Social Networks (Facebook)
Facebook is a social networking website. It was originally created for Harvard students, but has been open for anyone that has an email account. Participants may choose to participate in one or more networks, in relation to their academic status, place of work or geographic region. In February 2007 came to have the largest number of registered users compared to other sites aimed at graduate students, and holds more than 19 million members worldwide (including networks of non-students).
Everyone communicates. Verbally or not, but never stop. Paul Watzlawick in his axioms of communication tell us more precisely that "it is possible not to communicate."
Through communication can also detect what the needs or ways of thinking of the other. If not yawn when I cover my mouth and I feel in the face of my companion a disappointment, even without issuing a word, will understand that such behavior is not approved, at least, by his person. So now up to me and just me, adjust to their reality or ignore its position.
No doubt that the boom time in the cyber world are social networks. Facebook, Twitter, Sonic, Linkedin, for all tastes, sizes and colors. Of course not all users use it for the same purpose, the motivations are varied: professional networking, reuniting with fellow children, virtual friends. But ... what needs we tend to communicate through their applications?, What should the success and timely?, what we are looking for some existential gaps that can not give out?
In a society that neither deaf nor sound the trumpets of war are often heard, any means is valid to assert themselves and listen. No need to go far to observe the large demand for psychological help that exists today. Psychiatrists, psychologists, educational psychologists, counselors, everything is valid to be heard. The individual is able to pay a query only for another to listen, without trial or issue, or view, simply "rent" your ears for a few minutes. Perhaps the self-centeredness has the word, and no longer have either the time for another that is next to us daily. In another he swore "eternal love."
Technology advances, devices become smaller and more buttons and features that may make us forget its true purpose: to communicate. More press than ever, more than ever ... descomunicados
"What are you thinking?" Encourages us to write a text box. A magic box that turns into a place where we can express ourselves while waiting for a response from the outside, a reflection or contribution on a state of mind. Whether a "get well", "I love you", "What happened in your work? But for the same purpose: that the words they are not blow away. Leaving a mark perhaps it is often ignored when it is heard in reality. That is a record of feeling or thinking. A guarantee.
The written text is thought many times not only for the very purpose of putting it to see what their views are known or "friends." "Am I funny?", "Appreciate me more if they learn that I am a volunteer in a nursing home?", "If I become a fan of Freud will say that I am the best psychologist in the continent?".
You are granted a "special power" the user to catalog article or link if that is interesting or "likes." A means that, at last, gives value to his opinion. Only he can decide if it has stopped "liking" that information.
It becomes very painful not to be heard. Be ignored, undifferentiated. William James is more accurate to exclaim that: "No punishment could be devised a monstrous, even if it was physically possible to drop an individual in a society and have passed completely unnoticed by its members."
Not to mention applications like such a famous and popular saying: "What do your friends think of you?". We are conditioned to act on stalkers and Persecuted eyes of our loved ones. There is a need to reaffirm that the other's existence. I accept at any price. So much so that sometimes come to make unthinkable actuated. And all to be part, to belong ...
Usually seen tens and hundreds of "friends" added. Requests for "friendship" to gush. "Friends," a word that today is said almost without thinking that this implies. And all "win" this relationship for only one time that we asked our neighbor to the time or the weather forecast (and is reflected in the day where the first friend that we wanted, we salute you as if had known all his life).
In some cases, so the need for "friends" who are competing to see who brings more. More of what, I wonder. Shortly much, much of anything ...

Social networks like MySpace, FaceBook and chat, etc are causing today, even very serious crisis. (Summary of an extensive report)
For more than you want to cover up or hide the item, the complaints today, and add thousands.
I could give many examples that do not reach hundreds of pages detailing, complaints of people affected by the rampant use and fanatical about women who "give away" hours and hours in front of your PC monitor.
By way of example will place the most common complaints, but words more or less reflect almost the same reality experienced by many, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, etc.. The complaints and fights are very similar to each other and are always the same.
"Since I entered a computer in my house, my family is a mess, everything is done, quick and hurried; All day my wife and daughter in the damn chat .- Marcelo de Lomas.
2-Note that my wife, it becomes uncomfortable and nervous when I get behind her, when in the facebock and quickly becomes the Boluda and turn off the PC. - Fernando de Belgrano.
3-Since my girlfriend is all day in the facebock, ours died, we just have sex and talk from time to time, always stuck to the stupid monitor hooked. - Leandro.
4-I could tell my partner that I will hang with a wire, but if you are connected to the Internet, just tell me. - Well ... then we see. It gives me no ball, I always answer the pass. - Julio de San Telmo.
5-I discovered that my wife when I fall asleep, turn on the computer and connects to almost dawn, I feel like a true cuckold and burst of anger - Leonardo de San Nicolás
And so, we could perform the illustrated manual of complaints and fights, I decided to, talk about it with two psychologists, I said that, because they have and spare, the boys in their complaints and reproaches.
The critical and unresolved issue, is that these social networks are handled in a very personal and private and a party generally does not participate and always left out. (Abstract of talk).
And, given for all types of lawsuits from partners or family, today joined thousands of fights, complaints, suspicions of all kinds, justified or not. (But that's another story).
And with a knowing smile, a doctor told me ... and I have no doubt that this gave rise to a new cyber-form of "cheating and infidelity" almost perfect I would say, you saw that ... nor cell requires ...
Well, the issue was over, the last opinion as always is to you - thanks

You are quite right in what you point out, obviously we need to make that the subject does not distinguish sex and also occurs in men. Although to be honest, is a form of 'effective' of infidelity for those that did not dare or not?
