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

In

this

modern

world

, technological advancements in the field of media and communication have brought many significant changes in

society

. Many developments have been noticed soon after the introduction of social networking

sites

. As per the given statement, It has been argued by many people that these networking

sites

mostly have negative impacts on any person and

society

. I do not completely agree with

this

opinion and will discuss my points in

this

essay. 

To begin

, the Internet and social network applications have created a new global

world

and given many advantages. Certainly, possibilities that were never thought of earlier have emerged and changed

this

society

completely.

For instance

, an easy interaction between individuals in a family and at office places from a distance. If a family member has gone for some study or work purpose to a different place, it is now possible to stay connected with him or her on a routine basis.

Furthermore

, one could find old friends or make new ones, arrange meetings, post pictures, advertise and demonstrate any business through these

sites

. Popularly, Facebook, Instagram, ticktok, Snapchat and many others have influenced adults

as well as

children. 

Nevertheless

, despite having many benefits, there are some drawbacks too. People are spending a lot of time on these

sites

and

subsequently

, there is now a loss of creativity and efficiency.

Also

, as some people choose to brag and give information about all their personal activities to the

world

, later they regret their own behaviours.

For example

, interesting news came a few years back that

while

a family was posting its vacation pictures and planned holidays, meanwhile, thieves traced details from their previous Facebook posts, conducted a crime and looted their home. Another point is the effect on young brains and lack of interest in physical activities and in-person meetings which is not making a healthy

society

.  In conclusion, social

sites

have completely changed the

world

in the

last

two centuries and have many negative effects.

However

, I do not agree with the statement. Apart from negative developments, there are many positive changes too and need a guided approach to make it more useful rather than facing a ban

due to

its wrong usage.
