In recent years, the introduction of social media such as facebook, QQ and microblog has changed the means through which people make friends and keep contact.?
Especially amongst the younger generation, such social network has gained enormously popularity that literally everyone are under peer pressure to register to avoid being labelled as "old-fashioned" or "uncool".?
In spite of the prejudice held by the older generation, which surely is because they find technology is updated too fast for them to adapt to, the social media is gradually accepted by the main stream society as its ever-growing stock price is an apparent index of its prosperity.
The strength of social media is undisputable through which you will have all sorts of communication tools at your disposal.?
For example, you can view your best friend's online activities whenever you want, you can showcase your fancy photos and expect compliments from total strangers, you can even find the profile of an old friend whom you have lost contact with for a long time.?
According to many social media fanatics' claim, one day in the future making contact in the virtual world will completely replace any physical form of communication and become the orthodoxy. Though I hold a different view personally, it does prove how much the world has changed since the invention of global network.
Social media addiction, try not to treat it as a taboo subject, is another disturbing condition closely associated with the proliferation of social media.?
Many adolescents or young adults check their cellphone for QQ or WEIBO messages literally every minute in spite of themselves, ?this obsession distract them from their work and study, lowers their productivity and if untreated, can have profound impact on their life.
Social media, as a new and not yet full explored subject, has certainly attracted many public curiosity and attention. I believe it is in our best interest to tread carefully, take full advantage of its convenience while avoid getting into obsession whenever possible.

近年來，facebook、QQ、微博等社交媒體的引入，改變了人們交友、保持聯系的手段。尤其是在年輕壹代中，這種社交網絡已經獲得了巨大的普及，幾乎每個人都在同齡人的壓力下註冊，以避免被貼上“過時”或“不酷”的標簽。
盡管老壹輩人持有偏見，這肯定是因為他們發現技術更新太快，他們無法適應，但社交媒體逐漸被主流社會接受，因為其不斷增長的股價是其繁榮的壹個明顯指標。
社交媒體的力量是無可爭議的，通過它妳可以擁有各種各樣的交流工具。
例如，妳可以隨時查看妳最好的朋友的在線活動，妳可以展示妳的花哨照片，期待陌生人的贊美，妳甚至可以找到壹個妳已經失去聯系很久的老朋友的資料。根據許多社交媒體狂熱分子的說法，在未來的某壹天，在虛擬世界中進行接觸將完全取代任何物理形式的交流，並成為正統。
雖然我個人觀點不壹樣，但它確實證明了自全球網絡發明以來，世界發生了多大的變化。
社交媒體成癮，盡量不要把它當作禁忌話題，是另壹個與社交媒體泛濫密切相關的令人不安的狀況。許多青少年或年輕人不顧自己，幾乎每分鐘都會查看手機上的QQ或微博信息，這種癡迷會分散他們對工作和學習的註意力，降低他們的生產力，如果不治療，會對他們的生活產生深遠的影響。?
社交媒體作為壹個新的、尚未充分探索的學科，無疑吸引了許多公眾的好奇和關註。我相信謹慎行事，充分利用它的便利性，同時盡可能避免陷入困擾，符合我們的最佳利益。?
