Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home,leisure, and work activities. Do the advantages of information technology outweigh the drawbacks?

Social
networks
have been actively developed in recent years. They help
people
to always be aware of events, and not to miss important news about politics and economics. It
also
makes it easier to communicate with friends and relatives. Allows you to find old friends, see their life and maybe even start talking again. Social
networks
also
have disadvantages, but I think they still do not outweigh the advantages. The disadvantages of social
networks
and similar services include the transition of
people
to online and the partial rejection of live
communication
in

before they could walk all day on the playgrounds, harden home only for lunch and enjoy
communication
with their peers. Now children are less likely to go out for a walk, they can sit and play computer games with their friends over the network.
This
adversely affects the development, imagination and
communication
skills of children.
However
, in my opinion, social
networks
still have more advantages. Thanks to these services,
people
got the opportunity for quick
communication
and mobility, facilities. Now you can easily continue to communicate with relatives living in another country, using video
communication
, before
this
possibility was not available and
people
could not communicate for some years.
Also
, these sites gave us the opportunity to follow the life of
people
little known to us, famous personalities. In conclusion, I want to summarize the above once again: social
networks
are really a big breakthrough for humanity, and despite all the possible disadvantages of these sites, they helped
people
communicate easier, better, and more, and
this
is their biggest plus.
