Effects of Social Networking

In the first few seconds of the start of the program, a person describes that they are addicted and can find themselves on it for hours. This is very true considering how far technology has advance now. People use it because it is easy and almost everyone else also uses it. While some people can be themselves online, others create a whole new self. The internet is an easier place for someone to express themselves or do what they want.
A person can post an unlimited amount of pictures or message online. It helps children and teens alike to communicate with each other. This is raises the concern of parents. Since these users can post what they like, the parents loses the control of what is put online for everyone else to see. They cannot be assure that the person their child is talking to may be a person whom they attend school with or the child is starting a relationship with someone who is as old as they may be. The internet is a place where many people young or old interact with each other. It allows people to create false identities, helps people stay connected, find new friends, etc. It is useful in many way, but can also have dangerous consequences.
