Today's world is the world of technology that has brought globalisation to every sector of life. Social

media

sites

are the ones that played a significant role in globalisation. But some believe these stations have a pessimistic effect on youth and had affected their ability to make personal relationships while others think

this

is a medium for connecting

people

in a good

way

.

However

, I agree with both notions to a certain extent. The

first

and foremost reason why some support

Facebook

and Twitter is because it helps in maintaining long-distance relationships. With the help of these ,

sites

people

can connect to their loved ones or friends at any time and can see the stuff they post on their profiles on a daily basis which helps them to feel as they are not very far from

one

another. To illustrate ,

Facebook

helped me to connect with my husband who went to a foreign country for studies and lived there for almost eight years. It really helped us to feel that we were not very far from each other because we used to video call each other with the help of

Facebook

.

In addition

to ,

this

we

also

met each other on

one

of the famous social

media

sites

of that time called 'Orkut'. In

this

way

,sometimes these social

media

sites

help in making new relationships and

also

contribute to maintaining these relations for a long period of time.

On the other hand

, sometimes these websites do have a negative impact on the young generation when they are caught in the trap of web liers. Because it is not possible for someone to verify another person by simply checking his profile. The information provided by the netizen could be wrong.

Therefore

, adults should be aware of the possible outcomes of making strangers a friend on these

sites

.

For example

, there is a program called 'Web Liers' telecasts on

one

of the American channels' Investigation Discovery' where they show some real stories of the

people

who caught in the trap of the other person on these types of

sites

and mostly those

people

are kind of obsessed in some

way

who ultimately murder the victims. So the young generation should be aware of

this

kind of

people

on social

media

sites

. Another example would be the 'Blue whale game' in which hundreds of children ended up their lives by doing suicide. In conclusion,

Facebook

and Twitter can always be beneficial if

one

uses these websites in an appropriate

way

. Parents should

also

keep eye on their young ones and teach them the negative effects of these

sites

.
