Social networks such as Facebook and online gaming are changing people’s view of who they are and their place in the world, according to a report by the government’s chief scientist.
The report published by Prof Sir John Beddington, says that traditional ideas of identity will be less meaningful.
One consequence could mean communities becoming less cohesive.
This change could be harnessed to bring positive changes or if ignored could fuel social exclusion, says the study.
So its official Facebook and other forms of social networking have turned us all into faceless recluses who are losing our identities while gradually fading into complete anonymity.
I’m sure there are some positives to social networking but there are way too many negatives and I think everyone would be better off we used them less or even better stopped using them altogether.
