Lately, I've noticed I'm more aware than usual of my Tuenti account. It's something that surprised myself, because until a few months ago, I have been living without a Facebook account, Tuenti or other similar social networks, and have refused to participate in them.
But a few months ago, someone convinced me to participate in these two social networks, with the aim to inform and connect quite easily with some friends to organize a tour during the summer holidays. Once experienced these two networks, I have to admit that they have some practical utility, are very well to be aware of events, concerts of your favorite bands, book presentations, etc..
So far everything has a certain logic, but what I do not like is this: I've noticed that people get hooked to these networks in a very addictive form, using much of their free time creating them and whether it a necessity to use and organize their life around them, a thing that seems ridiculous to me. That is, if you're not on Facebook, you do not exist, so people forget the traditional forms of contact with friends, and even have a bad habit to consider a"true friend" to all who are registered as self-friend in the network, when the reality is that in most cases they are barely known. I also noticed that many people behave in a superficial and totally unnatural way: for example, the comments of Tuenti and Facebook are said to love each other very often, but then when they meet with each other in a real situation, just they barely know what matters they have in common to speak or just what to say.
And all this... what happens in this way? Well, in my opinion is much more comfortable interacting with others behind a virtual barrier, without exposing our true face to others. Everything is much prettier, of course, but it is also true that we lose our social skills in an alarming manner, and what's worse, people seem to be happy with this way of life, without noticing anything.For now, I am satisfied with this awareness, with not to be overly dependent on this type of fraudulent social relations and, as far as possible, not be considered a freak by most of people that love passionately Facebook and all the false magic that surrounds it.
