Whatsapp - Twitter - Facebook. Three made-up derived words which define the connectivity of a billion idiots. Who could have thought Facebook would create a generation of addicts? Who could have seen a messenger captivating people to such an extent that they lose track of time and remain glued to the app. Who could have imagined a whole new different meaning to tweet?

Social networking sites are means of “Ethical Stalking”. For instance go to Zuck’s (I just love him) brainchild Facebook, visit the profile of your crush wishing she was with you, read her statuses and keep a track of her life. People join a social networking site not for themselves but to keep track about the whereabouts and juicy happenings in others’ lives. Along with single and committed, there should be another option. Relationship status -  enlarging your dp (Ok, Display Picture).

Smart Phones and Dumb people is like an inviolable combination, an infrangible bond which aptly defines urban India. If you do not have Whatsapp it attracts a hell lot of scorn. Very soon the criteria for below poverty line will be YOU DO NOT HAVE W-T-F on your phone. Ha! A phone without Whatsapp is a dead phone actually. It’s like a library without books. Seems plausible na?

The popular micro-blogging site Twitter is a hazardous drug and keeps you hooked courtesy - the follower count and random chatting, playful flirting with strangers without the barricade of a Friend Request as in Facebook. Tweet about your daily happenings to people who rarely care about you is the new fad. Some smart word-players, some pensive philosophers and some are good with the pencil and some really brilliant with the camera. Twitter has it all, enough to keep you on meandering on the TL (TimeLine for those oblivious to the twictionary). We are all vagabonds on social networking sites jumping from one profile to the other. “Twitter Celebs”, cute dp’s and mirthful hashtags keep you even more attached.

Coming back to Mark’s baby, troll images and memes took Facebook by storm a few months and still this ferocious hurricane has not calmed. Right from football trolls to cricket memes to making a mockery out of musicians and politicians, every possible phenomenon was ridiculed. And just when you thought stupidity had reached its zenith, came the duma** CONFESSIONS. Suddenly Facebook was a crossbreed between a church and the court of law. And again when you thought that NOW it’s reached its peak, people started proclaiming their love online. Facebook was a matrimonial site. Shaadi.com is now closed until further notice!

If we lose connectivity to Facebook, Twitter or Whatsapp, we get all fretful. This antsy feeling is like that of a junkie who loses access to his dope. I won’t be startled with amazement if there is a Facebook Rehab and the making already in the States. Using your phone just for calling and texting is like using private browsing for checking out only photos. WTF is here to stay and it is difficult to imagine a life without these building blocks. It’s a vicious circle. You need the App; then the App needs you and it repeats, till you are screwed.
