Is too much of social media ruining childhood?

Sure, I’ll Facebook you,” is what most conversations end with these days.

In just 10 years, Facebook has transitioned from a noun to a verb, and has been accompanied by 1.3 billion people in this journey – roughly the population of India.

Today, monikers like Twitter, YouTube, Vines, Snapchat and the like have become part of speech. To think of kids using these platforms is no big deal either. In fact, it’s surprising if an adult can get past all the features that these networking websites come with.

By being online every few hours a day, have we forgotten how to communicate offline? Invites and announcements are made digitally, even if it’s a weekend plan for a gang of 10.
