Social Networking-Boon or Bane
Pokes, likes and posts....
These words might have had a different meaning a few years ago, but now, they are used in reference to the social networking sites like facebook.
YES.Welcome to the world of social networking which has ended up making the world a very small place; more like a global village-where in getting in touch with people is just a click away!
But here is the big question- Is Social Networking really a boon or a bane?
Especially in the case of today’s generation.
Yes,there is no doubt that this helps increase our friends circle,the oppurtunity to interact with different people and make new friends across the world.
But social networking sites are acting as a major distraction for students as they are spending too much time on them, instead of utilising their time on books, newspapers and other educational resources. Parents are worried over the future prospects of their children as they spend much of their valuable time on social networking sites.Their interaction with family,their interest in outdoor activities,their concentration towards studies have come down drastically.Moveover youngsters are lured by conmen and other shady individuals through these sites and this is leading to grave risks.
Many students give reasons that by social networking they enhance their knowledge but in reality it is not so. In the name of that knowledge student’s waste time on so called gossips instead of doing something productive or educative.
The concern is that vulnerable teenagers, with limited experience of the world, are entering an unknown place without adult guidance
In a research carried out on school and college students it is found out that the students using the social networks excessively develop anti-social personality & also various health problems.It was also found that excessive use of these sites affect badly on the education of the students.
On a positive note, social media allows kids to practice life behind a safety curtain,
