Social Media Networks Taking Time for Friends

Keeping in touch with friends is easy these days. You can update your Facebook status and follow your friends’ tweets on Twitter. You can also send and check text messages from your cell phone. Social media is convenient, but how often do you see your friends face-to-face? Time and technology often go hand in hand. Some people say they use networks like Facebook because they don’t have time to socialize in person.

Others admit they waste time online when they are at work. Social networking on-the-job is a common cause for dismissal. Some companies block popular websites. They don’t trust their employees to stay on task. Perhaps there is a happy medium. Do you really need to know what your second cousin had for lunch? Maybe you should wait until your break to check.
