Communicating with Friends and Family
Social Networking-
There are hundreds of social networking sites available on the Internet, Phones and Computers. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MSM, work alongside email, by being able to contact people as well as the ability to upload photos. Using these sites you can keep in touch with peers and associates and of course your treasured family members, using these you can build a detailed profile of yourself online to show off to your friends anything from where you have been on holiday recently to what TV programmes you like to watch, connect with other people: friends or strangers and view the information they have to offer so you don't have to even leave your home to learn about your friends and relatives. Currently many people both from their early teens to working people in their forties all use social networking to keep in touch with friends family and new people, and to make new friends! Not only can you use social networking as a recreational activity it also gives you your friends and family something to talk about!
However social networking was basically designed as an alternative to human contact, this means a higher percentage of socially awkward people who will have more difficulty getting jobs! However a huge disadvantage is cyber bullying this is when hurtful messages are sent to another person via technology this can make people very upset, although many websites and groups are fighting to get rid of this problem!
Phones-
Nearly everyone has a phone, from the range available its not surprising from the first release of the mobile phone of cell phone it was a huge hit the ability to contact anyone, anywhere this is extremely useful. If you only want a phone to keep in touch with your friends and family they come dirt cheap, however most of us want something to show off with, and show our friends were cool. Modernly Mobile phones are not only used to phone people but can also come with a range of different of different apps. We all need to have some fun once in a while so a number of games on phones are available for every different age range most games can be played against others so you can always have a fun competition with one of your friends!
Gaming and Entertainment
Games-
Everyone loves gaming, but what fun is it playing by our self. Nowadays most gaming consoles give the users the ability to play against others on that consol. Using innovations such as Play Station network and Xbox live we can go up against our friends (or with them) on our favorite games, many people use this not only to socialise but also to have fun this means even when your friends are not with you you can still have fun with them! Gaming is fun but it also gives you something to talk about, when interesting games are released people compete to get the best items and be the first to complete the game this provides a chance to escape your troubles and indulge in the gaming world and excel at something that counts to your friends!
TeleVision-
A family sitting around the TV is a classic symbol of family life the TV can not only be a time to relax but can also be used to socialise and catch up on the days events. With an interesting movie the whole family can loosen up after a busy day, and and have an enjoyable time together! TV can be also used as a pass time and if you don't have any ideas of what to do with your friends you could always watch something such as a popular experience this way you can share the fun and it also gives you something to talk about. Also you could always go to the cinema with your friends of family, that way you can watch a good movie and then have a nice meal instead of being bored in the house!
Music-
Music is an excellent way to express yourself when around our family and friends we enjoy listening to music so we can comment on favorite parts and whats good and bad many people when at home play music to make their house more lively and enjoyable and also when out with family of friends music is a good way to pass the time, an excellent example of this is at discos where people get together sociallise dance to music and all together have a good time!
