Second draft

  Today a lot of people use internet. The internet became much familiar, so the internet users are on the increase. People through the internet communicate with social world and friends, search information which you want to know, argue your opinion on the government homepage, more over you can listen music which is recorded yesterday. It is true that we never imagined society like this, before. The internet makes the world become more faster and  more closer with everyone. But didn't you ever think about the defect of internet? The SNS is the key point of internet communication. Especially for young people, the SNS is the best method to communicate with friends. We can updating our recent life on Facebook let our friends know, also can write criticism about government then posting on our own blog to show our interest in politics. These SNS seem to make people more interactive. But actually, SNS makes people LONELY. 
 
  Before start to support my arguments, let's talk about the social networking service. Social networking service, alias SNS, 47% of American adults used social networking sites like Facebook, My Space, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Classmates.com in 2011, up from 26% in 2008.  The SNS do promote interaction with friends and family, Many people connect SNS when they feel boredom or lonely. But although people believe the SNS would dealing with the boredom and loneliness, but they are wrong.

 You will wonder that why the SNS makes people feel loneliness. The SNS's goal is to make the world more interactive and communicational. But contrary, SNS makes people lonely. I have found some evidences to prove my topic. 
 
  First, SNS makes us compare with other person. According to  German researchers Witnessing friends' vacations, love lives and work successes on Facebook can cause envy and trigger feelings of misery and loneliness. When we login SNS, we could see our friends' current life. For example, I want to buy the latest new laptop, but my mother said "No". At that time if I found my friends bought new laptop which I want to buy, then I will feel envious, and then I may blame my mother she don't allow me to buy laptop. Also, let's imagine when we feel lonely and want to make boy/girl friend, but no candidates. At that time you saw your friend became couple. It may make your loneliness become deeper than before. Further more people compare how many birthday greetings they received to those of their Facebook friends and how many "likes" or comments were made on photos and postings.
 This compare is happened in face to face communication too. But I want to say that, we can not chatter with every person in the real-world. So the compared subject is limited. However, the SNS is a wide communicate organization.  As a result, the comparison got from SNS is more than face to face communication, and it tend to make people feel lonely much more.

  Second, People know that through SNS we can communicate with others who live far apart from us .So today, the user of SNS are more than before. As the user of social network service increased, the people who feel lonely are also increased. At the same time however, the SNS addicts are increased, too. These addicted people tend to always surfing the internet, and showing maladaptive behaviors when they in the real-world, they can not blend together with real world's people, just facing at monitor from morning till to night. One study say that Campus-SNS web site addicts tend to be female, young and have used the campus-SNS web sites for relatively a long time and frequently visit the homepages of others. More importantly, loneliness was found to be a significant predictor for the campus-SNS website addiction. 
  
   Third, maybe, for SNS addicts, their SNS friends is real friends, but SNS is a failed "communication". "Communication" means understand each other through speech and gesture. But most SNS can not convey the perfect sense which implicated in text. When we communicate with others in face to face, we can show our expression and voice tone to give sense what I want to say and what I feel. But SNS just show text and a little emoticons. It is absurdly scant amount to convey perfect sense. Says Dr Catriona Morrison, an experimental psychologist at the University of Leeds in England who has studied the link between depression and internet addiction.  "You often don't hear someone's voice and you don't see any body signals, which we know from traditional psychology are important." Like this, when we communicate with others, we have to use our voice(tone, speed, accent) and body(gesture, face expression) together. So SNS is the failed communication. Further more people who feel lonely are more tend to be addicted to SNS. We should cognize that, SNS doesn't resolve our loneliness, but make it more deeper. 
  Opponents may say we can make new friends through SNS to deal with loneliness and boredom. But I can sure that the SNS friend is not a real friend. Friend is not a tool to deal with loneliness or a number to show to other person. also internet friends just can meet in the internet. when we had a talk with SNS friends and turned off the computer, came back to the real world, we will feel loneliness which more deeper than before. We live in real world is not a social network world. Further more, if one person who do not have any friends, and this person want to find some new friends through SNS, but when he form new ID of Facebook, and looked at the mark "FRIEND_0", it will make the loneliness deeper than before. 

  

 
 

 
 

  Fourth, False Information on SNS makes people feel loneliness.  At 2012, the rumor "The earth will collapse in 2012 December 21." was pervaded in the world. This false information confused people and make them tremble with fear. Also these information make people feel disappointment to the society, and even make people to hate this world. 

  The opponents may say many people use SNS to spend boring time. But as one study proved that campus-SNS website addicts tend to be lonely.   Proponents of social networking sites say that the online communities promote increased interaction with friends and family; offer teachers, librarians, and students valuable access to educational support and materials; facilitate social and political change; and disseminate useful information rapidly.

  47% of American adults used social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Classmates.com in 2011, up from 26% in 2008. As the user of social network service increased, the people who feel lonely are also increased. The SNS do promote interaction with friends and family, but at the same time it promote comparison among friends, too. Also it can not named "communication" . because it is failed communication. although we can disseminate useful information rapidly, but on the SNS  also have a lot of false information which confuse people. Many people connect SNS when they feel boredom or lonely. But it is not a good idea to solve loneliness. We have to know that the SNS makes people more lonely. I hope people after read my argument, those lonely person will find something else to treat loneliness, rather than addicted in SNS.
