Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст «Social media networks are changing our way of having relationships» по ссылке: http://www.english-online.at/news-articles/living/social-media-networks-are-changing-relationships.htm

Communication technology is invading our life more than ever before. Mobile phones are never farther than a reach of our hands away. Emails, social networks, the internet are more present than ever before. More than 60% of all internet users also communicate via social networks and over 85 % of all teenagers have accounts on social networks.

Psychologists have started to define terms like Facebook addiction in their reports. Social media sites can be so addicting that people, especially youngsters, do not want to spend time with anything else, they live their relationships in a virtual world.

People often choose to talk to each other via mobile phone, Skype or communicate via Facebook because they may be afraid of getting to know each other, face to face. However, by doing this, they are missing out on their partner’s facial expressions or the gestures that the other makes. Emotions are reduced to Likes or Dislikes, smiley faces or other emoticons.

Psychology experts have also noticed that more and more marriages are breaking up. One of the reasons may be because Facebook makes it possible to communicate with old friends from high-school or former boy or girl friends that you have not had contact with in ages.

Couples are not communicating with each other as they should in real life.  They sometimes even break up over Facebook and other social networks. Frequently, they do not argue about things in the usual way, they tend to carry out quarrels in public. As a result, others comment about something that should be solved privately. They don’t share with each other, they share with everyone,

It is strange to consider the fact that software developers and social network creators are , in real life, not really very social. Most of them are shy people who like to stick to their computers and do not create lasting friendships.

Facebook has defined privacy in a new way.  Many things that should be private have become public. Social media has changed the world. It has helped uprisings in Arab countries and overthrown governments.  Facebook, Twitter and others are omnipresent. They are the last things we worry about when we go to bed and the first thinks we check on when we get up.

In the future more social networks may pop up. We may be able to not only share photos with others but also our shopping lists or illnesses. More and more sites on the web are telling people to share. The more followers and friends we have the more excited we get.

Коммуникационные технологии проникли в нашу жизнь больше, чем когда-либо прежде. Мобильные телефоны всегда находятся на расстоянии досягаемости наших рук. Электронная почта, социальные сети, Интернет стали более доступными, чем когда-либо прежде. Более 60% всех пользователей Интернета также общаются через социальные сети, и более 85% всех подростков имеют учетные записи в социальных сетях.

Психологи начали определять в своих отчетах такие термины, как зависимость от Facebook. Сайты социальных сетей могут вызывать такую ​​зависимость, что люди, особенно молодежь, не хотят проводить время ни с чем другим, они живут своими отношениями в виртуальном мире. Люди часто предпочитают разговаривать друг с другом по мобильному телефону, Skype или общаться через Facebook, потому что они могут бояться познакомиться друг с другом лицом к лицу. Однако, поступая так, они упускают мимику своего партнера или жесты, которые делает другой. Эмоции сводятся к лайкам или антипатиям, смайликам или другим смайликам.

Психологи также заметили, что браки распадаются все больше и больше. Одна из причин может заключаться в том, что Facebook позволяет общаться со старыми друзьями из средней школы или бывшими друзьями-юношами или девушками, с которыми вы давно не общались.

Пары не общаются друг с другом так, как должны в реальной жизни. Иногда они даже расходятся из-за Facebook и других социальных сетей. Часто они не спорят о вещах обычным образом, склонны к публичным ссорам. В результате другие комментируют то, что следует решать в частном порядке. Они не делятся друг с другом, они делятся со всеми,

Странно учитывать тот факт, что разработчики программного обеспечения и создатели социальных сетей в реальной жизни не очень общительны. Большинство из них — застенчивые люди, которые любят сидеть за компьютером и не заводят хороших друзей.

Facebook по-новому определил конфиденциальность. Многие вещи, которые должны были быть частными, стали общедоступными. Социальные сети изменили мир. Он помогал восстаниям в арабских странах и свергал правительства. Facebook, Twitter и другие вездесущи. Это последнее, о чем мы беспокоимся, когда ложимся спать, и первое, о чем мы думаем, когда встаем.

В будущем может появиться больше социальных сетей. Мы можем не только делиться фотографиями с другими, но и нашими списками покупок или заболеваниями. Все больше и больше сайтов в сети призывают людей делиться. Чем больше у нас подписчиков и друзей, тем больше мы воодушевляемся.
