Actress Keira Knightley has vowed that she will never sign up on popular websites like Facebook or Twitter because she has this feeling that such social networking sites are “dehumanizing” users.
Keira Knightley, the star of such blockbusters like ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ feel she will not like to follow of the footsteps of famous celebrity bloggers like Britney Spears who have seen their popularity grow many folds after they got a step closer to their fans through the internet.
She says, “I hate the internet. I find it dehumanizing to constantly check emails or social sites that have become so fashionable. I’m not a celebrity. I don’t go home or out with friends saying, ‘I’m a celebrity’ and I don’t ask to be treated like a queen. Mom and dad wouldn’t like that.”
Keira Knightley must accept the fact that the Internet is a great way to promote yourself by having your own websites and blogging about the rubbish things you do in your personal life and that’s what people want. If you are not willing to do that then you are smart. Also the net does not dehumanize people; people do.

So youre saying people are dehumanizing the net? or people are dehumanizing other people through the net?
Either way, the net is directly or indirectly involved in dehumanizing people. : )
