What is sociality?

Human beings, like all members of the animal kingdom have instincts, before the development of reasoning, among which is the gregariousness, which is the need to partner, ie interacting with their peers.

That gregariousness has also transcended the realm of reason, because of the achievements made human beings in groups, forming families, clans, gens, tribe, etc. to highly complex societies, in which factors such as the division of labor have been the key to achieving social progress, cultural and scientific.

Consequently, sociability in man gives instinctive and rational manner to achieve the objectives, share ideas, feelings, etc..

Being social by nature, we can not rule that feeling as primitive in us or in social networks that cause such a stir today.

What have we won and  lost?

We have gained communication and interaction with friends, family, people who have the same interests and sufferings which we, musical tastes and social interests but at what cost?

As our relations person to person?

How is the family living? or the people around us?.

I've noticed that sociality despite all comes down to being in front of an electronic device to coexist with those of more, I've seen 4 people in a vehicle and each with a device be it a smarthphone, tablet, lap top , etc and none of them are communicating with each other, living together in one home with each family member a separate room and everyone attending their social life without either live with a member of the same family, it is true that situations have changed, it is true that our way of comunicarrnos must be getting better, it is true that we have to provide communications satisfactions of speed, clear image, our smarthphone must meet certain strict rules that allow us to be communicated be connected the web 24 hours a day and allow us to take photos and high quality video besides having facebook, twitter, watsapp forgetting the main use of the phone that is talk.

I'm not saying this tecnology is bad, on the contrary, those of us phone users 2 glasses joined by a thread and we see change everyday new technologies perceive this change in sociality is necessary and that it is part of our lives but I think as a society must establish rules of conduct online without forgetting the manners of coexistence person to person.

In this reading were analyzed social software sometimes not so technical but social impact, I think it is a brutal hit and an extension of our outward pesonal how people socialize with groups like clans or tribes virtual the same problems, likes and hobbies, which also can be attacked or benefited by the member of the same tribe.

I think those who have developed this type of social software basing were spot on in this great principle of human condition and have been able to capitalize.

Now to conclude this brief reading just want to emphasize that in this digital world surrounded frequencies and telecommunications and high technology, our primary interest is social as we are perceived by others and as we perceive them.
