Social Sites: A Real Threat Or Real Friend

Hello friends

When we listen social site then many names rise in our mind like facebook, Twitter or MySpace as well as professional networking site Linkedin too. But one question arise in my mind “are we social or not” because social means living together in communities or colonies. But With a change in technology or time, we have cut down our self from face to face interaction with human being because we have become a part of educated society where we compare ourselves better than other by education, status, money, popularity and through different passage of life. Now Around more than 50% people are 24 hour available on the social sites.

Social networking has covered the world like cobweb. Around the world, about half of all adults are using social sites. Once they access the internet, they just login into these sites either for the chatting or interacting with unknown guys. They just spend their more important time on it for fun and entertainment. We have become online social but not actually social because we share interests, activities, photos, content etc without any face to face interaction. It may cause some harmful result for our society, for our health, for our growth, for our education etc. So we have to start to guide our youth “how they can positively use these social sites without losing their important time?"

How you can positively use your social website profiles without leaving it?

1>Interact with your topic: - if your child is spending more time on social networking sites like facebook, twitter etc  in that case you have to check “what kind of topic? He/she is sharing with their friends or another guy.”  If the topic is not relevant to your child then guide them to choose relevant topic with their studies or interest, when they are on the social sites.  

2>Meet with real and knowledgeable guy: - Try to ignore those guys, who are only chatting with you, an emotionally blackmailing you, shares unnecessary content/photos, fake persons etc. you just connect yourself with real and knowledgeable guys, who interact you to share only important information which is related to your topic, education, business or you.  

3>Use social sites as a guide not for fun: - Here you are connected with multiple of person, who interact with you at a single time. So you need not to give time to everybody. You just interact with that person who can solve your current problem and make discussion with your current related topic.  

4>Block or complain unnecessary users: - Always block and complain against those users who shares nude and unnecessary content. Because one of them among us is operating these id, so we have not to blame social sites.

Finally as a writer “I said that overuse of anything tends to have a negative effect”. Turn your social connections in knowledge because these sites are an easiest way of connectivity as well as for your help not for time pass. Have a great day take care.
