Many people believe that social networking sites (such as Facebook) have had a huge negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree?

Thousands of people around the world are now connected with each other through social media

such

as

Facebook

. Does

this

have a negative repercussion on people and community? I completely agree with the statement as virtual social activities have reduced the face-to-face interaction among people and increased child obesity alarmingly. To commence with, people are spending huge time watching electronic gadgets. Being an easy form of communication people now are communicating with their relatives through

resulting in little visit in person. A recent study of Harvard University students shows that 65% people visit their

has a massive impact on child obesity. Youngsters are the most prone to networking. Due to easy access to mobile and cellular data, children now prefer to stay at home to browse social sites rather than going outsides for playing Soccer or Tennis.

As a result

of the sedentary lifestyle of children, body BMR —a factory for which body weight increase as proportional to BMR— is increasing significantly. A survey conducted by UNICEF in 2018 in the USA tabled a horrifying report. It has shown that if the present scenario continues for a decade, 90% children under 18 would be unfit to work later on. To sum up, despite the benefit of connecting people under an umbrella, social site,
