Networking -mediahype,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have tried to make a reality-check.
In Norway : (5 million inhabitants)
350 people are killed in auto accidents each year.
12000 accidents involvinge severe bodily damage.
2 mill. drivers
Not one single article about the dangers of driving.
2 teenagers have been molested as a result of networking
Netbullying: This does exist - but is not common.
3 mill. internet users .
Over 1200 articles in newspapers about the dangers of social networking.
Now - where's the logic here ? There is none.
If I should make a comparison :
18000 alcohol-related deaths (and a great number of destroyed families!)
And NO warning on the bottles - alcohol is accepted.
5000 smoking-related deaths every year - many of these : are folks that die at the age of 80 instead of 83)
Still every pack of sigarettes are provided with pictures,warnings, - and smoking is socially not accepted.
Media attack what :
they do not use\have no need of.
Sadly - Media is setting the agenda .
ps. I am not saying - stop driving or start smoking !
I am just trying to see this from a different angle
