Overhype Social Software and Web 2.0?
January21
I am more of a traditionalist, feeling that human emotions cannot be really expressed online. There are extreme limitations to socializing on the Internet. Social networking is a boon, it enables long lost friends to keep in touch, but it is a bane, it sometimes substitute real contacts with virtual contacts. I just feel that nothing can substitute a warm hug or hand shake, chats over a hot and steaming cup of coffee. I can see the greater reach of social networking but I urge everyone to be cautious, never let the virtual world take over you.
