Dr. Matt Godbey WRD 110 6 December 2012 The Effects of Social Networking on Our Society The use of electronic and social media has become a staple in our society. No matter where one travels one can have access to this great resource. But has this accessibility and dependence upon electronic and social media gone too far? Is this passion for instant gratification affecting our ability to communicate with those around us on a personal level? Another question to ask is whether or not this constant access to technology will help our children develop the necessary skills to succeed in life; whether through multitasking or being able to adapt to new situations. There have been many studies that argue both sides of this issue. Some say these new

Over the years, technology and even social media have gotten more advanced. Some of the things that I had as kids that are no longer popular anymore. That even for me is different, but I still find it fun to have a real conversation with people. Most people today have some sort of social media. I also think that this could be cause people to become antisocial. Yes, social media can be nice to keep in contact with family that is miles away, but if it is overused and used for the wrong reason it can cause issues. Social media is causing the younger generation to become antisocial they no longer want face to face conversations, they do not need to leave their house’s for entertainment, or even feel lonely after spending hours online.

Impact of Social Media on Society Introduction to social media Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, exchange and comment contents among themselves in virtual communities and networks. Social media or "social networking" has almost become part of our daily lives and being tossed around over the past few years. It is like any other media such as newspaper, radio and television but it is far more than just about sharing information and ideas. Social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Blogs have facilitated creation and exchange of ideas so quickly and widely than the conventional media. The power of define and control a brand is shifting from corporations and

Society is constantly changing and will continue to change in the future. The change is predictable because people change their ideas, routines, and views frequently. One of the topics that is typically brought up when discussing the influences on how society is changing, is social networking. There are two sides to every story. One side of the effects of social networking is that it is beneficial to society by informing people on particular situations in the world and on current important events. The other side views social networking as dangerous and drama filled. While there are benefits and dangers to social networking's effects on society, I will argue that social networking has changed society more negatively than positively.

The Impact of Social Networking on Society Social networking (the use of websites to interact with people) has dramatically changed the way society communicates, all within in a period of 20 years. What used to take weeks can now be done in a matter of seconds. Essentially all limitations as to whom a person can talk to, even if that person lives thousands of miles overseas, have been demolished. Social networking has fashioned a more convenient and controversial life for those who have access.

Everyone have heard the saying “too much of a good thing, can be bad”, the meaning is self-explanatory. However, the statement is true, just thinks about it. Food is good, but too much is bad. Social drinking is good, but too much a person becomes an alcoholic. Social media started as a good idea, but even too much social media can become bad for a person. Society had reached a point where it is not necessary to have human contact in order to have a relationship. Instead of calling and talking to someone, people just chat through the internet or text message. People lost the art of conversation with today’s technology. Facebook launched in 2004 and has become a mega company. Last year, the company had 845 million users, revenue was $3.7 billion, and the estimated value of the company is $100 billion. There are negative and positive effects of social media since the launched of Facebook in 2004. The great debate is: have Facebook plays a positive or negative impact in society?

Almost everybody is aware of some impact social networking sites have had on their life. Whether one comes from the generation before the advances in technology, the generation during the technological advances, or the generation born into the world full of technology, it is all the same; technology has impacted their life. The impact, however, may either be positive or negative. With the way today’s social networking sites (SNS) are working, there seems to be more negatives around than the positives. Some of the negatives within SNS include cyber bullying, lack of privacy, and the adverse effects of screen time.

We cannot deny that social media has taken over conventional media in the world today. We can easily see that they have impacts on our society. Since the introduction of social network sites years ago, to communicate with friends and family has been easy once you have access to internet.The definition of social media is "the relationship that exist between network of people" (Walter & Riviera, 2004). In the last ten years, the online world has changed dramatically. Thanks to the ivention of social media, young men and women now exchange ideas, feelings, personal information, pictures and videos at a truly astonishing rate. Seventy-three percent of wired American teens now use social media websites (oberst, 2010). Schill (2011) states that the social media sites encourage negative behaviors for teen students such as procrastination catching up with friends , and they are more likely to drink and drug. However, every day, many students are spending countless hours immersed in social media, such as Facebook, Myspace, World of Warcraft, or Sim City. At first glance this may seem like a waste of time, however it also help students to develop important knowlegde and social skills, and be active citizens who create and share content. At present, whether social media is favorable or unfavorable, many students utilize these sites on a daily basis. As social media sites continue to grow in popularity it is our belief that technology is a vital part of today 's

The Negative Impact of Social Media on Society Marylin Vos Savant once said, “Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized”. The society we live in today requires modern technology. Texting, tweeting, and other forms of abbreviated communications are now changing how we speak. Of course technology and social media to be precise, is not necessarily evil; they have boosted the world’s economy by creating employment opportunities, increased the standard of living whereby individuals’ needs are met with greater ease, and the world’s connectivity has never been better. Although social media has benefited society in one way or another, it presents more serious consequences, including the way we speak and communicate with each other inhabiting face to face interactions, health associated problems especially among the youth, and poor performances at jobs and schools resulting from abbreviated words.

In a world where there is such a strong emphasis placed on technology, online social networking has taken on society by storm. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram are just to name a few of the objects of mass consumption and insatiable obsession. Those online social network sites have become an influential and integral aspect in our daily lives. They have a tremendous impact on society through its persistently active users, whether or not it is directly or indirectly. In fact, the stability and wellbeing of society revolve around social media due to its undeniable appeals and capabilities. Even though, online social networks connect people in a more convenient fashion through their means of communication, it has also created an incomprehensible and irreversible problem. In the recent years, the culture of online social networking has become the leading force for the deterioration of organic solidarity in society.

In today 's world, the culture depends on they behaviors of humans. The Communities these days have become closer to each other “openness to experiencing and thinking about things from other points of view” (Zion and Kozleski, 2005, p.17) because the people from different cultures have openness of the whole worlds and they have idea about diverse cultures regardless the identity of the person his origin or religion. Culture had become the identity of our communities through our behaviors. It has many factors contribute to the formation of each individual’s cultural . Social networking between people contributed to the development of the individual culture and in the development of society.

Social networking can be thought of as using internet based websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, as well as other services, such as applications and mobile-based technologies, to interact and communicate with people from across the world, and to share information, pictures, and resources with a very large audience. Social networking sites can also be used to find other users who have similar interests as you and is a reliable way to keep in contact with people who you are regularly in touch with as well as family or friends who live throughout the world (Social Networking, 2016) and (Boyd & Ellison, 2007).

This research suggests that even the most caution users can become victims of a social network site.

Nowadays everyone has accounts on multiple social networking sites and they spend a lot of time on updating the developments in their daily life and uploading various media like pictures and videos. People really enjoy doing this kind of activity, to be able to communicate with their friends, family members, and also meet new people. For certain people who use social networking as a marketing forum, this is an effective method. However social networking comes with its own share of negative effects on people. It is indeed true that the way social networking revolutionized the communication channels and brought thr world closer but one should also be wary of its ill effects. A general assumption is that communication technologies help to increase and strengthen social ties. (Cheryl L. Coyle, 2008).
