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.
翻译：
近年来，facebook、QQ、微博等社交媒体的引入，改变了人们交友、保持联系的手段。尤其是在年轻一代中，这种社交网络已经获得了巨大的普及，几乎每个人都在同龄人的压力下注册，以避免被贴上“过时”或“不酷”的标签。
尽管老一辈人持有偏见，这肯定是因为他们发现技术更新太快，他们无法适应，但社交媒体逐渐被主流社会接受，因为其不断增长的股价是其繁荣的一个明显指标。
社交媒体的力量是无可争议的，通过它你可以拥有各种各样的交流工具。
例如，你可以随时查看你最好的朋友的在线活动，你可以展示你的花哨照片，期待陌生人的赞美，你甚至可以找到一个你已经失去联系很久的老朋友的资料。根据许多社交媒体狂热分子的说法，在未来的某一天，在虚拟世界中进行接触将完全取代任何物理形式的交流，并成为正统。
虽然我个人观点不一样，但它确实证明了自全球网络发明以来，世界发生了多大的变化。
社交媒体成瘾，尽量不要把它当作禁忌话题，是另一个与社交媒体泛滥密切相关的令人不安的状况。许多青少年或年轻人不顾自己，几乎每分钟都会查看手机上的QQ或微博信息，这种痴迷会分散他们对工作和学习的注意力，降低他们的生产力，如果不治疗，会对他们的生活产生深远的影响。
社交媒体作为一个新的、尚未充分探索的学科，无疑吸引了许多公众的好奇和关注。我相信谨慎行事，充分利用它的便利性，同时尽可能避免陷入困扰，符合我们的最佳利益。
