I saw a news report on TV about how online social networking sites are making it harder for teens who don’t have friends. They might already not have friends in real life, but they only get fake, or superficial friends online. Not that people you meet online can be bad or not real, but when it comes to real life scenarios, these teens will find it harder to know what it takes to make friends since they are online trying to make friends. The psychiatrist interviewed had said that he would never take back the time he had spent as a teen doing things with his friends in person. That is what having a real good time means, not being online. The online social networking sites are essentially making it harder for people to socialize outside of their house.
I see this as being our future with these online sites. It's a major problem, but fortunately people are getting the idea now and are trying to do something about it. The unfortunate though is that we might already have at least one generation lost.
