3. • The social web represents;
•a fundamental change in how we use the Internet. Instead of
using it as a tool to look up information or purchase merchandise
online, we are inserting ourselves into the web and using it to
connect with other people. People no longer know how to
socialize face to face because everything is now done through
the computer screen. Interaction with others on the internet is
much easier than in real life and is always just a click away.
4. The new technology today
makes life much easier but
has a very negative impact
on the way we think and
affects our ability to develop
new knowledge. Even
though the computer comes
along with many great
attributes, its technology
makes it very difficult to
concentrate when it comes to
school work or being able to
interact socially. The
advanced technology has
both negative and positive
effects on our every day
lives.
5. SOCIAL WEB GUIDE
The term Web 2.0 was coined in 2004. At its most basic level,
Web 2.0 allows those who visit Web pages to leave their own
content for others to view. Another way to look it is that Web
1.0 was read–only, while Web 2.0 is read–write.
We define social network sites as web-based services that allow
individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile
within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with
whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their
list of connections and those made by others within the system.
The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary
from site to site.
Social News act as popular directories for stories and
articles relating to many topics. If you’re running a blog
or similar type of content this way of marketing can
greatly benefit both you and your readers. Especially if
your site is new to launch and desperate for unique
signup registrations.

10. We all enjoy the benefits of the Internet, and for many of us it is also an
indispensable tool for work, education, and communication. While time spent on
the Internet can be hugely productive, for some people compulsive Internet use
can interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. Internet Addiction,
otherwise known as computer addiction, online addiction, or internet addiction
disorder (IAD), covers a variety of impulse-control problems, including:
Cybersex Addiction – compulsive use of Internet pornography, adult chat rooms,
or adult fantasy role-play sites impacting negatively on real-life intimate
relationships.
Cyber-Relationship Addiction – addiction to social networking, chat rooms, and
messaging to the point where virtual, online friends become more important than
real-life relationships with family and friends.
Net Compulsions – such as compulsive online gaming, gambling, stock trading,
or compulsive use of online auction sites such as eBay, often resulting in financial
and job-related problems.
Information Overload – compulsive web surfing or database searching, leading
to lower work productivity and less social interaction with family and friends.
Computer Addiction – obsessive playing of off-line computer games, such as
Solitaire or Minesweeper, or obsessive computer programming.
