Social Network

  In today’s technology obsessed world, social media and networking has become an important part of daily life. Social networks are websites and phone apps that allow people to create a personal profile, upload pictures of their life, update their status, and share information. Let’s look at some of the advanta ges and disadvantages surrounding social networks.

One of those advantages is that social networking can possibly be the number one way that people met new friends or romantic partners in today’s society. Second of all, social networking allows you to connect with entire groups of people who are interested in the same things as you, helping to grow friendships and enrich lives. At last, social networking can be an outlet for them to share their ideas and thoughts with other people in a comfortable environment.

Besides that, social networks can be very dangerous. They take time away from other activities and can take over from real time interaction, and magnifiethe gap between people who have access to computer technology and those that don't, and finally they can become a venue for bullying. 

Eventually, social networks can be as helpful as they can be dangerous for its users.
