There was a time when children use to play physically, they used to go to playgrounds nd played with his/her friends. But today the scenario has changed. Today children are more into social network or PC games than playing physically. So, they are more into a virtual world than the real world.

Today's teenagers spend more time in chatting with strangers over social network than chatting with their relatives. And this is not only limited to only children and teenagers, even some adults are too getting addicted towards social network. This has effected drastically over their mental health. Students are scoring less because of lack of motivation that is caused by excessive use of social network.

Even suites have found that social network addiction affects the genes and weakens the immune and hormone level. So, its the time for people to think whether they want to live in a virtual world full of virtual friends (most of the friends in social network are strangers) or they will choose to live in the real society.

Now a days social media plays a pivotal role in our real life. Simply if my brother lives in London and me in India but me and my brothers communicate through live chat its possible through social media. Social media is a platform in which you can put your thoughts and someone give feedback on other side bad use of social media is very irritating.

Social Networking is one of the best way to connect to people virtually. In Contraction it is also one of the best way to lead away from personal development of people. People can learn new thing from the social network, meet new people, develop, but the reality his how much you go advanced virtually.

If you can't personally make your development with the people when you really meet them and when you need to speak in public. Then all the work and learning virtually online goes in vain. So social networks an add-on to your development, don't make it your complete path of your future.

Social networking has positive and negative impacts in youth. You can be updated with what is happening around the world, stay connected and interact with one another, strengthens your relationship with one another, update one another and create groups and pages based on your common discipline which ends up in building connection and opportunities for your respective career by updating various topics to discuss.

However, social networking can create social isolation, encourage poor spelling and grammar, expose underage to online predators, allow spread of information that is perceived as a fact, decrease your productivity, provide a perfect platform for cyber bullying and provide details that increase risks of identity theft.

Hi I'm Bhoomesh,

Social network is one of the best feature in the world. It can contains positives and negatives based on which way we are using. Now a days all are addicting to social networks but, some people using in proper way and other people using wrong way. In proper way we are saving our time on online shopping and connecting with friends and relatives. To disclose the an incident of any place and anywhere in the world. We can chat or video calling using apps like skype and viber etc.

Another way to the people are using to time consuming every day they are waste of time and chatting with fake friends. In these days number of sites are launching some are useful but not all. The key role to addict youth on social network is smart phones. So we conclude that using social network is depending on us to select way.

Social network is one of the best communicating system in this evergreen world. For example through Facebook, twitter, linked in etc, a business person can promote ones business, an actor or producer can promote his film and many more. In earlier days it was difficult to connect with friends, relatives and the other people who lived in far place like abroad.

But now a days we can contact, talk, live video conferencing, share in a second through Facebook, twitter and Skype. So this are some pros and benefits related to social network. However, there are also some cons to this sites like now a days majority of children and youth people are keeping them busy with this social sites which could lead to addiction and waste of their valuable time.

From my point of view one should take this to learn new things, to know recent news, to know what is going on around the world etc, one should not used for chatting only, its a bad habit.

Hello friends,

Social Media is surely a boon. Its an platform to build a network of a like-minded people, expression of new ideas, analysis of present need and surely is one of the sources of bringing new inventions.

When it comes to influence, let social media influence you in a Right way, else it would be like a SWEET KNIFE, which means we might be victim of some fraud company providing a bumper prize of some lacs of Rupees and happily provide them whatever they want.

Surely Online selling portals quote us the best price and we are are always a winner without 'Bargaining', this term might sound cheap to some but friends bargaining is a Right of a Consumer and each youth of our time has learnt this ART in Mumbai's Fashion Street or Linking street or any such markets, but upcoming net savvy youth would never learn this Art.

To conclude Social media is a platform to share your views which can influence many and at the same time be smart enough to let the Right views of others to influence you.

Thank you.

Hi friends,

In my point of view social network is a basic tool in our society. But we can use most of the purposes for creating fake account and embarrassing the others and cause trouble for someone's. But social networking is useful for both bad and good things. And my suggestion is social networking should be used for good purposes only not for bad things.

Social media is a great way to touch in friends. People who lives in other countries can chat or talk to his/her friends over social networking sites. There are also some cons but it depends on us how we are using it because only we can decide whether it is good or bad for generation.
