Impact of Social Networking Sites on Youth



Social Networking Sites today have dissolved into our lives so fast and so easy that now we feel these websites were here always, it doesn't feel like its a 21st Century thing anymore. Then the Introduction of these SmartPhones, getting cheaper and better. Tempting every individual to buy one. Many people say that these Social Networking Sites are creating a negative Impact on our youth. The youth is awakening its Narcissist behavior as these sites connect them with hundreds of their friends with just one Click.



Many of us have become attention seeker. But i think the situation is NOT that bad, i mean yes youth is getting spoiled a bit wasting hours and hours on these sites. But when i take a more closer look with a calm mind, i can clearly see their are more positive things attached to Social Networks than negative. I mean the social media has brought us closer than ever. I know many will argue that its all virtual, but its how you take it, i didn't say to spend hours together online! But what when you are not at all in a position to meet-up but still wanna talk(chat), hear each others voice, see each other, (Hangout), i mean it has revolutionized our social interaction. It has made our Life much much easier.

And not just that, many businesses attract a large % of their customers through Social Media. I think Facebook become so popular as it made it really very easy for us to share our Pictures so easily, and within a fraction of a second these Images are available for hundreds of our friends to see. And the speed with which YouTube has grown in the last couple of years i guess Social Networking will be a lot more video sharing than pictures. 

     But yes you cannot call YouTube and pure Social Network like FaceBook, because Facebook allows us to share our stuff with only those we want, but on YouTube its either just you, or its the whole world! But yes many are OK with it!
So my conclusion is don't worry about how Social Networks will ruin your life, see to it that they will make it better!

  1. Mayuresh Nanavare good post brother . As far as i have seen Youtube has much more to offer the enormous youth folks than Facebook can . The scope of Social Network has grown strong and its certainly upon us to scratch our ball and utilise it.
