**//CHILD NAMED AFTER FACEBOOK'S "LIKE" - Maya May 22 2011 - INVESTIGATION -//**

In Israel, Lior Adler and his wife Vardit, who live in the town Hod Hasharon, decided to name their child Like after Facebook's feature. They say they use facebook and like it though they are not addicted and they don't use it in excess, though some people say that they have an obssesion. The most common names in Israel are Noa, Maya and Tamar, but Like's parents wanted something original and fun. They named their first child Pie (after the food), their second Vash (honey in hebrew) and now their third child Like. Lior Adler said "When I posted her picture and name on Facebook I got 40 'likes',".

//** Separating us from the family all day long - **// **Maya Wallis - Laura S.C - 10 May 2011 - INVESTIGATION - EL PAIS**

Something about social networks is that they separate us from the people near us and it puts us closer to the people that are far apart, specially if using a smart phone which makes it easier to be online, on a social network everywhere at any time. The age group which appears to have more addicted people are teenagers. A lot of people assist to family reunions and go to restaurants with ther family or just go out with their friends but because of smart phones people are able to stay connected even then, so even if they go they are not really there. Also being connected constantly is not the only way to separate us from the outside life or being addicted. You can also be costantly thinking about the social network and be checking it every 5 or 10 minutes


 * TOTAL ADDICTION - Maya - 10 Mayo 2011 - INVESTIGATION **

Information from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8436831/Student-addiction-to-technology-similar-to-drug-cravings-study-finds.html

This web page says how people and students from the age of 15 to 23 get totally addicted to social networks and smart phone until they cant live without it. Scientists say that it is the same as a drug and the students agree. They have been trying to to do experiments with them to see how long they last and only 21 people out of 150 could leave their addiction and were happy about it. Its also said that being addicted to social networks can cause health problems such as tendinitis, back ache, eye problems, etc. Also a lot of them went really thin and some even anorexic. All of them knew their addiction could cause frustration but not psychological effects like to be lonely, panicked, anxiety and heart palpitations. The web site also included many quotes that the addicted people said which I found very interesting.

Hope you find the web site interesting too.

A POWER POINT PRESENTATION- VERA = < this is a Power Point Presentation made by me, it's important to take into account that everyday people that are addicted to the internet, become more strong to this, and they lose their relationship with their family and outside life, so we need to take action and try to stop this situation, for example, we can do some activities to show younger kids that there are also games without using internet! What do you think? = =

"WHAT IS IT LIKE?" - Maya - Prior Knowledge - 6 May =

I think there are different levels spending too much time on social networks. When it just about passes normality, but you still go to places when you are invited. Then there's when you start to like being in social networks more than with people. After that is when you start not going to places where you are invited because you are on a social network and then there is ADDICTION, like you CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THEM. I think an acceptable amount of time is (more than this is not right)
