In the near future, virtual reality can replace real communication.
California scientists from the Institute in San Diego reported on the relationship between social network activity and duration of human life.
After analyzing the activity of more than 12 million users in the network Facebook, the scientists compared their profiles with the data of redcartoon of the Department of health. As a result of this study, the experts came to the conclusion that those users who are actively visiting Facebook, show the lowest mortality rates. In addition, the best results are observed in those people who received invitations for friendship from other users.
Cases when the page owner himself, sent a friend request, life expectancy had no effect. Scientists believe that virtual communication can be a good alternative, but only in cases if it does not pass reasonable limits.
At the moment it is too early to speak about 100% of the benefits of social networking to extend the life, since it is possible the reverse side of this situation: more healthy people are socially active, not only in real life, but in the network.
