Cyberspace power

Is the use, or to be more precise, the power of the social networks troubling nowadays?

This question has pros and cons.

Let's start with the negative side. In reality, we make most of our technological equipments our companions with which we cannot live without, exactly like how we make the Internet our home.

Social networks, like Facebook, Instagram, X are social communication networks, that we use quite frequently. In my point of view, it can also make us "turn off" from the real life world, meaning, living in a sound proof bubble.

However, the social networks also have positive aspects. Knowing that, it contributes for important changes, namely through the manifestation of ideas and the connection of people.

Finally, social networks present two perspectives. It is up to each one of us to make a responsible use of them.
