I want to add that technological progress influences on people's communication. We are less likely to interact with other people outdoors, because why should we go outside if we can just write or call somebody by skype? Many people spend most of their time sitting in the social networks. There are a lot of functions that can help you to communicate with people in the internet. So, that's why we can't deny the fact that social networks really replace alive relationship.

First of all i want to make a clear that there is no any connection between the ways of communication with other people between social networks and real life. I mean social networks are too simple. Personally i use social networks to receive an information that i want to receive. Another advantage of social networks, as Dinara claims, is connection to the people with whom you don't have pleasure to speak but because of the etiquette.

However, i support the idea that social networks replace alive relationships? "How?" you can ask me, thinking that social networks are easy to communicate. The answer in your people's attitude to it. I talked to people that were sitting in social networks too much time. I nreal situation they lose their charm or some advantages that the use in social networks. And it is important to say that quantity of these people is growing every day. Why? Because of the popularity of social network for people, especially for teenagers. Teenagers are the future for governments and there is a necessity to do something with this problem or we will have a world full of people that are to depended on social networks.

Yes, I agree with you in case, where teenagers using social network to make authority, which in real life worth nothing. For those, who is good for nothing social network replacing reality, and they can be different in i-net, be more beautiful, cool and have a lot of "friends", who, indeed, is not a friend in real life. However, i do not think that we should use Internet only for researches and finding information, there are some cases, when, even you want or not, S/N replace your reality.

technology has became something that we depend on, and it has replace live relationship. now and days we keep in touch with long lost friend through facebook twitter etc., people fake to be other people and who you thought you was talking to may not be that person. before texting and social networks we would keep in touch with phone calls and pictures even letters why not do that more often than social networks. make sure the person we talking through facebook, twitter is actually are friends, aunts, family member. teenagers like to start a fake page about people how would you know that person is the person you think it is.

Well, in my opinion, social networks are joining community up because most people, with whom we are interacting via facebook, twitter or another social networks, we know in real life. So, it means that social networks help individuals keep in touch with people (friends, colleagues, relatives), who far away from you. Moreover, you are able to know about latest tridents in your friends life. So, I think, it's great opportunity for us to stay in touch with friends all around the world

Social networks kill "real" relationships?

At first, I think it depends on situation, because, for example if person are disabled, it is good for him to have a possibility to contact with his peers, to have conversations, to be happy, because he would feel more normal, and forget for a while about his limitations.

Secondly, it is good chance to contact with close friends if there are abroad (i have this situation now, one in Novosibirsk, and the second one in Birmingham, thanx to the skype and i-net, that we are still in touch).

And the last arguments is that you do not have to waste your time, drinking coffee or walk with person you do not like, but you have to spend time(at least hour or more) with him, due to politeness and etiquette. How i-net helps in this case? You can chat for a few days and decide whether you are interested in this person or you have different tastes and views on life.

Also, there are arguments like if you are closed person you can train in internet to learn how to make simple conversations and then practice it in real life.

Side: Yes, it's

No because you don't know who you are talking too and what there background is. I would rather meet the person or see who they are then chat with someone I don't even know online.

I understand your point of view and also agree with it. However, not everybody will support your idea. In addition, trust me, there is a huge quantity of people that use social networks as a device to communicate with other world because of their fears, complexes or things, that are sacred deeply in their minds. They find it easier to chat with people rather than go outside, and open for themselves a real world.

I partly agree with you. But you need to keep in your mind facts that interacting with people via social networks might help people overcome their fears and complexes and make a first step toward 'alive' relationships.

So, in some cases, social networks actually teach us how to interact with other people in real life.

Side: No, it isn't

I don't really want to talk to someone that I don't know. I have tons of people I know from school that I could date in real life after I am out of school since I know them a lot better than those people on the internet. You can't trust everyone on the internet. I don't have a social network thing like Facebook my parents think I don't need it.

IN my point of view social networks will never replace alive relationship.First of all it waste of time it is better to go outside with you friends.Can u imagine how you are trying to go outside with your laptop,for example it will be kinda unusual even for you.And the other point is that it will damage your reality i think it is the same with video gamed,as we all know there are a lot of people who has suffered from this addiction they lost their minds,can not control their movements.I think it little bit the similar.In addition it will be hard to identify the other human real attitude and thoughts.We can not identify them even when we know this person very good we have to look at his emotions and many expressions.Thats why i am against this.

i don't totally agree with you. Yes, maybe it is dangerous for people to lose reality, but in the real life, the majority uses the social networks for communicating. So it is possible that it can replace alive relationship or it has already replaced it. i have heard many stories that people have found each other by network and then they find out that they fall in love.

Side: Yes, it's

They can be a supplement that leads into a real relationship.

Yes Sima i agree with you that there are so many situations when people find each other through the network stuff,but i think it just a fortune.And i want to say that for example it is really hard to find out the real intention of your communication.Yes,you will chat with him,trying to know him or her better,but there is a risk of being disappointed. After some time you will try to meet with him in your real life and while meeting you can be disappointed with his attitude or may be your imagination made like an ideal profile of this person and it can be stressful for yourself.

Side: No, it isn't

so if they find each other and continue communicating that means that networks replaced alive relationship. and we even can manage with finding your second lover without any meetings in real life. we have web camera and we can see and be sure that this person is good and you are satisfied with him.

"we have web camera and we can see and be sure that this person is good and you are satisfied with him."

Well, can your imagine couple, who just chatting in social networks without a one date in real life? Can we actually call this two persons, who has virtual relationship, a couple?

In my opinion, no, we cannot. In this case social networks simply help us to find mate. But after your have found this person, yours communications will go to the next level- interactions in real life. So, they (social networks) do not replace alive relationship.

Side: No, it isn't

You know even using the web camera and other stuff you are not able to feel the real personality of this people.Because our life is not a video game and you have to live in reality.Yes new techniques are important and they help us to communicate with each others for example at long distances but it will never replace it it can be only a part of the development.

Side: No, it isn't

i think that love is such thing which can be felt in different conditions. and if people find each other from network then they will feel this feeling of love to each other. yes, it is not video game, but it plays big role in our life and in some cases it really replaces our alive relationship even if people should live in reality.

Social networks have not proven to replace live communication. That being said, social networks have augmented communication and collaboration to the point where there is a fine line between social and live communication.

Side: No, it isn't

Pretty sure you are still 'alive' when using social networks, but I think I know what you mean. Personally I don't use social networks because I'm 'old fashioned' and I actually want to see the people I'm talking to (yeah, strange, I know). Social networks undoubtedly play to big a role in today's society, but they haven't taken over completely...yet ;)

Side: No, it isn't

Social networking does not replace alive relationships, however, it actually improves real life relationships of friends and families. Most people used social networking to keep up their offline relationship, in other words they use social networking to improve their relationship after their real life relationships. Researches had also shown that social networking improves the relationships of people.

Definetily not. We can communicate with anybody, share our problems, news. But it wouldn`t be so realistic. Social network just support, but not replace. I know a lot of examples, relationship can begin in the soc.network, but not continue and couldn`t be so strong as in real life.

Side: No, it isn't

It isn't, because you speak to a computer rather than a person. It is a lot better when you communicate vis-a-vis seeing emotions of your companion and express your own emotions which you definitely cannot do while chatting in the internet. It consumes too much time that you could have spent on real life activities. Person can become reserved as he/she loses the ability to communicate with others.

Side: No, it isn't

I think social networking helps people to get interactive and be open to new ideas, people. This also helps them to know how to handle the different people they meet daily and different types of relationships the get involved in

Side: No, it isn't
