Social networks are the new way of communication for example Facebook, Myspace, Orkut and much more.

Everyone is sharing pictures, day to day activity, thoughts about issues, personal problems etc. on the social network. As well as people are communicating with each other through social networking sites. Few people are exploiting social networking sites by spying on others life. Few cases have been reported where robbers and thieves were spying on victims through social networking sites. So one should take care of what he/she is sharing on social network. Its own responsibility that to not share anything personal which can create problems.

Public sharing of private lives has not led to a rethinking of anything. It's just reminded people to use extreme caution when publicly sharing their private lives. If you wouldn't do something in front of everyone you know, don't do it on the internet.

The Internet is popular due to freedom of speech. Few groups are asking that social networking sites should be banned. If the government would ban social networking sites then the internet will not be free. People will not share their lives or communicate with others and the internet will loose its charm.

Humans are social animals by nature and social networks are just one other outlet for humans to interact. We should not look at social networks as threats but as opportunities for us to interact with people globally. I myself am an active user of social networks and have made many friends and business contacts online that I would otherwise not have had the same level of opportunity or interaction.

Social networking sites are a complete waste of time. Youth is wasting their precious time on these social networking sites so these sites should be banned.
A guy who posted a video on YouTube weightlifting, skiing, and performing karate exhibitions. He was fired from his job for showing too much Bravado.
There was one incident where robbers using user's geolocation on Facebook to find out when the target is at home or not.
Unlike other human social interactions which are transient, e.g. talking to friends over lunch etc, the Internet keeps a permanent record of what we say to each other. If you are having an online conversation with your friend(s) then you should be aware that conversation can be seen by countless others and that a record of that conversation will be kept somewhere on the Internet. Indeed, now with some social networks introducing geo-location services a record of where we go and how long we spend there will also be maintained.
Social-networking sites allow seemingly trivial gossip to be distributed to a worldwide audience, sometimes making people the butt of rumors shared by millions of users across the Internet.
Public sharing of private lives has led to a rethinking of our current conceptions of privacy.
Existing law should be extended to allow some privacy protection for things that people say and do in what would have previously been considered the public domain.
People need to be aware of the environment within which they are communicating to others. If you are discussing things in a public forum then all that information is available to everyone else in that forum. Therefore they should take a common sense approach to what they should and should not discuss. In the real world, we only talk about sensitive issues when we are in private and with people we trust. I think though that when people are online they can fall into a false sense of security because there are physically in a secure place using their computer either in their office or their home which results in them divulging information they should not.
Conclusion

The social network is indeed a boon for the human race as it is bringing people closer and letting them communicate with each other without any fear and barrier. But still, one need to be cautious of what level of personal information they are revealing on social networks.

Hi.

This is Ajit.

Friends. Nowadays social media has become an integral part of life. Apart from sharing each other's feelings, views and ideas social media is being used for promotion, advertisements and selling commodities. Moreover one acquires a unique perspective on the life and problems of others to whom one interacts with, which is helpful in an enhancement of real life social skills.

In life, we are often subjected to good or bad choices it is only we ourselves who can decide what we want in life. And remember roses bear thorns also.

In my opinion, social media cannot be defined as either good or bad.

How it turns out will be up to the person using social media be it good or bad.

Because if a person uses social media for bad things then it is bad for that person.

But if it used for something good then it is good for that person.

So it all depends on the person using social media.

Good morining, our topic is influence of social network on youth, in the world with everything has pros and cons. Social networking make our lives good, with this we can communicate and chat with our friends, relatives at sitting one place. Social networking sites and social media has revolutionized the world, social networking. We are in the developing country so we have to accept the new revolution so it may makes our lives better than now. But its up to us that using everything in excess is bad so, lot of time safe using social network than following traditional way to communicate with peoples. And social media is not only for chatting purpose we can share our thoughts via social network, we can discuss with if any projecct related issues, anything can happen good if we use in proper way.

Social media connect the people whenever our people, country, world getting struggle in any problem. The great example is the lockdown period of COVID-19, natural disasters, protests, etc. Through social media we can connect any people for getting more knowledge and make contact with them. It helps us with the growth of our carrier. But if we see social media in our personal life, it changes the people physically and mentally. As per sir, Abdul kalam said, the growth of our country is in youngsters' hands, so we have to take responsibility and stand together for it. So, finally, what I'm trying to say is everything is only in our hands.

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.

Hi guys, I am Aman.

Our topic is the influence of online social networks on our youth. I am going to put on my views, In this pandemic, we completely depend on this because we had no other options. What's going on our surroundings we easily know through it but everything has two aspects so it is also. I think so this realies on us that how do we use it.

Social network is very good service, if we know how to use it correctly. It helps people to share their thoughts in public and to find social groups where they fit in. If we want to share about our personal life it is up to us to decide whether it right or not, by keeping in mind the disadvantages it can lead to.

Hello I'm Jagadeesh, yeah, of course, our topic is good it is very useful now-a-days that is social media, it's like a mediator between the customer and marketing sellers. It is also useful for publishing the products, promotions advertisements etc. The free of cost we can publish our products. The main disadvantage is that is the if we want to access the internet we have pay 296 rupees for 1GB data. If we promote a product on social media it can be reached to billion people with the cheap cost that data price.

The social media will support online banking it is very useful for the present situation which is demonetization. It is processed to get any type of product in online shopping.

Heyaa friends!

Myself Yathy,

In my opinion, social media is that tool which helped us to get modernise and make our tasks easy like shopping, searching for an information, and getting to know about our well-wishers who live in far-off places etc. Yeah so it helps us a lot but since everything in the world which has some advantages has a few disadvantage also and the biggest disvantage is misuse of social media by the youth as the devote much of their time in these skipping their studies which ultimately hampers their future so if this issue is settled then the conception about the social media by the researchers could change and they just can find out its merits only.

Thank you.
