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.

The Popularity of Micro-blog In recent years, Micro-blog has been more and more popular. Precisely, Micro-blog has become part of people’s life. It seems that everybody has a Micro-blog now. Many factors contribute to the widespread of Micro-blogging. First, Micro-blog enables people to convey their emotions and individual thoughts more conveniently. Micro-blog has no fixed rules and needn’t professional knowledge and skills, which enables millions of people to have a voice and connect with others. Moreover, people can express their instant feelings at any time and anywhere if they have a phone. Second, Micro-blog can communicate with each other more deeply. By revealing their heartfelt emotions on the Micro-blog, their friends may also know about their conditions and can offer in-time comfort. Third, Micro-blog really provides a platform for ordinary people to display their abilities, and it is a good form for people to share views and to get information.However, Micro-blogging can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people’s privacy and other significant information. It might be used by some people who have ulterior motives to spread rumors or to slander other people. In other hands, being susceptible to others' idea easily,most people tend to lose the ability of thinking independently.In my opinion, Micro-blogging provides us comfort and also inevitably some concerns. We should be careful while using it.微博的流行近年来,微博越来越流行。准确地说,微博已经成为人们生活的一部分。似乎现在每个人都有一个微博。许多因素导致广泛的微博。首先,微博让人们表达他们的情感和个人的思想更加方便。微博没有固定的规则和不需要专业知识和技能,使数以百万计的人们有一个声音和与他人。此外,人们可以表达他们的即时感受任何时间和任何地方,如果他们有一个电话。第二,微博能相互沟通更深入。通过揭示他们发自内心的情绪在微博,他们的朋友可能也知道他们的条件,可以提供及时的安慰。第三,微博真的为普通人提供了一个平台来展示自己的能力,而且它是一个很好的形式供人分享观点和获得信息。然而,微博也可以有潜在危险的,因为它可能会泄露人们的隐私和其他重要信息。它可能被一些别有用心的人散布谣言和诽谤别人。在其他的手,容易受到别人的想法是很容易的,大多数人往往会失去独立思考的能力。在我看来,微博为我们提供了舒适和也不可避免的一些担忧。我们应该小心使用它。
