Demerits and merits of online social networking sites that greatly affect the youth lives.

Social networks sites are a very good platform to share idea and views. A social network means the connection of social people, in the social media people can connect their relatives, friends and with unknown people whom they never met face to face. A news spread with more than light of speed. Every organization, celebrities are directly connected to their follower and fans. And they can talk and share any updates. Social networks are only platforming to discuss any topics, any issue. Its influence on all age groups either youth or others. But for the youth they connected more people whom they never met, but they don't talk to their relatives and friends daily who are connected face to face.
