Social Networks: The future?

I am new to Facebook. After I deleted my Myspace account because of boredom,
I decided to give Facebook a shot. My conclusion is:

I don't believe the future lies in social networks. It is all an utopia.
People think they are putting communication into other levels but in the
end they are just slowing down cultural development.

I will explain.

The main problem nowadays (for at least 15 years) is overinformation and
overstimulation. We all face this problem every day. It is about
filtering necessary information and processing the valuable information
in your brain.

This process is stressful and exhausting.

Now, if you are kept up to date all the time via Facebook and Twitter
what your so-called friends are doing and thinking, it simply is too much.


Networking is a great thing. Making contacts in the world, finding other
people to work with or to exchange knowledge and information. Fantastic!

Unfortunately social networks are not used in such a way by people. The
vast amount of output is pure bullshit. I am not interested if someone
is putting on his winter jacket or waiting for the bus. Why do people
feel the need to share their boring life with others?

Please, only be loud if you have something to say.

Quantity over quality. This describes the social networks of today.
Let's see if other people understand that this is not our future and
where developments will go.
