What is the social in social media?

What if social media websites like Facebook take over our face-to-face communications, what will happen to our friendship, is it going to be on Facebook? Is it going to fade out and we no longer are able to communicate face to face? Well ­no one knows what happens. 

According to Albert Benschop“If people define networks as real, they are real in their consequences.” For Benschop, the Internet is not some “second-hand world.” The same could be said of the social. There is no second life, with different social rules and conventions. 
Basically, the online world is not like the real world; it is not the place we can communicate we whoever we want, or if we want, we wont.
However, every conversation we make on Facebook as communication with others is much simpler and faster but it still does not replace the face-to-face conversations.   

Social media websites has become an important issue to millions of people life, each person in any age have a Facebook or twitter, and people are connected to each other from commenting posting on each other’s wall so this has become a new life for them. Most of them cannot resist to not having a page for themselves.
This is how social life will work, people post the stuff make it creative, mixed up, others share it with their friends their friends also share them, people comment on them, it goes on and on the data goes around the social network websites so rapidly. The way programmers do it and the way we all live in this social net work virtual world.
