The project “Influence of Social Networking Sites on personal and professional lives of people” mainly focuses on the impact of these sites on the people and the disturbance it causes to their lives in both personal and professional. The social networking sites are gaining a lot of popularity these days with almost all of the educated youth using one or the other such site. In this age of globalization, the world has become too small a place thanks to the electronic media and portals. These have played a crucial role in bridging boundaries and crossing the seas and enabling them to communicate on a common platform.

Are Social Media Websites Harmful To The Youth?Evan Atkinson
This study was done to determine if social media websites negatively affect the youth of America. Many young people in the United States have accounts on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and studies have shown that these websites can have negative affects. With so many young people using these social media sites, studies on the negative affects should surely be done. After conducting a survey, and analyzing many secondary academic resources I determined that in fact the youth could be negatively affected by these social media websites. They are negatively affected in many different ways such as them being addictive, and distracting in an academic environment, but also can affect the youth negatively in several other ways. After coming to these conclusions, I am certain that more studies need to be done on this issue, so we can reverse some of the negative aspects of social media websites, and find a way to be able to use them in the best possible way.

social networking individual vs. crowd behavior (connected intelligence)INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
The study of Human behavior is much more complicated in various situations, especially on the spectrum of Social Networks. The study of individual behavior cannot be replicated for a group/crowd behavior which can have many social and behavioral dimensions. In the connected world where intelligence is shared among individuals and groups, there exists another kind of complexity which needs to be examined.The complexity of human behaviors as an individual or as a group on the social networks is much more versatile and erratic. The research work studies and analyzes these behaviors in a connected networked intelligent environment and as to how these behaviors are reflected towards Connected Intelligence. Consequently it defines how they can affect the intelligent analytical outcomes. Finally it comes up with a generic model which can be applied in any setup.
Usage of YouTube Content among Chennai Urban Women.pdfPugalendhiR
Abstract: The majority of YouTube users are college students, therefore it's critical to understand their usage patterns,
goals, and any potential psychological and behavioural effects. In order to determine the current trends in YouTube usage
among female undergraduate students in Chennai City, this study will examine the devices used, memberships subscribed
to, purposes used, and identity formation time spent networking, negative impacts experienced, and educational usage.
Data from a survey were analysed with SPSS-Statistic 19.0 software, and the findings were compared to the examined
literature. According to the survey, students' YouTube networking habits will eventually win out over parents' and
teachers' attitudes, and although while cell phones are currently prohibited in many college buildings, they will
undoubtedly be utilised in classrooms in the near future. The discoveries provide the current study in this area more depth.

ABSTRACT
Social media is a dissenting topic, especially today. Some people have had the view that social media ruins human interaction not to mention real life human relationships. On the other hand, in the era of everything instant, the idea of living has drastically changed. Initially, people held the idea that life is too hard but with the advancement in technology it has now become a saying that life is easy. All this is attributable to modern technology and equally important globalization, in the sense that people are becoming more independent and interconnected. Social media has changed the world as people used to know it in the sense that people can do everything in an interconnected world that enables instant communication. Some of the most popular social networking includes Facebook, and Twitter among others. Similarly, in this era of social networking people’s idea of reality has greatly changed and people handle such things as relationship differently. This being the case, the objective of this paper is to develop a final prospectus regarding the impacts of social media. Mainly, the paper will focus its attention on the impact of social media and some of the ways that can be used to define the controversy between social media and youths below the 23 years of age.
Impact of Social Media
As mentioned in the discussion, there are many social networks to choose from such as Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram among others. In understanding how social media impacts the youth, it is imperative to look at both the pros and cons of social media on the youth. Essentially social media has reduced the world in a global village which means youths can share and interact easily and instant. Conferring with Ahn (2011), addiction to social media has resulted to poor performance in leaning institutions. Many bright students have resorted to bad behaviours because of social media. Ideally, social media has captured the attention of youths to an extent of not focusing on studies. The issue of mobile phones in learning institutions has invited an endless debate currently. Teachers have complained that students are using phones to connect with their friends and families through such networking sites like Facebook. This idea of using phones in classrooms has deteriorated student performance.
Additionally, youth are so addicted to social media that they do not study at home. Normally, students are supposed to maintain impartiality between social media and studies. This obsession with social media is detrimental to the youth lives. It is estimated that 70% of the district school block have access to social network sites. The rationale behind this is that online communities allow youths to build social capital. In other words, youths are able to access information, seek advice and share ideas through a network of relationships. Most of these SNS o.

How has social Media affected today’s Youth?
Social Media is a prominent part of today's life, especially among young people. Unfortunately, the users of social media do not stop to think about the effects it has on their lives. For instance, people are becoming anti-social while they are at the same time desperate to make more friends on Facebook or get more followers on Twitter. People need to know the impact of social media, both negative and positive, rather than just engage blindly. While there are many positive aspects of social media, the negative aspects are equally many. To help make the right choices, this paper will be an analysis of the effects of social media on youths, and how the negative effects can be handled.
This paper will help youths and parents understand the dangers of social media and know the boundaries they should use as they use it. Failure to do so will cause them to fall to varying traps and dangers that will have negative consequences. Social media is one sector of the internet that is greatly used by criminals. On this site, youths get exposed to cyberbullying, online predators and sexting. These dangers should be discussed to let people know their damaging effects and how they can be avoided. Other than the above-mentioned dangers of using social media, there are effects that are rarely discussed. For instance, teens are not aware of the dangers of exposing their address on public platforms. This paper will expose these dangers and many more as well as provide the most appropriate solutions.

Abstract
There are numerous ways, positive and negative, in which social media impact college students.
Understanding sheer volume of time and the type of activities for which college students use social
networking sites is crucial for higher education administrators. Researchers have begun to empiri-
cally examine impacts on students’ well-being and have found some preliminary results that call for
more research. They find that social media are not the problem—the problem is the specific use and
purpose of social media activities that make the difference.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The usage of SNS has been so widespread that they have caught the attention
of academics worldwide. SNS are now being investigated by numerous social science
researchers. An increasing number of social scientists are developing interest in
studying SNS, because of its impact on society. Further, the usage of Social Networking
Sites (SNS) among the people of India is evidently increasing, particularly among the
Indian adolescent students. It has invariably left a big impact on society in general and
adolescents in particular
Social Networking Sites allow users to manage, build and represent their social networks
online. Social Networking Sites are usually made up of other individuals; they might also include
profiles of events, companies, even political parties. People use Social Networking Sites for
countless activities. Among the most common uses are, connecting with existing networks,
making and developing friendships/contacts, create an online presence for their users, viewing
content/finding information, creating and customizing profiles and so on. Social Networking
Sites have rapidly gained popularity. Globally the active memberships on SNS reached more
than 300 millions. . Teenage youth are a unique population of SNS users.
They are among the first to have grown up entirely surrounded by communication
technologies. Teenagers are also in a period of rapid development, growth, and maturation.
Research about social media effects on youth promises to contribute significantly to the concerns
of adults who mediate access to these online communities.

The explosion in social networking sites such as MySpace, Face book, Bebo and
Friendster is widely regarded as an exciting opportunity, especially for youth. Teenagers are
among the most prolific users of social network sites (SNS). Emerging studies find that youth
spend a considerable portion of their daily life interacting through social media. Subsequently,
questions and controversies emerge about the effects SNS have on adolescent development.
Young people have always devoted attention to the presentation of self. Friendships have
always been made, displayed and broken. Strangers – unknown, weird or frightening - have
always hovered on the edge of the group.
Teenagers began adopting them as spaces to mark identity and socialize with peers.
Teens leveraged these sites for a wide array of everyday social practices gossiping, flirting,
joking around, sharing information, and simply hanging out. While Social Net work sites were
predominantly used by teens as a peer-based social outlet, the unchartered nature of these sites
generated fear among adults.
Today‟s adolescents have increased capacity to interact with one another and the
larger world using media, enhanced opportunities to explore and experiment via media, and
probably an increased likelihood of being influenced by Social media websites (SMWs)
include social networking sites (SNSs), such as Facebook ( www.facebook.com) and
LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com). At present there are several different types of SNSs available,
some with a more targeted audience and others aiming for more general appeal.
Like any other type of media, social media are not inherently good or bad. Social media
is dependent on the type and frequency of their use. Media reports as well as research have
highlighted potential benefits and risks for adolescents interacting with social media. Among
these concerns is the potential for social media to influence health behaviors.Adolescents are
uniquely positioned to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of social media.Daniel J. Flannery
PhD, Dr. Semi J. and Ruth Begunin their work “Social Media and its effects on youth”
(www.cdc.gov) expels the facts that 93 percentage of teens are active users of the internet
(60‐70% daily) and 75 percentage of teens own a cell phone. The average texting of the teens is
over 3000 texts per month (100/day) and text messaging has increased most dramatically, along
with media multi‐tasking.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Literature review is a critical and in depth evaluation of previous research work
done in the given field. The review of literature gives the clean picture of the problem to
be solved as being a prerequisite to actual planning and conducting the study. The
review of past investigation serves as a guideline to the researcher, as it avoids
duplications in the field. In other words literature review is a summary of a particular
area of research, allowing anybody reading it to establish why you are pursuing this
particular research work. A good literature review expands upon the reasons behind
selecting a particular research question.
There were plenty of research articles, journal reviews and paper presentations
on the impact of social networking on the children, teens, youth and adults on different
aspects. For the research work undertaken by me I have focused especially on the

research works of the impact of social media/ social networking on the
teens/adolescents as my research specifies adolescents. The literature reviews I have
referred are given below:
June Ahn, (2011) in his „The Effect of Social Network Sites on Adolescents‟ Social and
Academic Development: Current Theories and Controversies‟ outlined the theoretical
frameworks researchers have used to understand adolescents and SNS. It brings together work
from disparate fields that examine the relationship between SNS and social capital, privacy,
youth safety, psychological well-being, and educational achievement. This research spoke to
high-profile concerns range from youth privacy, safety, psychological well-being, social
development, and academic performance.
Teague E. Simoncic (2012) in his study „Face book Depression Revisited: The Absence
of an Association between Face book Use and Depressive Symptoms‟ investigated the
association between Facebook use, depression, and the personality factors of extroversion and
neuroticism. The study suggests that there is no association between Facebook use and
depression in college students. Additionally, for females exhibiting high levels of neuroticism,
Facebook activity can actually have a protective function against protective symptoms. The
author claimed that this is the first study to empirically examine the relationship between
Facebook use and depression, and its results contradict popular perception of this relationship.
Ghulam Shabir, et al. (2014) ‘the research on “The Impact of Social Media on
Youth: A Case Study of Bahawalpur City’ was conducted to check the impact of social
networking sites in the changing mind-set of the youth. The main objectives were as (1)
To analyze the influence of social media on youth social life (2) To assess the beneficial
and preferred form of social media for youth (3) To evaluate the attitude of youth
towards social media and measure the spending time on social media (4) To
recommend some measure for proper use of social media in right direction to inform
and educate the people. Findings showed that the Majority of the respondents show the
agreements with these influences of social media. Respondents Face main problem
during use of social media are unwanted messages, social media is beneficial for youth
in the field of education, social media deteriorating social norms, social media is
affecting negatively on study of youth. Social media promotes unethical pictures, video
clips and images among youth, anti-religious post and links create hatred among
peoples of different communities, Negative use of social media is deteriorating the
relationship among the countries, social media is playing a key role to create political
awareness among youth.
Sudipta Deb Roy et al. (2015) ‘Impact of Social Media / Social Networks on
Education and life of Undergraduate level students of Karimganj town-A survey’
discussed the positive and Negative impact of social networks on Education of
undergraduate level students as well as on their life, depending on one’s interest to use
it in a positive manner for his /her education and vice versa.
The Study revealed that, Facebook is the most popular site among the youths; it
provides individuals with a way of maintaining and strengthening social ties which can

be beneficial to both social and academic settings. It strongly recommended checking
students’ activities on Social Networks and also minimizing the use of Social Networking
sites for the benefits of the students’ community. To minimize the negative effect of
Social Network, it is vitally important to educate students on healthy use of information
and communication technology as well as providing them a healthy environment.
Parents may also be suggested to spend as much time to their wards in leisure period ,
maintain a friendly relation and try to meet their queries so far as possible in order that
their child might not get much be habituated or addicted towards social networking sites.
Reema & Gopal’s A qualitative analysis of social networking usage, Intr. J Res
Dev Health. (2014) examined that Social networking sites (SNSs) are altering the way
individuals communicate. These online environments allow users to make friends,
network with colleagues, and share their personal views with others. The current study
attempted to study the prevalence and dynamics of excessive social networking among
the Indian youth. It was observed that most Indian students begin to network socially
around mid-adolescence. Gender, nature of family and working parents were found to
be relevant factors in their online usage. The researchers in this study found that
Facebook was the most preferred SNS for functions of chatting and making friends.
Gaming, watching movies and listening to music were enjoyed the most other than
social networking. Most of the participants were found to carry social networking at
night, interact with the opposite sex, have interest in electronic gadgets, ignore daily
activities, hide their online tasks from others, use SNS secretly and feel frustrated in its
absence. Using thematic analysis, social acceptance, physical maladjustment and tool
for career growth were found to be the most common experiences around social
networking.
Objectives of the Study:
The purpose/objective of the study includes the following:
To examine the adolescent students use of internet and social networking.
To find out the impact of internet and social networking on the adolescents physical and
mental health.
To investigate the use of internet and social networking sites by adolescents on gender
and demography base.
Based on the available review of literature, the following hypotheses were formulated.
HYPOTHESES
It is envisaged that the findings of the study will reveal the impact of social networking
usage on the adolescent students and the how they disturb their quality of life and it will also find
the ways to improve resilience in adolescents and how the social net networking can be best used
for the positive purpose and revitalize life. This revelation will assist netizens, parents or
guardians, teachers and counseling coordinators in resolving many conflicts related to the
negative impact of the social networking usage. Netizens will know how the adolescent are
trapped by the social networks and thereby re-examine their networking usage and take
necessary precautions while acting on these sites.
In order to verify the impact of social networking on adolescents it was hypothesized that

Hypothesis-1: There would be significant difference in the use of internet and social
networking usage in relation to the time spent by the adolescent students.
Hypothesis-2: There would be significant difference in the usage of internet and social
networking on rural and urban adolescent students.
Hypothesis-3: There would be significant difference in the use of internet and social
networking usage in relation to the sites most often visited by the adolescent students.
Hypothesis-4: There would be significant difference on the use of internet and social
networking on the adolescents in relation to the purpose of the usage of the networking sites.
Hypothesis-5: There would be significant difference in the use of internet and social
networking usage on the boy and girl adolescent students.
METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the methodology employed to achieve the research objectives.
The discussion centered around the rationale of the study, purpose of the study, research
questions, significance of the study/ hypothesis, demarcation of the research, the population, the
sample, and sampling technique,. The data collection process and the process to analyze the
collected data were described. All these were to ensure that the objectives of the research were
achieved.
Population
The target population comprised all adolescent students of the Senior High Schools and
Junior colleges in the area of Jaggaiahpet, a semi urban town in the district of Krishna, Andhra
Pradesh. This constituted of both male and female students of these institutions. Students of these
institutions were of varied ethnic backgrounds. They were a mixer of rural and semi urban
inhabitants with different socio economic backgrounds. The accessible population was students
in the ten senior high schools and five colleges. The research was centered on the students of the
standards from ix to primary graduation levels where their ages are between 14 and 19.
Sample
Getting a sample in a research study is very important. This is because all members of the
study area cannot be studied. “You cannot study everyone and everywhere doing everything.”
(Miles and Huberman,1994). For this reason a sample consisting of 200 respondents were
selected in which 100 boys and 100 girls were selected for the present study. The breakdown of
the 200 students was as follows.

Adolescents’ use of internet and social networking:
Time spent by teens on SNS
Out of the sample collected 150 teens use SNS every day. In them 24 of them use SNS
more than 30 minutes and 13 of them spend less than 30 minutes. Majority of the teens in this
semi urban area use SNS less than 10 minutes.
Sites often visited by the Teens and the Purpose of usage:
Most of the teens are using Google Search and You Tube (130) for reference and
knowledge purpose. They are depending on the internet for completing project works given to
them in their schools/ colleges. Only 20 out 150 users are using Face book and Twitter for time
pass and chatting. It shows that in semi urban areas which more villages in the surroundings, the
impact of SNS is very less. Only a few teenagers are affected by the computer and internet
technology.
Usage by Gender and Demography:
Out of the 200 sample collected only 150 teens are SNS users. In them 50 teens are non
users. Again in this fifty the girls share is 29 and the remaining 21 are boys. In urban only 14 are
non users and 36 are non users in rural areas.
Among the users of the SNS boys are 79 and girls are 71but in the demography there is
little change there are more rural users 79 when compared to urban usrs71.This may be the
reason that they may SNS for doing their project works and sharing their ideas to complete the
work.

Scores on Internet and Social Networking Usage:
The scores on the internet and social networking usage show that only 9% (14/150) of the
teens are affected by SNS and internet usage. It indicates that the users are experiencing
occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet usage. They should consider this full
impact on their life.
Around 40% (61/150) of them are average users.They may surf the Web a bit too long at times,
but they have control over your usage.
Around 50% (75) of them are unaffected by SNS and internet usage. They just use the
networking only when they have a particular need.
Conclusion:
In semi urban areas where the town is surrounded by many number of villages the impact
of social networking and internet usage is very less. The impact is slowly growing. Even in the
rural areas the usage is gradually increasing as the students adolescents are needed to use the
internet for their educational purposes. There is a little difference in the usage between boy and
girl adolescents and also between the rural and urban users. Only a few adolescents (9%) in the
sample have social networking impact.
