Tired of Social Networking?

I opened the local newspaper Thursday and found an aritcle I found interesting and understandable.
Associated Press writer Martha Irvine's article "Tired of Social Networking?" talks about how people have started to shy away from websites like myspace, facebook and twitter.
One quote in the article by a man from Washington, D.C stood out to me when he said, "I'm less concerned with protecting my privacy, and more concerned at the ethics of a 'human zoo' where other's lives, and often serious problems, are treated as entertainment."
I think this quote is interesting in that isn't that the main focus of websites like these, took keep your "friends" updated on what's going on in your life? I can see his point though in that websites like facebook have turned into a human zoo where everyone can see what your doing on the website at all times. It would be easy to what I would call "cyber stalk" someone once they added you to their friends list. You can see who they are talking to, what they commented and basically track all their activity.
In a PEW survey they found that 7 percent of people of a medium age of 29 are constantly connected by using mobile devices but feel conflicted about always being so connected. The reseach called these people Ambivalent Networkers.
This is the perfect reason for becoming tired of social networking. Being connected 24/7, 365 days a year causes an overload to occur.
I think we all feel the stress of media overload especially if we are using the websites just to keep up with what everyone else is doing. I think we should all vow one day not to use our social networking accounts or to just turn off our phones. It'll allow us more time to be connected to the people standing right next to us and to just "get away" for a little while.
