social Media spread awareness and information if used properly. People get connected with the 'society' more frequently and also gain the knowledge of current affairs. It never make you feel alone. we can get the information of that person who is living miles away from us just by clicking a button. It help us to grow better social understanding with other person and make a person more confident while socializing in real. We not only stay connected with new people but also with the old friends. we can share pictures which is a difficult task in real. we did not stop talking with people or seeing people in the outside world. People who don't go out and blame the social media are unsocial anyway. so why blaming technology?

I agree that use of social networks can make people lazy, less communicative and sociable and even reflect on their health as it was mentioned earlier. However, when used properly it provides people with lots of advantageous opportunities such as meeting new people, finding a job, promoting your business and even overcoming your timidity.

I dare say that all the problems concerning SN depend on how person decides to use networking facilities.

According to rose2184 social networks can be blamed for growth of number of obese people. Even though I do believe that in many cases obesity is caused by lack of physical activity I totally disagre that there is any correlation between obesity problems and social networking. If you take a look at top 10 obesed countries

and top ten most engaged countries for social networking

you may find out that top three countries using SN are not even included in the list of top ten obesed countries of the world which disproves mentioned idea.

People get so comfortable with just talking through this networking that they don't get any real human interaction, which can be bad for the brains development.

Ever since social networking or some sort were invented, people had gone lazier and chose to spend more time inside. Due to that, people had stopped exercising and becoming more obese. That will affect the person's ego so it is abusing.

Hello everybody! Im against to Social Networks. Because its negatively influences on our psyche and some mental abilities, especially children`s. And it can lead to some psychological disorders. Such as narcissistic, antisocial behavior, the different type of mania and aggressive behavior. For example: I`m sitting in Facebook and I typed a maesage to a beautiful girl, however she didn`t answer me and it make me to be angry. Also it might make my self-concept decrease. Same situation about photos, I put a new picture on me main page of Facebook. But my picture take not so many "like" that I expected. Though I have so many friends in Facebook, and my self-concept drops down. So we can tell about disadvantages more than advantages. So do not spend time sitting on Social Networks take up your ass from chair and start to live!

If you didn't have social networking facilities you wouldn't be able to spend your time here sharing your ideas and thoughts concerning various themes. You wouldn't be able to contact people around the world, practise your critical abilities, improve your skills in disputes and you wouldn't be able to get debate experience as easily as you are able to do that with the use of social networks!

I'm not saying that we should never use social networking. It's ok if people use it to develop and improve their skills, but actually it isn't. Mostly people use social networking just to make fun. They watch stupid videos, playing some unnecessary online games, typing meaningless dialogs, abusing each others and etc. If you using it in right way you're welcome!

I also want to add that if you are a confident sociable person and you can easily interract with other people in real life, social networking will not be able to change your nature and make you become seclude timid person at any times.

Sorry, if you didn't notice I mentioned about children. And how little child can be confident, sociable? These skill we practicing by years of experience. And social networks and in general all Internet staffs make it slow. Because converse in front of monitor can not be experience!
