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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

It's medium of delivering messages and contacts. In old time we used to wait for month to get a letter written by our some relatives. But now time has changed people have become very active and well updated with latest technology. It all can be done in seconds of time.

Social Impact: Now a days if you want to know that what percentage of people of a particular country or state are connected to each other, Social media can help you a lot. It plays an important role to connecting like minded people, increasing social awareness, give you power to express your opinion by sitting at your room and with family. Now People are using it to find his life partner, new friends, old classmates etc. On the basis of latest data Aug 2015 provided by India/we are social, there are 350 million internet users are in India out of which 289 million people belongs to Urban area and 46 Million people are from Rural area which is 27% and 12% of total population of India. Common people usually spend on average 4 hr 43 min on the internet. If we see recent data on users of social media, there are 134 million user active on social media site and 97 million users are active on SM through mobile which is 10% and 8% of total population of India.

Political impact: Due to active involvement of common people our political leader is also using social media to connect them through Social media. Our current Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to it very wisely. He used it to connect himself with all those people. I read one of interesting and funny incidents during the election period Rahul Gandhi was criticizing about Modi and his work in Gujarat. In the next 15 min. Narendra Modi get updated with Rahul's speech and he used it in his favour by using factual data.

Economical Impact: Now a days Social medial playing an important role in development of a country. New initiative of make in India taken by our Indian government. Is going to very much affected by Social media. It was launched by our Honourable PM NM on 25 September. 2014 to encourage multi-nation as well domestic companies to manufacture the product in India itself. Social media campaign for make in India to reach every nook and corner of world. It is named as Social media marketing.

Hi friends.

In my view social networking are useful to make the a social people to social, every person is having atleast one a/c on social network sites.

It is a good platform for sharing information, updating our status. We can communicate with people who are away to us. Sharing views will make the person more knowledgeable.

Coming to advantages as we are living in a busy world it helps to be in touch with relatives, friends etc. Business persons can promote their product by using these sms. Coming to disadvantage accessing it in wrong way and it is totally depends on person's attitude, way of thinking.

Hello all.

Me Vishnu NS.

As far as me consider social networking is only one of the way or medium through which a person can develop. If we take a proportion we can find 78% of all population in India using or they know about the presence of Social media. There is no concept which relates with no social media. We can live without these Facebook and twitter all that. By and large time users of Social media users actually decreasing there productivity.

But if we think deeply we can arrive at a conclusion which is really opposing this concept and spectrum. Though there is a good usage of social media but the intensity of consequence through the cyber bullying or privacy issues is much greater than that of other. What we have to do is just use networks for only for utility. Not for degrading your values.

Thank you.

Yes, Social media plays a important role in every life. We can chat with friends or family members where ever in world. We can follow good persons in Facebook, and also you can implement good thoughts in our life.

Simply any thing we can ask in Facebook that means any subject information or any company information. So social media having many advantages. If we use wrong way its very bad its depends on our attitude.
