Networking and communication I feel is a double edged sword. It is great as far as convenience of use and it offers us with so many different ways of communicating. However, although all of this technology is great it does have its downfalls. It can become and addiction, I know of one person who sends 13,000+ texts every 10 days. that roughly equals to 1,300 to 1,400 texts every single day. Surely, such an addiction is not good.
One can also be distracted by texting for example. The article "Texting Woman falls in fountain, files lawsuit" is proof of this.
She was distracted and fell into a fountain. This is technically her fault and I doubt any judge would take her side. Texting can kill, I do not know the exact figure of many traffic deaths are due to texting while driving. Not only can texting and networking cause injury or even death but it can cause emotional pain and stress. There is such a thing as bullying over social media sites. Networking and not having normal face to face time can affect the way people communicate with one another. It can lead to people feeling shy or overly awkward when in group situation.
