Are we strangers in our homes living in our bodies while our minds are merged with virtual worlds? Are we communicating with multiple social networking sites between us and around us, so we're in isolation that we've lost the warmth of relationships and our contact with the closest people to us. The toughest thing these sites have left us, despite their positive interactions with parents and friends, has directly affected values, morality and social upbringinging, not to mention that life in a virtual world steals our ages, depresses and worries when we return to our true reality.

The real and bigger danger is the transformation of a large part of the sushial midia into a... «Trends.» Visual advertisements interfere with private life, violation of privacy, the ease of leaking information and data, whether real or discreet, which cause psychological and life damage to its owners and bullying that inflicts children with mental illness, and social media have shifted from a window to the world to a world where people steal from us the most precious time, calm, ability to meditate and capture in a world of news and rumors that control their feelings.

Intervention in private life has become one of the most dangerous phenomena in social media websites, especially as modern communication techniques have evolved, which have facilitated access to private information, as well as programmes for the installation of images that cast doubt on the hearts of others - as in the image of a player and star Muhammad Salah with his daughter - and pushing them to trace this news, reveal their secrets and disrespect privacy, ethical behaviour that undermines trust and disperses human relations in society.

These negatives are no longer individual but a community issue requiring concerted legal, cultural and educational efforts, we want more stringent laws to combat electronic bullying and protect data and personal life.
