a hormone that resembles oxytocin. This hormone can help people reduce stress, increase trust, and even inspire feelings of love. However, network communication is hard to stimulate the brain to produce this hormone.

In the survey, respondents held different views on the reasons for the rise of social networking. An interviewee named Joseph blamed the young man for his laziness, "I'd rather meet my friends and have a drink." Another respondent, Gustave, said he would not blame Facebook, but blame people for being selfish because they don't want to spend time in real life to really understand others.

Human warmth lambasted kill

In fact, the impact of social networking sites on interpersonal relationships has long been a reflection. The biggest winner of the 68th annual Golden Globe Award, unveiled in January this year, is the "social network" based on the Facebook founder Zuckerberg story. The film describes the "Facebook" of the habitual interaction between people change the pattern. Like lonely, lonely actor mark, by clicking the mouse can capture more than 1.33 million "friends", but in the real world, his best friend is suing him.

What does a friend mean when he or she can have thousands of "good friends" on social networking sites? Some experts point out that the interpersonal relationships that social networking sites are becoming superficial and low-quality. "Facebook" such a social networking site seems to deepen the understanding between people, but in fact, in the destruction of some of humanity's most tender parts, such as the breakup of the couple, simply click on the home page "Delete", can let the other side in their own world disappeared without a trace.

The national newspaper of Spain has predicted that loneliness will become the "social plague" of the 21st century. The findings of the British Mental Health Foundation confirm the accuracy of the predictions. Of the more than 2000 Britons surveyed, about 1/10 per cent admitted to being lonely. It is particularly surprising that the proportion of people who feel lonely in the 18 to 34 age group is nearly 60%, well over 35% of the population over 55 years of age.
