Networks Networks allow computers to exchange information among themselves directly without using disks, floppy disks, etc. In addition, you can communicate through them. The most common types of computer networks are wired and wireless. The network is wired when for

« I am updating, therefore, I exist"(Andrew Keane)

There are many advantages of communicating on social networks, but few talk about the minuses, so I decided to fill this gap.

“There are reasons for active communication on the Internet. For example, loneliness or lack of communication in reality, or even the possibility of self-expression, when no one listens to a person differently, and he is not interesting to anyone. On social networks, a user can instantly make public any idea, any thought that has crossed his mind. "Bloggers write" has become a steady expression, as "British scientists have proven." Even in the press, it became possible to refer to the inscriptions on the fence. A person in social networks seems significant only because he expressed his opinion. Through social networks you can immerse yourself in a special world that is very close to reality, and start living in it according to its laws, seriously receiving support and confidence from this world. ”

“... for virtual improvement, no effort is needed. In ordinary life, a teenager can be thin, with acne on his nose, awkward, and on the net - brave, beautiful, convincing. The main thing is to upload good photos and fill the page with relevant content, ”says Lev Perezhogin, senior researcher at the Serbsky Center, who has been studying the behavior of“ virtual drug addicts ”for more than a decade.

Technology is a peculiar way of compensating for dislike and failure, which has definite and unconditional advantages. Unlike other compensation methods (shopping, food), it does not require either money or effort. However, it is not so socially condemned and does not look as dangerous as alcohol, tobacco and drugs.

“In recent years, social networks have flooded the pages of groups raising money for urgent and insanely expensive operations for seriously ill children. The most popular are hundreds of thousands of people! However, alas, not all of them are driven by a noble goal. “If a person does not have a personal scale of values \u200b\u200band happiness, then he evaluates his life in context. Among the “stars” it is easy to feel like a loser, but in the context of someone else’s grief, you can easily feel your own well-being. People sometimes prefer not to change their lives, but to create an emotional contrast: against the background of other people's problems, the subjective feeling of the quality of one’s own life improves"- explains the psychotherapist Gennady Averyanov."

In pursuit of security, man built technospherethereby shutting off from the "natural" nature. A person alienated from nature:

Providing physical security, there was free time that was spent on entertainment, in particular virtual reality.

“... our laziness leads to the fact that we spend our lives on games. You have everything: there is light, there is gas, previous generations have tried. Previously, people could do something with their hands, and not just sit in white shirts in the office. And now we live in an era of the illusion of action. All our reality leads us to the need to somehow kill time.
  Only no one can ever kill time, but time constantly kills ourselves. What will you come to the end of life with? So you killed, and killed your time, and now it is over, and then what? What did you manage to do? Grow two tons of virtual carrots? Gather a thousand virtual friends? ”

Social networks are attracted by the possibility of self-expression, communication, but they are an illusion (ersatz, surrogate) of satisfying real needs. Social networks have led to the gradual alienation of a person from a person; social atomization   - The phenomenon of breaking friendship, family, neighborhood and other social ties; the emergence of isolated individuals whose social connections and contacts are predominantly impersonal, rational.

« Existential vacuum - A widespread phenomenon in the twentieth century. It is easy to explain; it is to blame for the double loss that man has suffered since he became a real human being. At the beginning of his story, man lost some of the animal instincts that determined the behavior of the animal and served as its protection. Such protection, like Paradise, is forever lost to us; we have to make decisions consciously. In addition, another loss occurred, and at a very recent stage of development: traditions that have long served as a reliable pillar of human behavior have greatly weakened. Now neither instincts tell him what to do, nor traditions - what should be done; sometimes he doesn’t even know what he wants. Instead, a person either seeks to act like others do (conformism), or does what others want from him (totalitarianism) ”( Victor Frankl. “A man in search of meaning”).

Mass thinking   - Another trend that is noticeable on social networks.
  “The masses are those who go with the flow and lack guidance. Therefore, the mass man does not create, even if his capabilities and strength are enormous. ”
  "Mass thinking is the thinking of those who are ready to answer any question in advance, which is easy and quite comfortable." “... the psychological picture of today's mass man: these two features are the unhindered growth of life's demands and, therefore, the unbridled expansion of his own nature and, second, the innate ingratitude to everything that managed to make his life easier.” It's not that the mass person is stupid. On the contrary, today his mental abilities and capabilities are wider than ever. But this does not go well for him: in fact, a vague sense of their capabilities only makes him clog up and not use them. Once forever, he consecrates that mishmash of common truths, incoherent thoughts and simply verbal garbage that has accumulated in him by chance, and imposes it everywhere and everywhere, acting by the simplicity of the soul, and therefore without fear and reproach. Today, on the contrary, the average person has the most rigorous ideas about everything that is happening and should be happening in the universe. Therefore, he forgot how to listen. Why, if he finds all the answers in himself? There is no point in listening, and, on the contrary, it is much more natural to judge, decide, pronounce a sentence. There was no such social problem wherever he met, remaining deaf and blind everywhere and imposing his “views” everywhere (Jose Ortega y Gasset. Rise of the Masses, 1929).

“The presence of a person in social networks has introduced purely Internet sins into the spiritual world. For example, you are very addicted when you check messages, comments, photos every minute, since now they come to the computer and the phone, and you are “always in touch”. Or pure internet vanity when you think how many likes"How many reposts, how many people you have in your friends - this is virtual gathering, the price of which is clear to a person living a spiritual life."

“How long to write? Too lazy to write? Is it hard for you to write because your vocabulary does not allow you to express the whole gamut of feelings? Like» .

“A person does not have his own words to express feelings, he is too lazy to think a lot about what he has read. But at the same time the user wants to stay smart and modern in the eyes of his friends. And therefore - repost. The whole mass of users has been doing the same thing for many years: they are looking for what they think is something interesting and fun on the Web and doing reposts. Fortunately, now every site provides an opportunity to take some news and post it on your Facebook page (or VKontakte). ”

“In practice, this means that if you create a message that explains to the reader why by sharing it, he will look better in the eyes of others or how it will improve his relationship with others, then this will increase the likelihood that he will actually repost” ".

The study showed that “a large number of“ friends ”in social networks are characteristic of people who are primarily interested in themselves. They expand their contact list by any means, just to increase the number of people who could satisfy their need to be in the spotlight. In fact, their activity in the network does not imply either communication itself, or cognitive, cognitive development .... So, they believe that their “avatar” should carry information that they are happy and that they have a good sense of humor. That is, the Internet for them is a way to create a certain image of I. It is they who begin to form a dependence on the network, they connect alerts via e-mail in order to constantly be aware of who writes what and what comments they make. This, in the end, leads to the development of hysteroid traits and the formation of dependence on social networks. "

“The feeling gained in the process of self-presentation is so strong that when a user views his own profile on Facebook, he’s self-esteem.”

Artist: Jean Jullien

“Creating a page about himself, a person always draws a portrait that is pleasant for others. Without any doubts. He will not post on his page something that will ruin his image. To some extent, we see a real person, but only to the extent that he wants to show himself to others. That is, in fact, we see a lie. "

“We put our lives on hold, curiously studying other people's pages on social networks. And ... we understand that the people around us are more successful. Compared with us, they often go to restaurants, travel more, dress more expensively. They have such a happy family and a beautiful car! We do not realize that we see only a ceremonial portrait, an image version that has passed strict censorship. In other words, distorted reality. But who thinks of reality in the virtual world?

Social networks create an illusory planet   - as in the American film "Surrogates" (directed by Jonathan Mostow, 2009), where android robots bought in a supermarket live the lives of people. A person has the right to choose a surrogate to his taste, embodying in him all the pipe dreams of beauty, youth, strength and sexuality. And while the doll performs representative functions, its owner can lie on the couch in a soiled robe with unwashed head and cellulite on the hips, enjoying the kind of sensation his "deputy" makes. "

“Any network, and Facebook (and VKontakte) in particular, provide an opportunity not to live, but to play a chosen role. Moreover, over time, these roles can be changed by changing accounts, creating new ones, and inventing new roles for yourself. Here it is - the main attraction of the network: the opportunity to live a different life, to feel in a different essence, albeit invented, albeit not real, but how sweet and how easy it is to become different! The network is becoming the place to realize the almost impossible - starting from scratch. And even if this opportunity is absolutely illusory, even if it’s your own imagination, even if you can be in it only sitting at the computer, it beckons with its prospect to feel strong, respected, beautiful, smart, interesting ... A man is structured in such a way that he is inclined to consider the most significant thing to be the one that brings him maximum satisfaction from the results obtained. Since the "setule" ( to a frequent inhabitant of social networks) almost always manages to play a role in the network, in the shortest time, social connections, real relationships begin to lose their significance for him. All the events of real life are pushed into the background, it begins to seem that here, on Facebook, he, the network, became real, became what he always wanted to be, that it was here that his talents were revealed. There is a substitution of concepts: a person gives his virtual role as his own "I". ”

“A book will always remain true spiritual food. If it disappears, the Internet will disappear. Because it all starts with a book. The Internet is an arrangement of a book in another space, in another short, clip-like form. But there is nothing new. Proverbs, sayings, wisdom, aphorisms have always existed. They publish special collections, where aphorisms are selected by topic. Say, “philosophers of friendship” or “physicists are joking.” Facebook is also the saying you read at breakfast. ”

“Excess information, inability to cope with it leads to stress, persistent disorder of the nervous system, interpersonal conflicts, human diseases” - ““.

A bit about #Facebook:

"one. Viewing other people's accounts can have a strong impact on self-esteem. 75% of Facebook users are unhappy with their appearance. Of these, 51% consider the reason for this is the constant comparison of their photos with others on social networks.

2. Excessive enthusiasm for communication on the Web can lead to a loss of social skills - behavioral and communicative: social networks actually deceive the brain, making it believe that virtual communication satisfies all the social needs of children and adolescents.

3. According to the results of surveys, most people do not disdain surveillance on social networks for their partners. The result is a burning baseless jealousy or even a breakup.

“And how many times have I met the development of the scenario of the Bat, when the hero chased a stranger, confessed his love to her, and this turned out to be his own wife! This happens all the time on the network, where the wives begin to communicate on the Internet with their husbands under the guise of free girls, or their friends do the same at their request, thus checking you. And if in virtual reality you have now agreed to meet a stranger, then think about whether this will be a date with your own wife or girlfriend?
And if the chic girl you are waiting for every day in ICQ and who regularly sends you her photos in extremely frank and beautiful outfits on an ideal figure is actually a bored gay who is amused by your confessions, then blame yourself only that you entertained him in this way" .

“The support of loved ones is equally important for men and women: 22% of Russians admitted that if a person they love doesn't like and comment on their posts, they start to worry. The imbalance is explained by the fact that men are more sensitive to social approval - 14% of Russians said that they have a fear of collecting too few likes and become known as unpopular among friends. For Russian women, this figure is 7%. ”

4. Simple scrolling of the tape not only makes you lose time, but also creates an irresistible feeling of loneliness and limitation in the addict. 80% of social network users surveyed by researchers admitted that they cannot help but check the page at least once a day, and a third of those surveyed do this with painful   regularity. "

“... the dependence on social media is manifested if, firstly, a person spends more time online in space than outside of him, and secondly, if his main experiences occur in virtual reality, there may also be a desire to constantly go into network, find out the latest news. So, it turns out that communication on a social network does not complement communication with living people, but often simply replaces it. ”

Artist: John Holcroft

“Among the respondents, 90% agree that social networks cause psychological dependence. 35% confirmed that they have a desire and interest to enter the social network if they have not visited it for several days. At the same time, not one of the respondents believes that social networks are harmful, on the contrary, 40% expressed a positive attitude, and 60% believe that it should be considered depending on the purpose of use. To the question “Was there a desire to delete your account?” 35% replied that it was not. The rest (65%) had a similar desire and the main reasons were: “loss of interest” (32.5%), “time-consuming” (17.5%), “I feel addicted” (5%), “I don’t I want to flaunt my life (5%). The results indicate that the majority recognize their dependence, but do not consider it a negative quality. ”

Other types of addictions (methods for producing dopamine hormone):

• alcohol;
• drugs
• smoking;
• gambling addiction;
• anorexia nervosa, bulimia;
• shopaholism;
• medicines;
• workaholism;
• co-dependence (love addiction);
• counterdependence.

Why is addiction formed? Not enough (loss) of one's own value. The search for confirmation of their value outside (the requirement from others to recognize their own value).

“The truth is that in the so-called“ social ”networks, we mostly communicate with ourselves. MIT professor Sherry Turkle calls this condition " loneliness together", I.e. the more social we become, the more we connect, communicate and interact, the more we feel lonely. ”

Most of the current arguments for and against social networks are collected in the book “Intellectual Stroke. How to remain human in the world of robots and not lose yourself ”(2016). # I recommend reading!

#Joke   about this theme.

The daughter tells her father: “Dad, I fell in love with a guy who lives very far away. Imagine, I'm here - and he is in Australia! ”-“ And how did this happen? ”-“ It's simple: we met on one dating site, then he became my friend on Facebook, we chatted with him for a long time on ICQ, he admitted I love Skype, and now we have been together with him for two months on Viber. In general, dad, I want you to give the green light and congratulate me! ”-“ Yes, of course, I agree: marry by clicking “Yes” on Twitter, buy children on Amazon and pay for them using PayРal. And if you can’t endure it anymore, sell it on eBay. ”

"So called " trolls"Is a well-known category of malicious Internet users who absorb the attention of others, provoking other users in various ways. But is it necessary to share your attention with completely incomprehensible people who are carrying some kind of nonsense, demanding pity for themselves, inventing various stories for themselves, asking you for your opinion on any issue? You have to study, work, meet friends, build your life, why be distracted by these “trolls” who have no numbers, they have filled all the forums and blogs. ”

About communication in social networks.   Further, a large excerpt from the book by Andre Morois (1885-1967) - specifically indicated the years of the author’s life (then there was no Internet):

« # Chronophage. This word, if I’m not mistaken, was invented by Monterlan. It denotes a dangerous species of the human race: time eaters.
The chronophage is most often a person who has no real business and who, not knowing what to kill his time for, decides to fill his leisure time, devouring yours. The impudence of this creature is incredible. He writes to authors he is not familiar with, demanding an immediate response; at the same time, in his heartlessness, he comes to the point of attaching a postage stamp to the letter, thereby plunging the well-bred addressee into confusion; he solicits a deliberately unnecessary meeting and, if a person, to his misfortune, agrees to accept it, bothers him until the host's extreme irritation prevails over courtesy. He will tell you about his life and ask about yours. Happiness, if he does not keep a diary for everything else, where he will write down later that you are supposedly not the same as before, where the former liveliness has just disappeared, that you seem faded, it is not interesting to talk with you, in a word, he is very disappointed. And future biographers, not suspecting that your silence stemmed from your indignation, will not fail to present you in their descriptions as a miserable old man.
  Do not hope to cajole the chronophage by leaving it to swallow a particle of your time. He is insatiable. Just as the dog, to which one of the companions inadvertently threw a chicken’s wing, certainly returns to the hand that fed him and, touchingly looking, extends his paw for a new portion, so the Chronophage, having discovered that the person is soft and weak-minded, will mercilessly abuse this discovery . Your tolerance will encourage him to appear again, write to you and bother you in every way.
  “I have a lot of work,” you say uncertainly.
  - Indeed? - the Chronophage will ask. - How interesting. And what are you working on?
  - Over the novel.
  - Over the novel? But my whole life is a romance ... And now he was definitely spurred. Midnight will catch you in the same place. If he manages to lure you to him, you are dead. You are the bone that he dragged into his kennel, and rest assured, he will nibble you clean. And if he sets his friends against you, a whole bunch of chronophages will devour you. These creatures are grouped into communities and willingly share prey with each other.
Hence the moral: stay with the chronophages firmly and mercilessly exterminate them. Softness and scrupulousness will not achieve anything. On the contrary, it is these qualities that create a microclimate in which the chronophage thrives. He is unusually tenacious and must be destroyed. I hate violence, but in this case it is necessary. After all, do not let the predatory beast tear you to pieces, not trying to defend yourself. And the chronophage is like a predator, it takes your life. For what is our life if not time. “Where is that person who appreciates time at least a little, knows how to cherish every day and understands that, moment by moment, he brings him closer to death? .. While we put off life for tomorrow, it passes. Nothing belongs to us to such an extent as time; it is ours. And this is the only and fleeting asset that we allow to seize the first comer ... "
  Here, my dear, that Seneca wrote to his friend Lucius two thousand years ago, and this proves that the chronophages exist as long as human society itself. But most importantly, let not a fit of bad mood in which you find me serve as an excuse to deprive me of your presence or to measure sparingly those moments that you give me.
  The woman we like will never become a chronophage, she fills our time in the most pleasant way for us. Farewell".

“Yes, if you communicate a lot on a social network, then ask yourself, and what did you learn from these social networks? By and large, some nonsense that you already do not remember the next day.
  I once read a modern romance novel. I arrived at the cottage, there was nothing at all from the books, but someone forgot this book in the car. And during the night, or rather, in about three hours, I read all this about who loved whom, what passions happened to the heroes. And in the morning I went out to have breakfast - and could not remember anything from what I had read: neither the plot, nor the names, nothing. It's emptiness. The same thing happens with virtual communication. "People communicate, share information with each other, but what, are they smarter or better than that?"

In the book Jocelyn Gleigh “E-mail cleaning. How to get rid of phobias in the head and from trash in the mailbox "   met curious thoughts:

“There is an old saying:“ Tools are excellent servants, but very poor masters. ” This is true for information technology. One of the skills that all of us need in the 21st century is the ability to test new technologies and master them. The amazing thing: email has been over 25 years old, and it still brings confusion to our lives, largely due to technological advances that are changing the time and means of receiving emails. Have developed a system for processing mail arriving at the workplace? And if messages start to come on a mobile phone? And if a smart watch starts signaling the arrival of each new letter? And so on.
  Email is not unique - it is just one example of how new technology can quickly take leading roles in our lives. The widespread use of smartphones, text messaging and social networks has all had a huge impact on our lifestyle and work: smartphones let us find you anywhere, text messaging made conversations unnecessary, and social networks canceled privacy.
  These different paradigm changes are not over yet. Something new is constantly being invented in the world, and we have to change our relationships with existing technologies.
Ten years ago, we did not spend time on social networks, because they simply did not exist. Now a person spends only on social networks an average of 1.72 hours a day, and in general on the Internet - more than 6 hours a day. But what are we sacrificing? What would we spend this watch ten years ago on?
  In fact, each new technology is an unexpected test for our priorities, as it offers new pleasures and entertainments that fight for our attention. We have to choose again and again which occupation deserves to be focused on and which simply distracts us, reducing effectiveness.
Many other technologies cause us the same annoyance as email, and the reasons for this are approximately the same. Social networks, text messaging, real-time chat programs are addictive systems with irregular rewards that stimulate our rat brain. Twitter, Facebook, Slack and other social networks offer streams of information that can entertain, inform, surprise. But they are never predictable. Each of these media tools, such as email, offers an extremely attractive “lever” that we can click to avoid less enjoyable (and tedious) serious work. But if we want to achieve something, we must learn not to pay attention to them when more important matters demand it.
  Moreover, abandoning the world of tangible, tangible means of communication - newspapers, letters, receipts - in favor of digital, we are moving from a state limited by physical space (in the literal sense - the size of a mailbox) to a state where the amount of information received is unlimited. In other words, the volume of incoming messages - information, questions and suggestions of other people - now always exceeds the volume of outgoing messages, of what we are able to answer. You can spend the whole day commenting on each new Facebook post or replying to every tweet. "An unlimited flow of information awaits us every second, trying to take as much of our time and energy as we are ready to give it to him."

“... each user service   forced to observe the orders established by the owners the system, but if he doesn’t like these orders, then he simply doesn’t succeed in taking and leaving (for example, to another similar system): after all, those with whom our user communicated will remain in this service, all at once to a new the system   you won’t convince to leave. Moreover, for the sake of being able to communicate with existing users servicemore and more people come into the system (so far!). ”

Be careful before investing your time and energy in someone else's capture of leverage over the Network.

“According to a survey of 4831 active users of social networks that Kaspersky Lab conducted in 12 countries, the vast majority (78%) of respondents thought about leaving them, but were forced to continue using them. In the first place among the reasons why users would like to leave social networks, the fact that they spend too much time on them. "

“The fact of the accumulation of a large amount of personal information and information about the social connections of individuals in one place deserves special mention, and only the lazy did not write about this problem. In this context, the desire of the administrators of "social network" sites of Russian origin looks at all costs to find out the mobile phone number of each of the users. Foreign sites have not been noticed in such “telephony”, but this is understandable: Russia is one of the few countries where mobile users are required to present a passport when connecting, that is, to reveal their identity. And now we have two large-scale repositories of personal and social information, and if desired, the identity of each participant can be uniquely established. At this pace, the secret services will soon be able to dissolve their unofficial informants, because it’s much easier to find out everything they are interested in by analyzing the information accumulated by “social networks”. ”

Some of us voluntarily leave our social accounts. networks to live freely. It was even popular to delete your pages with the words "I can’t live and work peacefully while there is a page on the Internet with my name." What is she like life without social networks?

About two years ago, a friend of mine deleted his page in a contact and did not just deactivate it, but completely deleted it by writing a letter to administrators asking them to erase all personal information from their servers. And they seem to have promised to certainly fulfill the request.

The effect of his stories was huge. There was no longer any need to constantly check the news. And is it really the very news, the importance of which is so significant for us? You no longer have to bother asking friends, approve or leave strange network characters in your subscribers, constantly look at someone’s pages, take pictures of everything that is happening around on your phone and post everything that comes to mind. There is no longer any need to view other people's pubs and administer your groups, get upset if someone uploaded your photos that aren’t the most successful to albums, or read endless spam from people promoting their interests and info-business. No need to worry about who else of your friends is playing Farm and can pick up all the carrots while you're not online, don’t be aware of what other people plan to cook for dinner or who broke up with someone, fell in love, got married and so on. .d.

You no longer need to look at the endless stream of jokes, demotivators and “wise” sayings of philosophers, presidents and stars for all time, think about how many likes your new photo collected or how many comments received a new album and the like. definitely has its advantages.

This is really strong, but under the prevailing conditions of social domination. Networks in the schedule of most almost unloads the head. You can forget everything at once and throw it off yourself, like a heavy burden that you no longer need. Yes, and never needed.

Deleting an account is not so much a teenage protest “to be not like everyone else” and not doing what everyone else is doing, but an attempt to protect oneself from the endless white noise that is constantly creating social media. network, in the chaos and roar of which our life and everything necessary and important is constantly drowning. quite an interesting experience in the real world.

  "I can’t live and work peacefully while there is a page on the Internet with my name." What is life without social networks like?

If you look closely, you can find quite a lot of people around, in fact, who, for one reason or another, are convinced, social. they don’t use networks at all - either they consciously refused some time ago, or they never even started. Which is very similar to other bad habits, such as smoking. Do not smoke mainly those who never started, plus a small layer of especially strong-willed people that they were able to quit. Buzzing in the social. Networks is a bad habit?

People who have left the network are no longer in touch with their distant relatives, acquaintances in primary school and colleagues from their first place of work. And at the same time not in touch with all those who have the habit of uncontrollably and constantly posting, commenting and liking. No, well, not really without an internet connection, of course. For important messages, there is still an e-mail box and phone, all the other, less important, just do not get into sight or are filtered out by spam filters. Ideal if you are not interested in less important details. It is their number in the news feed that is dozens, or maybe hundreds, of times greater than the number of informational messages that carry meaning.

Of course, you can express yourself without Contact, Instagram and Facebook. There are many free hosts for photos, sometimes even with the opportunity to listen to constructive criticism from other users, amateurs or professionals, which is much more useful than cloying comments in their albums from unfamiliar people who have little understanding in photography. Well, that’s if you want to continue to grow and develop in photography, of course.

Of course, having sifted out so much unnecessary, life becomes calmer and more relaxed. Under such conditions, you can build your information flow using twitter and a personal blog on some free platform and write there from time to time. Somehow historically it happened that in the blogosphere there is no particular need to check for updates to your friend’s feed seven times a day.

It’s even better to concentrate on something big and serious. Instead of short notes of 160 characters with hashtags, it is better to read the author’s columns and detailed analytical articles. Attention does not jump from one subject to another every two minutes, the brain is not overloaded with information fast food. And most importantly, the feeling of fuss and dividing time into short intervals disappears, which does not allow you to relax and focus properly on any one substantive subject.

For cooperation on the Web, you can leave yourself such useful tools as Google documents, conferences or personal Skype calls, in difficult situations, seek advice in private forums or participate in private group discussions in the same Google. Without social. Networks life still continues and continues, thanks to many useful tools, not completely isolated from the world, as you might imagine at first. You can write, as I said, on blogs, or even better, make your own website. Moreover, now it has become very simple to do this on the same WordPress.

Why not everyone can start life without social networks? Man is a social being, which is why buzzing in social networks is accepted by many as a natural need to be satisfied, and therefore it is so easy to become a habit. However, this buzz can develop into an informational tsunami, which is no longer easy to cope with.

People unnecessarily buzz on the Internet, because they are simply afraid to be alone with themselves. Typical flight from freedom of the weak in spirit.
Is there something terrible in an empty inbox or lack of new comments, views and likes? Is it possible to avoid boredom without constantly checking Contact, Facebook and Twitter?

It’s not easy to take and disconnect from the matrix, left alone with yourself, especially since at the same time uncomfortable thoughts about who you are in this world, what you are here for and what you are on really want etc. These are frightening thoughts, because every day, watching updates and drowning in a continuous stream of unnecessary news, none of us seem to have time to find the answers. And there are still no answers. Is not it?

A person who does not have answers to such important questions for himself is much more scared than a schoolboy who has not learned a lesson at the blackboard. This is clear. Hence the need to create a form of employment. Fill yourself with the trash of unnecessary news, overload your mind with useless information, just to prevent yourself from waking up and again becoming face to face with the most terrible questions.

But so the problem is not solved. The problem remains. Still, it’s worth sometime to take courage and disconnect from the social network for at least a day. Just just one day. To begin with, this will be quite enough. Spend this day strolling in the park in the fresh air, making plans for the future, drawing, reading a book, or even just thinking about something. It is important to catch oneself in thought, to realize that nothing terrible happened in isolation from the network. Rather, even the opposite. In the future, these experiments can be continued, lengthening the gaps, and in the end can even get out of social. networks forever?

The idea itself to get out of social. Networking forever can seem very intimidating at first. Life without social services. networks   it seems to many simply impossible. That is why various justifications and excuses immediately climb into my head, why this cannot be done, why there is no sense in deleting your account, why it can even be more harmful than useful. But in this case, the time and energy that can be saved by abandoning the senseless buzz, you can spend on something more worthwhile.

Do we really really lack social connections, news and events from our friends and acquaintances, whom they generously share in the news feed? It seems that you are no longer on the same wavelength with the rest of the world. It seems that so much interesting is happening on the Internet at the moment and that you can miss so much. It only seems so, it is an illusion. There is nothing to lose or lose, except for himself, of course. Yes, albeit not on the same wavelength as the rest of the world. But there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe it's time to start your own voyage on your own wave? Do not miss the great opportunity to become a conductor of your own orchestra, to play according to your own rules and on your own field, because you win only on your own field and according to your own rules. Although this does not sound sporty, it is much more adequate to reality. There is always a choice between a soared hamster in a wheel and free flight of a bird.

Falling out of a stream is a rather difficult task, especially if all the other people around are constantly in this stream and are very dependent on it. It is even more difficult not just to fall out, but to find the strength in yourself to remain outside this stream, outside the matrix forever, when all the other people around are constantly in it. Support must be sought in yourself. Time spent in silence and loneliness, alone with oneself, will give exactly that right strong feeling of all the egregious senselessness and uselessness of the information tsunami that people thoughtlessly and without special need for that generate and multiply. This feeling needs to be relied on. It makes no sense to keep abreast of news in which it makes no sense.

It is better to create a meaning by ourselves, meaningfully choosing the directions of our movement and our thoughts. And besides, it’s also useful to be independent, to be able to insist on your own, even if the whole world is going to hell. This is an invaluable skill and awareness that you can do this. It alone makes a person stronger and more confident. If a person was able to abandon all social connections on the Internet, even for a few days at a time, he could carefully listen to what his own inner voice was saying, find the courage to choose his own path, follow his intuition, realize his ideas and live full of life.

In the current reality, be independent, live without social services. Networking and living your life is not easy, it requires sacrificing almost everything you have. But perhaps this is the only thing that really costs such victims. Of course, the achievement of freedom and independence will take time and require a lot of effort. There will always be a temptation to return to a familiar and comfortable world, where they carefully feed on streams of memory-erasing information, where the lack of real affairs can be retouched by the construction of cities and business empires in applications, and the absence of real communication can be replaced by messages and likes. But this is not a reason to give up, the prize that will be given to the one who has stood up and does not succumb to temptations is huge and valuable.

The prize is real life, real friends and enemies, real successes and challenges, real cities and business empires. It really is all that you have on the monitor screen right now.
