Social media addiction: Many people believe that social networking sites such as Facebook have a negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some individuals believe that networking sites have a bad impact on the human society. In my opinion social media are a fast way to communicate with each other.
However
, I
also
believe that people spending too much time on their social networking sites Social networking sites play a pivotal role in mitigating communication gap not only in the immediate social circle but
also
with friends and families in remote areas by sharing their news and updates. Social networking sites provide a rapid and effective way of interaction among people.
Furthermore
, many social groups exist on
such
sites which help people to find persons of the same interests and attitudes without confiding them to only geographical boundaries. It has recently been seen that many injustices and social issues were shared in social networking sites and that made a huge impact on the authority and that has brought justice to the victims. Social networking sites are a common ground for mass people to share their updates, views and other details.
Thus
Accept comma addition
Thus, this
this
has created a world without any boundary.
On the other hand
, it is often seen that people have become disjointed and fragmented as the social networking sites become prevalent in societies and communities. Youngsters are more receptive to
this
change would like to spend most of their time on these sites.
This
has led dire consequences on their physical and psychological health.
Moreover
, families are greatly affected by
this
and their social bonding is no more present in contemporary days. People are getting addicted to these websites and
thus
becoming less social in many cases. Propaganda and fraud relationship have caused many personal and social dilemmas.   To sum up, I would like to say that people have become more social and interactive with the use of social networking sites. It gives people a sense of freedom to talk around the world without worrying about the huge cost that incurred previously.
However
, it has severe negative effects, as most of the people opt to talk using technology than meeting others in person due to their busy lifestyle, it increases  the distance in their relationship.
