Impacts of Social Networking Sites

Social media networking is not meant for everyone though; it has become a massive part of every individual’s life. Social communication has highly affected individual’s ability to communicate as well as interact in all over the society. Social media being the widely used source of communication, affect the manner in which we communicate as well as engage with each other as related to direct contact. It is a platform where natives are becoming supplementary social and interactive with one another whereby; style of communication changes completely to avoid face to face interaction. As communication travel rapid and rapid, the world gets smaller and smaller thereby; according to Robin’s article, it illustrates that social networking one to communicate easily and effectively with each other. This communication has opened up the World making it a small place since, when it comes to social networking everyone is equal I tend to agree with the articles that internet interaction have changed the manner in which people globally communicate, but I  would suggest that it have negatively affected the manner of communication. It is a platform that has lead to complete change, especially how individuals interact thereby; they have completely lost their social skills. It is obvious that many people are unable of carrying a normal conversation in person with others due to the high dependency on the social media (Robin, 2010).

Introduction of social media have generated several avenues, for facilitating information on daily communication needs.  I would agree with the article by Jessica, suggesting that the social media has impacted to empathy. People take much of their time on the social networking especially, on face- book where individuals talks about almost everything on their lives. It is not effective where people spend long hours; sharing the ups and downs of their lives to people they hardly know. However, it is obvious that they will listen to you but they won’t care since it does not bother them. Social media have negatively affected commutation whereby; grammar has been failed by word are placed in crucial ways. It has never been easier to make friends and, the raise of mobile phones have aided in the change by connecting individual’s globally.   Social networking has led to a world of virtual relationship whereby; individuals are communicating differently. With face-to- face communication personal sincerity was easy to see, unlike with the mobile era whereby; people’s candor has been observed as having changed (Jessica, 2011).

The fundamental issues facing the social media are based on the role it plays on individuals live as well as impact it implicit. Our communication on the social media is aimed at trusting people therefore; we tend to open up our messages. However, the social networking is not strong since there is no proof as it is in the face- to –face communication.  Despite the huge platform opened by the social medial in the field of interaction, it is not able to strengthen and deepen the relationship thus, appears to be in the status quo. Social media networking generates a false sense of connection thus; making it difficult for one to distinguish the essential relationship they foster in the world, with the several relationships created over face-book and twitter. I tend to agree with Andrew’s article because it clearly illustrates on the limitations of social networking suggesting that; technology aimed at enhancing individual’s daily live has dramatically failed The fail is as a result of much focus of personal time as well as psychic energy on meaningful relationships. The social media communication platform has highly encouraged users, on being more public of their personal lives. Media like the face-book that is mainly used globally encourage user to post anything on their lives whereby; people are prone to circumvent the information they might employ while discussing their lives over the social media. Over-sharing as well as loss of privacy is the biggest mistake the social networking site impact led to the society. The entire concept of privacy appears to be inexorably at rapid pace thus; makes it the interesting part of online communication. Most users of internet have become zombies whereby; they are connected all day and night and end up fallen into the society where privacy is not highly valued (Andrew, 2012).

Many people enjoy social networking services like the only shopping as well as entertainment. For a lot of them online has become a better line of connection than of relationship couples therefore; many married couples have fallen into the victims of divorce as well as breakup. In reference to Andrew’s piece, I would agree with its illustration that there will be a time people will fully believe that they do not exist fully without electronic involvement in their lives. The social networking platforms overload to some extent especially the Twitter, which at times requires a change of personal mindset to view it (Andrew, 2012).I would agree with Robin that a human being body changes depending on the social relationship thereby; with the internet it is genuine that individuals are living on top of each other. The three articles are connected in that they generate a similar idea on social networking and, for Andrew’s article it majors on social media. Face-book has become a strong platform encouraging people to happily give up on their private details thus; end up posting everything about them online. Almost for every Face-Book users have posted their full names, birthdays and to an extent of revealing who their families are. It is an awkward thing for people that they can easily reveal everything on their lives on the social media, yet it is difficult for them to do the same on billboards (Robin, 2010).

In conclusion I would suggest that social media communication, have led to decreased productivity in the economy. It is obvious for much business to use the social media platform thus; making work easier while interacting with clients. However, social media can be used negatively in spreading unnecessary information about a company. Andrew suggests that some people are even able to hack business information thus; posing a huge threat on it economy (Andrew, 2012).Online commutation is an addictive site that nobody gets tired of using it. However, the platform is used in private lives, businesses, events as well as other various purposes. Since the development of social media, the world has been filled with less real-life communication. Individuals have decided to shift completely from the real world, by building up relationship online. Feeling closer and connected to individuals found on social media is generated by the more comments, posts as well as like.  Mobile phones being the major elements in social communication have been turned into a studio like whereby; interaction with people globally is easily practiced (Jessica, 2011).
