Post-social Web Perception Syndrome

The modern web best characterizes the term “social”. In contrast to the web blogger (web 2004-2006), the social web has attracted more users. It is simpler and more accessible, does not require special mental delights from the user, but only the availability of time that can be killed on the web. Of course, I exaggerate - to kill someone, to someone to work. Someone uses social networks for entertainment and pastime, someone - to be in touch, to be known to their colleagues and other important things for their work.

The social web has its drawbacks - online activity in one way or another puts the user's life on display, making it not personal, but public. We hang our photos on Odnoklassniki, we tell in My circle when we started looking for work, we describe our preferences on VKontakte, in LiveJournal and on Photos. Yandex post photos of ourselves and loved ones and talk about everyday affairs. Now all this can be done even easier on Twitter.

The online activity of the new adept modern web is quite high. People spend a lot of time living an active online life.

However, I’ve seen people change their online behavior more than once. Which I called the post-social syndrome of web perception. It comes when a person is “fed up” with online sociality and curtails it to the necessary minimum. It stops updating LJ, turns off activity in other social networks, in professional, however, this activity remains at the level necessary, as well as the activity of a professional blog. But not more. Excessive activity of online life, tiring and proving its surrogacy, is reduced to "no", more precisely - brought to the desired level.

I do not think that many users suffer from this syndrome. Moreover, I believe that users who are busy on the Internet not only during their free hours, but also during their working hours are subject to it. But not only they, perhaps other people. For example, those who are frustrated with online activity, who are tired of it or who outgrew it - there can be many reasons.

So far, there are not very many cases of the post-social perception syndrome of the web, but there are enough of them to conclude that such a syndrome is present. Have you watched this - at yourself or with your friends?
