“Social Networking - A reason for Decline in Human Values”
Powerful new technologies provide great benefits, but they also change the way we live, and not always in ways that everyone likes.

Today we are more interested in updating our status and in liking other’s pictures rather than face to face sharing of joys and sorrows with our dear ones. We are busier in poking others and making groups and committees on facebook and orkut rather than personally interacting with people. Today Birthday wishing has been restricted to writing on the person’s wall unlike older days when people used to wish the same, face to face, making the person feel really special and happy.
