Social networks and communication

Social networks have radically changed the lives of many people. They play an important
role in the life of modern humans, and many are very attached to them. In my opinion in
addition to the benefits that social networks create, they also have many disadvantages.

Social networking with friends, sharing pictures or news, have become easier. Many people
regained old friends, some of them get new ones, and getting information became much
faster and more flexible. People are more assertive in expressing their opinions, in the free
speech and discussing.

For many companies, social media also has positive results, including advertising, getting
feedback or doing surveys.

Unfortunately, along with these advantages, there our quite many disadvantages to social
networks that are obvious to everyone, though very few try to deal with them.

The most pressing and painful problem that everyone recognizes unanimously is wasting
time. People spend hours browsing through friends pages, playing meaningless game,
spending nights, stopping work, studying and other important things. Many interesting,
enjoyable and valuable things can be done during this time.

The second problem is the disconnect from real life. People live on social network, interact,
share every news, receive information. At the expense of this healthy relationships are
increasingly deteriorating, especially with family members. Instead of spending an hour to
our family, telling them interesting stories of the day or sharing joy or pain, when we come
home we sit at the computers, log in social media an share our stories with all strangers and
acquaintances.

Only a few amount of people has noticed the third disadvantage. It is a complete exposition
of personal life or information. You actually make it accessible to everyone, it will be
possible to understand your life at any time – who you are friends with, what you do, where
you go, how you work, what you like or dislike. No matter how close your profile is, a small
app can access all this information. No one knows what awaits you in the future. It is easy for
anyone to ever use this against you.
In conclusion, social networks have many positive and negative sides. I don’t have one
particular answer, is it good or bad. It can be both.
