Social Networks
No inventions of the 20th Century surpass the Internet, which is a modern-day vessel for communication, information, and entertainment, all rolled into one! It has greatly improved humanity’s ability to communicate effectively by time to response; it is often the principle source of information on any possible topic from baby care to auto mechanics. If you are seeking entertainment, just click on one of the million websites available. Now the Internet has entered a new realm, social networking with services which are said to enable their users to maintain and dissolve friendships online. Traditionally, an individual’s social networking needs, which date back to the beginning of mankind, were dependent on the individuals’ immediate environment and their interactions within (out) it; how they interacted with people in their community, school, or workplace. Online social networking has changed by expanding the environment for interaction from those named above to large and extensive networks that cover the world.
The following research paper attempts to explore the advent and evolution of social networking sites, their benefits and the dangers of online social networking sites as it relates to human relations. It also aims to determine whether social networking sites enable people to form effective bonds, or is it actually the destroyer of human interactions by reducing man to man contact, as well as the erosion of privacy.
The dictionary definition of the word “effective” is “successful in producing a desired or intended result” also defined as “existing in fact, though not formally acknowledged as such (Oxford dictionaries, 2011).” To effectively achieve a desired goal or result, all the necessary conditions must be availed and adhered to, failure to which, this goal will not be accomplished. For example for one’s studies to be effective, the learner should be focused in all ways, right from attending lessons, timely completion and submission of assignments.
Various issues demand some conditions so as to achieve a given goal. This seems sometimes as part of the main idea, that is the lack of it implies part of the deal is not there hence partial accomplishment. An example of this is a vehicle for one to effectively travel; all the components of the vehicle, such as fuel, tire, and other parts of the vehicle must be in good condition for the journey to be a success. Therefore effectiveness is reached after accomplishing these stipulations.
As for the research topic, it is evident that for people to meet and communicate effectively they must exist social networks, that will help link and bring them together to a site where they can exchange ideas in the process of knowing each other, something which takes place with time. For effective communication in these websites, a lot need to be availed, so as to enable these individuals communicate effectively. Such components include, an open minded person, ready to fully discuss .
Social Networking: Advantages, Disadvantages, Uses, Examples, Means of social communicating, Risks while communicating, Cautions to be taken.
