Today I am writing not about the game but about a topic which is of far more importance and needs our immediate attention..
I read a few days ago this article published in Times of India and other internet sites about a research completed in London.
According to this our new generation in which I fall into too is so called facebook generation and is the loneliest group.
Here is the complete article..
"LONDON: Believe it or not, Britain's "Facebook generation" - the 16 to 24-year-olds - are lonelier than any other age group, a survey has revealed.
In the survey, one in three said they were bored with their lives compared to just 8% of pensioners and 28% complained loneliness was making them unhappy and so they are taking to drinking. More than a quarter of the facebook generation revealed they turned to alcohol for comfort, and half admitted to using junk food as an emotional crutch, found the poll into national happiness levels , conducted for BBC Radio 3.
Asked what made them unhappy , 70% of the 16 to 24 year olds said finances topped their list of concerns. More than a third were worried about holding down a job, compared to a quarter of middle-aged respondents. One in three said they were tormented by family or relationship problems , and they were also the age group that were most likely to struggle over their social status. Overall money was the biggest cause of unhappiness across all age groups, above work, relationships and loneliness.
But while older age groups shared the Facebook generation's finance fears, they were more fulfilled in other areas of their lives. Almost a third of youngest generation reported they had relationship problems which dropped to eight per cent among 55 to 64-year-olds , the Daily Mail reported.
And one in three of the Facebook generation said they wanted to move abroad in search of happiness. "

If this is the case with us. Than I think we should go out and help each other to prove this survey wrong. It is pathetic for us people to be ranked among the loneliest group at such an happening phase of our life. This is the part of our life where we live to the fullest.
I dont know how else we can remove our financial problems as mentioned by article, other than by hardwork and smart work which we all have to do on our own.
But I do know that the problem of relationship can be solved by making more friends not only on the social network but also in person. I am myself a regular user of facebook, and I play a lot of games and make a lot of friends, still I go outside mingle with my friends in the city and enjoy with them, share with them my feelings, my time, my happiness, my sorrows. They help me with my difficulties and enjoy with my in my happiness.
I personally feel that all though facebook and other social networking sites are great way of making friends all around the world and one of the fine ways of passing time and releasing some stress, but If this things are causing people to go alcohol than it is not the solution. The ultimate fun in life is about sharing and enjoying with others to the fullest.
You cannot hear laughter of others in social networking sites. You can not physically touch them. You cannot get shoulders to rest your head and forget tensions in these sites. You cannot enjoy and dance and sing and campfire and track and do other stuff in these sites. These things need real friends.
I say playing games sharing view and news are good but not every thing.
Virtual world cannot be enjoyed forever.
I dont want to feel that when I shut down my computer I am left alone.
"There's nothing wrong with social networking, but if it's used instead of face-to-face meetings or phone calls than it can be very isolating," The Daily Mail quoted behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings as saying.
"Real friendships are made through shared experiences and bonds. Some social networking "friends" are barely even acquaintances, without any real meaning or intimacy." (ANI)
I think the above statements are quite correct.
