Life in the virtual world. Virtual world and communication on the Internet

Along with our world, there is another world in parallel - the Internet. It wages its own wars, has its own virtual currency. People also live on the Internet with their fictitious names - logins and. Everything here is like in real life, only virtually. And as in every life on the Internet, there are relationships between people. The truth is also virtual.

Internet users find their friends here. They meet new people, communicate. It also happens that they start virtual novels. At first glance, it may seem strange that there are some feelings between strangers. Is it really possible to love a person whom you have never seen, heard, never touched?

It turns out that everything is possible in life ... For example, people get to know each other on forums or in in social networks. Discussing a film that has just been released, a person may find that someone else shares his views. With further communication, people soon realize that they have similar views on life.

After a while, communication between people is transferred to chat rooms. Everything is extremely simple here. A chat conversation is similar to a live conversation, with the only difference being that your interlocutor may be at a great distance from you.

If the user cannot find friends and acquaintances on forums and chats, he registers on dating sites. Here, among thousands of people like him, lonely and looking for companionship, you can find a mistress, lover, friend or girlfriend. Also, such services allow you to search for a soul mate according to specified criteria: hair color, eye color, height, and so on...

People who have feelings for each other often use ICQ (Viber, etc.). It allows you to exchange emoticons, send photos. ICQ makes communication between people simple and convenient.

From the outside, it may seem silly to fall in love with a person you do not know, it may seem that a person’s feelings are directed at an imaginary image. And for real feelings is important a real man, not its virtual replacement. After all, our virtual prince in a white Mercedes, with a strand of black hair and blue eyes in reality, it may turn out to be a fourteen-year-old bespectacled man from a neighboring entrance.

The Internet also allows you to experience the pleasure of "virtual love making". At first glance it looks wild, but this is the reality of our life. Many people, due to lack or total absence real "lovemaking", completely surrender to the temptation of virtual relationships.

In the Middle Ages, people sent anonymous letters and notes to each other. Flirting with strangers. Now everything is the same, only the possibilities are different. In the end, after "virtual lovemaking" no one will force you to get married?

By the way, what is the difference between "making love" on the phone from virtual ones? Nothing!

Communication of a person on dating sites can be very useful for a person. After all, if he is closed in himself, unsociable, then in real life he has a lack of communication. Virtual life compensates for this. After some time, a person will transfer his manners of virtual behavior to real life. And instead of yesterday's nerd, we will see a macho who needs only a couple of phrases to drag the girl into bed.

And if a person spends all the time at work? , stays up late. How can he find a life partner? Only the Internet is the way out of this situation. It's so simple, he came to the robot, exchanged a few words with friends, sent a smiley face to his beloved ...

But online dating also comes with risks. New drug addicts began to turn to psychotherapists - people who became Internet addicts. They can no longer go a day without Internet communication.

Flirting in a chat with a man for a while is normal. But if it turns into an obsession...

Sometimes people seem to live on the Internet, the events of the real world cease to interest them. A person's real personality dies, he is completely immersed in the virtual world. It should always be remembered that real life much more interesting virtual. No communication can replace a living person. Progress has gone very far, but people's feelings have never changed their form. A person loves a person, not his virtual image.

Computers until recently were a luxury that few could afford. Now a computer can be, if not all, then quite a few. The Internet has entered our lives in a powerful wave, knocking down the unprepared for the problems that it brought us. Communication, work, acquaintance, leisure and even sex on the Internet have become commonplace. Not many of the users of the World Wide Web now will be able to refuse it. On this basis, the question arises: is virtual life addictive and how dangerous is it for a person?
What is so attractive ordinary people to virtual life? The answer is simple: the failure of a person in real life, the feeling of his uselessness and loneliness. Creating a certain image for himself on the Internet that he would like, but for some reason could not, create in real life, a person experiences satisfaction from communication, games, blogs, sites, etc. He puts on a mask of the person he is not could become in real life. No, of course not all Internet users are like that. Few see the Internet only as a leisure activity and prefer virtual communication, real. Those who, for some reason, cannot, or are not able to "make" themselves in real life, easily do it in the virtual world. After all, for them it is much easier and more convenient. Ugly person, can become handsome, modest, never allowed himself to meet in real life, can become macho, old can become young again. Subsequently, few can get out of the virtual web the way they get used to the image they created, get used to the role, find like-minded people. The Internet gives such people exactly what they want: mutual understanding, communication and even virtual love. Gradually, a person moves away from real life, where, as he believes, there is nothing that he found in virtual life. Troubles at work, in the family, addiction - this is what awaits people who have changed their real life to a virtual one.

The new generation of youth that is growing up is more exposed to the influence of the Internet due to the emergence of numerous Internet games. After all, what child, and often an adult, refuses to play? The number of people playing over the Internet is growing like mushrooms after rain. What are online games designed for? Of course, to receive income from the player, by involving the player's real funds in the game. But how to get a person to invest money in the game? There is no need to force anyone, the person himself will give money for the desire to continue the game he loves. Often these are huge amounts, reaching up to a million rubles! And sometimes investing real money in the game only exacerbates the situation. The player then simply feels sorry for quitting the game because of the funds he invested in it. Sometimes a game captures a person so much that a person does not notice the troubles that arise in him associated with it. Troubles at school, at work, in the family, bad feeling due to constant sleep deprivation. Soon a person will be more like a zombie, constantly sitting near a computer, completely.

It is worth considering, but do you need it? Will you be able to get out of the great web and overcome your virtual addiction? Will you just spend your leisure time with friends or immerse yourself in this world with your head? After all, in every person lives exactly the person you want to be. And the path of acquaintance or friendship, play or love, which is easy at first glance, can later lead you to a dead end, from which no one will help you find a way out. No wonder the world that the Internet gives us is called virtual, because it is not real, but just a decoration. Behind this scenery there is not this, every day a new, world, with its beauty and unexploredness. Or maybe it's worth deleting game accounts, chats, magazines, turn off the computer and just try to see all the beauty and uniqueness of this life? You decide.

In a world of breakthrough high technology The Internet has become public domain. The global information network is now in almost every home, small organizations and large enterprises also dotted with the Internet web. And I won’t be surprised if after 5-10 years without basic knowledge of a PC, a person will not be able to find a job even as an ordinary handyman. It turns out that in order to fill out your questionnaire and pass an interview with an employer, you will have to go through a simple procedure. Come to the recruitment center, equipped with the latest technology and sit in front of the monitor. Then select the desired section on employment, enter your data, answer the proposed questions of an inanimate psychologist and immediately get the result - accepted or not. Many will say: “What is so difficult? A monkey can be taught similar manipulations! And it is much more convenient this way - the availability of personnel is reduced to a minimum, time savings, high accuracy in the selection of workers with the necessary qualities. So there is nothing global. On the contrary, it is very convenient.” I completely agree that it is so much easier and easier. And perhaps I will seem like a hypocrite to you, but the thought does not leave me: “But what about contact? Personal contact with a person? After all, we are not soulless machines, are we?”

The human body is arranged in such a way that for relationships and establishing contact it is not enough just to know its possible abilities. In communication must play leading role sense organs: touch, smell, sight, hearing. Notice that people in real life began to communicate less, more in social networks at computers. In the virtual world, acquaintances take place, cute conversations under the glow of monitors, even meetings and dates are made without leaving home. And no matter how paradoxical it may sound, but people, having never seen each other outside the Internet world, fall in love and after long dates on Skype, make a mutual decision to create a family unit of society. There will be no special changes in their lives: one of them will move their computer to the territory of the second half or they will move together to a rented apartment, taking miracle machines with them. Everything else is unchanged: games, movies, communication on the Internet. All life online or offline.

So what is happening to us? Why is a soulless machine stuffed with boards that can quickly solve problems, showing beautiful pictures and presenting the information we need? Why are you bogged down in the virtual world? But what about us? We are the children of nature, the Universe has created us for direct and close contact. So why do we so easily and selflessly agree to artificial isolation? For example, remember when you last time walked barefoot on the grass or inhaled the air of the spring forest to the full chest and received real pleasure and delight from this? Or, in the end, when just admiring the sunset or the stars in the night sky? I suppose that many will not be able to give a specific and convincing answer to this question. And only for the simple reason that they do not remember it, they forgot, because everything was so long ago. Agree, sad fact?

I do not urge you to abandon the delights that the Internet gives us. After all, it was invented, like the car, the microwave oven, washing machine machine for our comfort and convenience, to save time and resources. This is an integral part of our civilized life, which should not fill our entire temporary space. Every sane person should understand this. And if you wish, just find a couple of hours for yourself to merge with nature and enjoy the beauty of the world around you. Take a walk in the park, go to the river, to the forest. This easy and pleasant walk will fill you with peace, improve your mood and thus save you from negativity, which in turn will increase your efficiency.

Remember, life is short enough to spend most of it in front of monitors. And, compared to eternity, we don’t have much time at all to kill him. And as it was said in famous work L. Carroll "Alice in Wonderland" - "Time does not like it very much when it is killed."

Enjoy real life, it is beautiful, unique, given to us once and, unfortunately, for a very short time. Do not miss the bright moments, because they will never return. Be happy!

Hi all. I usually don't repost articles on my sites. This is an unusual case, because there is no need to change or add anything. I was struck by the author's insight. What is written in this article cannot but be alarming. Since I am a supporter conscious life. And here the side has touched, our future is children. What they will be is our responsibility for this, because children under 16 years of age are deprived of reason, or rather, it is only being formed in them. I am a father myself and would like my children to be aware. While all of this is happening (everything that is written below), we adults do such things and bear for it full responsibility. Read this short article. Yes, if possible, let all your acquaintances, relatives and friends read it.

Currently, there are a large number of people who, without the Internet or “sitting” on the social network and monitoring the comments on their blog post, cannot imagine life. Modern applications in mobile phones only actively contribute to the development of such dependence ...

Moscow narcologists note that the contingent of their patients has now transformed from alcohol/drug addicts to Internet addicts and ranges from 50 to 70% of total number patients, and the register of patients' appointments is scheduled for a year in advance.

Child psychologists are also sounding the alarm. According to the results of the experiment, in which children from 12 to 18 years old participated, only three children out of seventy "survived" to the end.

They were asked to refrain from using all kinds of gadgets, computer, TV, radio, music for 8 hours. At this time, they could occupy themselves with anything: from drawing and collecting puzzles to walking or sleeping.

However, the enthusiasm of the children disappeared immediately at the beginning of the second or third hour. Many observed aggression, fuss of movements, thoughts, speech; fear of loneliness and anxiety. On the physical plane, this was expressed in the form of nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, causeless pain or a feeling of apparent pain throughout the body. Psychologists have compared this to the withdrawal effect.

Many children, without waiting for the end of the experiment, turned on their phones and called their parents, friends, classmates. The rest plunged into the virtual world or turned on loud music.

The two boys who successfully completed the task were gluing various models of sailboats all this time. The third girl occupied herself with needlework with a break for lunch and a walk in the park.

Of course, each person is able to answer the question for himself: whether he is dependent on various kinds of Internet entertainment or not. This article contains only some suggestions for getting out of addiction if a person sees that he or a child has it.

For adults:

Do not limit yourself to gatherings and conversations on social networks or hobbies for computer games. The restriction further activates desire and generates aggression towards oneself: “Why am I such a weak person? I can't do anything."

Only effective remedy in getting rid of Internet addiction: this is a conscious observation of oneself, for example, in moments of virtual communication and an analysis of the value of the exchanged information. Appreciating the importance of this information and the amount of time spent on it is a direct path to getting rid of addiction. A person will simply gradually begin to understand whether he needs such communication, how much he needs it - this will help to freely get out of addiction, without stress for the body and psyche. This does not mean that a person will not use the same social networks. He will simply be free from the illusion of the importance of what is happening in the virtual world.

For children:

Here it is somewhat more complicated, since what was said in a commanding form: “Stop surfing the Internet, it’s time to do your homework!” most often it does not have any power to influence what is happening, but only exacerbates the situation.

Based on the results of the experiment, the ban does not give any results if the children are not explained in an accessible way why this or that is impossible. At the same time, the essence of the experiment was not quite correctly formulated - it was aimed at the abilities and capabilities of the child. They took him “weakly”, without offering any other game in return: “Can you stay for 8 hours without computer games or communication in social networks?” If each child were offered a collective play alternative to the same computer game- he would not even remember about his hardships.

It is also worth considering here: what attracts a child so much in the virtual world? Of course, many will answer: free communication - on the Internet, you can create any image of yourself you want. The motives for difficulty in live communication may be different, but their basis is often the same: the child feels the individuality of his inner world, but does not see how it can be applied in interaction with others. Perhaps he once tried to do this, but his manifestations were rejected or not understood by other children. Therefore, it is easier to go into the world of illusions - there you can create any image of yourself or be yourself, and the choice of interlocutors is much greater, as well as the likelihood of finding like-minded people.

Advice to parents in this situation: watch your child. Maybe, inner world The child just needs to be directed in the right direction. After all, the virtual world is a game. Create another game for the child that would be interesting and useful to him, and perhaps the addiction will disappear by itself. Start with him, for example, to study English language Be your child's friend and life partner.

Psychologists also remind about the healing power of dialogue: the more often parents communicate with children and not just actively nod their heads, but conduct a sincere dialogue with an absolutely mature person on an equal footing, the less understatement and difficulties arise in relationships.

In order for the child to listen to your opinion, psychologists also advise to remove the scheme: owner - property. This happens because almost all parents consider their children to be THEIR - they obviously have an image of a person who is not adapted to anything, in need of constant training and care. Modern parents actively form the child's dependence on them, then suffering from the fact that a person in the future cannot make a decision on his own. However, in reality, today's children are significantly different from the previous generation. high level awareness and the presence of their own point of view regarding what is happening.

For example, if a mother in an imperative form says what the child needs to do, she automatically blocks the freedom of choice for both herself and her child, knowingly believing that her position is the only correct one. At this point, the dialogue disappears as only one person is speaking. At the same time, the mother deprives the child of the opportunity to become a person in the future and be responsible for his own actions, hindering her development with her authority.

Therefore, in this situation, it is preferable to focus on your feelings and emotions, for example: "Masha, I'm watching you spend a lot of time on the Internet - this makes me worried." Do not say anything else - leave room for the child to respond. Perhaps you will hear a reasoned answer in favor of using the Internet in just such a quantity - do not rush to conclusions. You may not get an answer. But if you say this really sincerely, then the child will definitely think about his actions - in fact, any person loves his parents very much, even if there is a cool relationship and he does not want to upset his loved ones. At this moment, in a child, you bring up the skills of awareness of your actions and taking responsibility for your actions.

It is also worth considering that the child does not need to say the same thing all the time - next time only a glance will be enough. It also happens that the results are not immediately visible, but, you see, every person needs time to realize himself in a new perspective. No need to put pressure on a person - be patient, and the result will not be long in coming.

Communication in social networks should not go beyond the limits established by Sharia

Although the communication that takes place in networks is virtual, it must be remembered that one should not go beyond the bounds of decency.

More and more people are choosing virtual communication and replacing reality with it. Social networks create the appearance of communication and friendship, sometimes distracting people from work and even bringing discord into families...

Millions of people are sitting on social networks, looking for their first love, school mates, classmates, army friends, but in fact, they are simply burning their lives. An increasing number of people who have an idea about the computer and the Internet hang on such sites. The social network has absorbed a huge number of communication seekers around the world. The number of participants in virtual communities is growing inexorably every day. According to statistics, almost everyone, from the young to the old, is addicted to social networks and virtual communication.

Probably, for them, virtual communication is, first of all, romance, an opportunity to get away from everyday life into a world that is so different from the real one. And they go into it with their heads, they leave their real friends and even their families. Millions of people on our planet today are lost in the wilds of virtual life. Why is this happening? Why excellent remedy communication, the Internet, is turning into a trap? A monster trap that devours time, strength, emotions?

We are always in a hurry, we are always busy, we work hard. We don't have time for socializing and making friends. But the desire to communicate, the desire to be needed and liked has not disappeared anywhere. How to organize it in real life?

It was in the last century that people went to visit, to the theater, to the cinema. We talked while sitting on a bench in the park. But we are BUSY. This is not our priority.

The Internet has become a substitute for the real world. IN virtual reality everything is much simpler than it really is, it is easier to make new acquaintances, make friends and leave. That is why the social network is so attractive to people who are dissatisfied with their lives and therefore prefer life on the Internet to reality. Many couples fall apart because one of the spouses simply cannot leave social networks. People who spend a lot of time on social networks are disturbed by hormonal balance, the immune system, dementia develops. The Internet is good and bad: someone uses it for needs, and someone - for fun.

You give up real life, trying to replace the present with a non-existent reality. Think, think: what do you get in return? Friends who will not be around at the right time, or meaningless flirting? You need to know the measure in everything: to know how long to sit in Odnoklassniki and how much time to devote to your wife and children. Don't ruin your life by hanging around the nets. Don't destroy your family. Do not break ties with people close to you.

Flirting is not cheating?

Many people manage to find a "soul mate" through the Internet. On dating sites, people get used to easy relationships. We met, immediately discussed all the details, chose a partner that they like. And if something does not suit you, someone made a mistake - they immediately crossed it off the list and forgot about it. Well, what would it seem like: flirted a little, received virtual bouquets and real compliments - is this treason? And then there are two ways of development of events. Option one: a person wants to receive flowers, compliments and much more attention from his real partner in reality (another question is whether the partner wants to change his calm sofa-television state to running around flower stalls). Is a bouquet of flowers and gifts the most important thing in life?

Second option: is flirting on the web a betrayal? The idea is gradually growing in my head that romantic date with a virtual partner in real life - this is also not scary and will only strengthen your marriage in reality. In life, you have to go through many difficulties and barriers, but on the Internet everything is simple. Whoever’s relationship is not going smoothly - they quarreled, quarreled, - one of the spouses is drawn by a magnet to Odnoklassniki. There would be no need to approach a spouse or wife to ask for forgiveness, to apologize, and instead we enjoy the virtual world.

It is also impossible to say that all the people who are on social networks are not doing well. Few men, even happily married, do not want to get confirmation of their attractiveness from "independent sources." Will he really refuse compliments and gifts, even virtual ones? And for single women, widows or with midlife crises, such communication is simply necessary so that the complexes do not develop. And there is nothing wrong if communication in social networks does not go beyond the limits established by Shariah.

Does Islam allow communication that does not go beyond, and what kind of communication is this? What can people who do not know at all talk about with other people's husbands, wives? On the same dating sites there are a lot of men and women who do not even hide that they are married, and at the same time they are looking for a girl or a guy “for a pleasant pastime”. Is this allowed in Islam?

Social networks are a tool that simplifies life and helps to solve certain tasks assigned to a person. But everything should be in moderation, so if this tool does not help, but begins to destroy your personal life, then perhaps you should abandon it. And also to reconsider your views on the current situation, because life is much more interesting and multifaceted. It remains to be hoped that in the near future the classic form of communication will come back into fashion - acquaintance and communication in real life. Although this form of communication is much more complicated than virtual and requires a lot of effort from a person. But when communicating in real life, people will be able to help you the real deal, and not a meaningless message from a stranger on your page.

People living in real world. People who are sad, suffer, rejoice. They love each other and are happy together. And others, those who are lonely, are unhappy and suffer from it. Loneliness is scary and depressing. Alone, without support, a person cannot live. Even if a person has absolutely everything in the material plane, but there is no full-fledged communication, he will always be unhappy. Having got used to communicate in a virtual space, where you can pretend to be strong, courageous, successful, a person feels happy. And if before that he had no friends, decent work, he felt insolvent and rejected, then communication in virtual reality is perceived by him as salvation. At some point, a person forgets that he is only pretending that there is an invented illusory life behind the screen. And this is not life, but only a game. Moreover, the game is quite cruel and completely harmless to the psyche. Virtual life is an illusion, just like the whole virtual world.

Life in the virtual space turns into an addiction. There is a feeling that you are loved, that you are in the thick of things, that life is raging around you. But as soon as the computer turns off, the whole world disappears, and with it, life. That's when a person begins to understand that all life is concentrated for him in a tiny point of a computer screen. And, of course, he does not become happier from this. He remained lonely, useless and uninteresting. Because there is nothing to talk about with him, he is not interesting, he even speaks his own language. And sometimes he does not even notice that he is not understood. He is even more offended by life and people and goes even deeper into his beautiful virtual world, leaving this depth less and less.

That is, today virtual life really takes life. So think about whether virtual passions are worth life and health. Use the real world to expand social contacts. The real world, human life is a constant development, expansion and transformation of reality - both internal and external. In this way, a person becomes perfect. Determine your place and purpose in the real world. Look for real ways to be who you want to be. Avoid simple ways achieve the goal: free cheese - only in a mousetrap. Virtual reality fills the "holes" in life. Live without "patches"! The computer is just a tool to enhance your abilities, not a substitute for a goal.

Everything on the Internet is at your fingertips

Do what you want in real life! Look for friends in reality. virtual world gives only the illusion of belonging to a group and does not develop any real communication skills. Fill your life with positive events, actions. Have your own clear views, beliefs. Avoid deceit and anonymity in virtual reality. Be "here and now", not "there". Learn to control your own time and time at the computer.

Dear brothers and sisters, do not trust strangers online. On the Internet, each person can pretend not to be who he really is. Do not let children use the Internet without your supervision - they can learn a lot of unnecessary and even forbidden things.

When compiling this article, I would like our brothers and sisters to pay attention to the importance of this topic, so that each person concludes that you should not exchange your real life, full of experiences and joyful moments, for life in a virtual world invented by the person himself.

May the Almighty help us not to go beyond the Sharia and follow the path shown to us by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Amine!
