Today's teenagers are losing face-to-face interaction and social abilities

Social networks are becoming very important among teenagers. Consequently, face-to-face interaction is being lost. Personally, I think that this situation can be succesful if we keep face-to-face relationships.

Firstly, social networks are becoming important in order to improve teenagers' social life. Nowadays you can talk, share photos or coment others' whenever you want (these improvements are amazing). Nevertheless, we shouldn't leave out direct relations, networks should complement them when we aren't face-to-face. We ought to continue meeting each other due to our human condition. If we only talk with our friends using new tecnologies, we will become machines. Moreover, going out with friends is healthy for our mind. Therefore, despite networks' facilities, we shouldn't be lazy and enjoy the direct contact with other people using social abilities.

To sum up, we are able to use Internet tecnologies in order to improve our relations. However, face-to-face meetings are our naturally social relations, so we shouldn't lose them.
