Social Networking

Social Networking, maybe you have heard the word before, but are not quite sure what it means. Social networking is a grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision. Recently, more and more social networking groups are appearing on the internet, creating websites for people to interact with each other.

Nowadays, more and more people have begun using global social networking websites, whether its for private purposes or to the whole world, for example facebook, flikr and even myspace. Many are being hooked onto these websites so much that they do not do their work or assignments. With the world becoming even more high-tech, more and more objects are appearing to distract one from working. Also, there are dangers associated with social networking including data theft and viruses, which are on the rise. there are also people who pretend to be someone else.

These sites are sparking a controversy, that in some countries like China and Vietnam, these sites are banned. A study showed that workers who had social networking sites didn't do as well as the ones who didn't.

The problem now is whether facebook is good or bad. It gives you and your friends a good place to interact, but also attracts you a little too much. Make the choice, the better one prefered.
