Today, being aware of everything or knowing about other people life is deemed by many to be virtually a matter of life or death.
Media has a diversity of platforms in order to deliver information evermore quickly and efficiently. A click or touch means you can be wherever you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want.
Friendships built on face-to-face meetings are changing to online chat ... not because human beings do not enjoy been in the company of each other anymore, but rather because of the reality of globalisation. The consequences of this trend bring benefits but also harm if it is not been balanced properly, and that includes the fact that more and more people are becoming addicted the new social life style.
