‘’ Social network; I think it is very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not to be defined by another person. OSCAR WILDE’’One of the defining phenomena of the present times reshaping the world as we know it, is the worldwide accessibility to the internet. The lovechild of the World Wide Web is social media, which comes in many forms, including blogs, forums, business networks, photo-sharing platforms, social gaming, micro blogs, chat apps, and last but not least social networks. Social networking is a relatively new advancement in technology.
The power of social networking is such that, the number of worldwide users is expected to reach some 2.95 billion by 2020, around a third of Earth’s entire population. Social networking really comes with lot of features so it's users are increasing day by day. The above detailed information regarding advantage and disadvantages written very well. Social network played a major role in communication. It has brought a lot of advantages for the society. From progressed nations to under-developed countries, every nation is utilizing the power of social media to enhance life and use it for the bitterness of the people. On the other hand it has also affected the society in the negative way. If I will write about all of advantages and disadvantages maybe it will never finish. So I just want to write about one advantage and one disadvantage which are my opinions about social network.
First, The one of the advantage of social network.
Learn by network; It is my really favorite topic about social network. Because We spend so much times chatting, sharing news, watching something, calling, playing…etc… But sometimes we just wasting time. So I want to say that instead of wasting time we can learn so many good things /online course, sharing knowledge, organize volunteer works…etc/ from social network. Social networking sites offers great benefits if one use these sites effectively for personal and/ or professional purposes.
Second, The one of the disadvantage is there is no real communicate
FACE-TO-FACE. For example, Nowadays we use smart phones every moment while we are eating, studying, talking, waiting, walking, exercising… A cell phone does not bring you close to people but takes you far away from the person sitting next to you. Today people prefer to text or call a person rather than going to meet them. This increases the distance between people and the device which was supposed to bring people close becomes the key factor that makes them un-social.
Finally, Just like anything which can be used for both good and bad, social media have also provided the negative and positive ways for the people. It is all about the usage and getting things done positively by using the power of social media. It is in the hands of the user to use to its advantage. So I mean it just depends on your choice that you can use social network positively or negatively.
