Hello, guys.

Social networking sites both have disadvantages and advantages but those who all have said about the disadvantages also use these social networking sites.

When we are having any work with our employees, we need some papers we go to his house but we just ask them to send pictures on these social networking sites.

When we want to do any project we just take help from these sites.

Hi, friends.

Here I am going to share some of my points on the influence of social networks on youth.

> These days 'social networking 'is spread to each and every corner of the world.

> Today social networking sites have become the part of our daily routine, especially for youngsters.

> A recent study suggests that people spend more than five hours on an average on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

ADVANTAGES :

> Social networking sites keep the youth well informed and help them from an opinion on the current social, political and international issues.

> Social networking sites are used for various purposes like in politics, business, and technology.

> Online shopping is the best example. As we can buy anything through online. Various sites are available like AMAZON, FLIPKART, SNAPDEAL etc.,

DISADVANTAGES :

> People have become so addictive about their 'digital identities' that they forget the 'real world' surrounding them.

> Many teenagers spend sleep fewer nights on social media which causes of insomnia, mood swings, deficiency of attention in schools, and increased obesity etc.

Hello friends, my name is Rahul. In my point of views, social media plays a tremendous role in busy peoples of all over the world. Social media have both merits and demerits which completely depend on the users who can use it. 1-by using social media we can share our views, thoughts and ideas to the entire world and we must take knowledge of the other peoples. 2-in the present day all the companies used social media for promoting their products, brand sell, best offers etc. To connecting a good impression of the product and for the name of the companies. 3- In the daily life, we can see the promotion of Bollywood movies, teasures, and their game also. I mean to say Bollywood directors are also taking help of the social media for better collections for entire the world. Demerits-. 1-social media is popular due to freedom of speech. But some secular peoples shared the unwanted links. Which is in nationalism, diversity, assert, and incompatible. 2-There are few incidents where robbers using user's geo-location on facebook to find out when the target is at home or not. The 3-social network allows seemingly trivial gossips to be distributed to the worldwide audience. After that rumors created big problems.

Hi Friends.

This is Suresh.

I am going to some of my openion on social networking.

Social network contained both Advantages and Disadvantage but depends on our usage most of the people said more disadvantages but they will also used social networks. Why? it is not a usage of bad usage. Like most of the peoples increase their growth on studies watching youtube videos. Incresed theire speak dificlt languages using sites. So social networks are not for bad. Its depends on our usage.

Hi friends,

My point of view we have both Advantages and Disadvantages of social networking sites.

Because we can get tie up with our friends whom we lost some years back and also we share our pictures, thoughts, Day to day activities with the help of social networking sites. Get a chance to meet new people and share your thoughts with him/her and also get new ideas from all over the world. The main disadvantage of SNS is most of the people are wasting their precious time and postponing their works to spend on these type of sites. So we have to enlighten those people who are addicted and going to addict them.

Hi friends,

In my opinion, social networking sites may be useful to make contact with other people but it may later become an addiction later and when we try to get rid of it then we can not be left this addiction and this may destroy our concentration on studies.

Tanvi said:   9 years ago
Hello, folks.

This is Tanvi here.

Like everyone has said about the merits and demerits of use of social networking, I would also like to put some light on these issues.

Excessive use of social sites being like any other addiction is taking our impulse control. It has become a part of our DNA. The most important impact of it which I found nearby is Teenagers are losing their ability to communicate if not through smartphones. Recent research says that we teenagers are unprepared for the world of work where we will have to actually interact with the people outside our peer group and speak face to face with total strangers. This later results in depression, low self-esteem etc.

Another important affect of social media are it creates disturbances in life when priorities get misplaced and this affects relationships. People start comparing their relationships and partner with the social figures which leads to a drop in romance and development of problems in relationships.

Moreover, one gets influenced by the unrealistic life displayed on social media and thus pressurizes the partner to lead the life as displayed. Even social media makes people more agitated and that too after break-ups; one starts repeatedly checking and rechecking smartphone and reassures if their ex-has moved on if they are happy with the new partner if they are feeling lonely and many other reasons.

People find their online friends the real ones to share their matters rather than with their family.

And this is really very common in youth when their parents ask for some time to talk then they show negligence and avoid it citing the lack of time but on the other hand, they are using these sites on a regular basis. Journals says a billion people uses facebook on a daily basis. And one more reason which comes in the limelight these days is wade in these sites for support is also because of increasing depression in people due to one or more reasons but its excessive use might serve to boost their depression. Because one can't find the real happiness on these outlets where everyone presents a false picture of their lives with flattering selfies, images of holidays, parties etc.

One more point which I would like to add is the excessive use of social media leads to stress, low self-esteem because the lack of shares, likes also makes people feel neglected which affects their brain and health as well.

Bottom line- One needs to learn how to control one's self over the use of social media and introspect one's needs and desires. Also, social media be used in regulated time slots and one should spend quality time with family instead of mindlessly browsing or rather log out when one is upset. Use social media but do not let it take over your life.

Social media has both merit and demerit. It mainly depends on upon our usage. Probably it cannot say social media affects the life of youth but it depends on their character.
