Social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook, that have become a way of life for so many celebrities and their fans, are the objects of scorn for actress Keira Knightley.

Keira believes the Internet is preventing people from communicating effectively with one another.

“I hate the internet,” the 24-year-old star says. “I find it dehumanizing to constantly check emails or social sites which have become so fashionable.”

“I’m not a celebrity,” Keira added. “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. Mum and dad wouldn’t like that.”
