Well Social Media Is Very Popular All Over The World And The First Thing That Anyone Thinks Of On Hearing Social Media Is Facebook!
In India,Facebook Is Becoming More And More Popular,Specially Among The Youth.But It Is Being Seen,That We Indians Are Using Facebook Slightly Different Way And Not As It Is Meant To Use.Some May Say That Adding This ''Desi Tadhka'' Is Good And Some May Find This A Cheap Way To Misuse A Good Things.
So Lets Take A Look At What Differences We Have Made:-
1)FACEBOOK IS MADE FOR CONNECTING KNOWN PEOPLE,WE INDIANS USE IT FOR MEETING STRANGERS
Yes,Facebook Is Made For Being Connecting All The Time With People Whom We Know.But Rather Than Doing This,The Majority Of Indian Facebook Users Are Using It As A Online Dating Site.They Are Making Thousands Of Unknown Friends For Some Flirt Chats Which They Find ''Cool''.
2)THE LIKE,COMMENT AND SHARE BUTTONS ARE ALSO MISUSED!!
Facebook And Implemented Three Buttons With Each And Every Post-The Like Button,The Comment Button,And The Share Button.They Are Meant To Express Our Views Regarding Any Picture,Status Updates On Any Of Our Friends.
What We Do Is Post A Celebrity Comparison Pic And Ask Others To Like If They Support The First Celebrity And Comment If They Support The Second Hilarious.Even Mark Zuckerberg Would Be Surprised If He Sees Those Type Of Posts.
Why Dont The People Understand That Instead Of Liking,Commenting On Facebook Posts For Showing Love Towards Mother Or Belief In God,One Should Do Something Physically.
3)NO MERCY TO THE ''TAG'' FEATURE TOO!!
Facebook Gives A Option To Tag Your Friends In Any Picture You Post.
How It Is Meant To Use:- If You Post And Picture And Any Of Your Friends Is Also There In The Picture,Then You May Tag Him/Her To Show That They Are In The Pic.
How It Is Used:- We Use It To Notify Our Friends About The Pics We Post.Or Simply,We Ask Them To Like/Comment On The Pics.Same Happens With The ''He Was With You'' Feature For Status.
4)Facebook Pages Are Meant To Promote/Represent Our Real Life Business.No To Make Joke Pages With Famous Indian Phrases As Names.
Facebook Pages Are Meant To Make A Social Media Representation Of Our Real Life Business To Keep The Real Life Fans Updated.For Example,If You Own A Restaurant Then You May Create A Facebook Page Of It.Then Your Visitors Will Like The Page And You May Give Regular Updates Of What New Recipes Are Available At Your Restaurant And At What Specific Cost.
We Indians Create Facebook Pages With A Catchy ''Daily Using Indian Phrase'' And Ask Other To Like The Page.And What More,We Create Unofficial Pages Of Celebrities And State That They Are Official.
So Overall,Facebook Is Made To Make People Stay Connected With The People The Know.And Share Their Real-life Events.Not To Make Fake Profiles, Meet Strangers And Flirt.
Now You May Think,That If The Way Majority Of indians Use Facebook Isnt Harmful Then Here We Go,
1)The Amount Of Crap Post Updates By Your Unknown Friends Will Overlap The Updates By Your Known Friends Which You Should Know
2)Fake Profiles,Flirting And Bullying In Facebook Has Led To The Situation Where A Indian Girl Hesitates To Put Her Pic In Facebook
So you think this is alright?Its up to you....
HAHAHA! Totally true!
