Social networking is most commonly used by students and professionals between the ages of 18-30. Facebook is the most popular social network, used by 55% of people. Mobile devices and laptops are the most common ways to access social networks. People typically spend 1-4 hours per week on social networks, mainly for chatting with friends, entertainment, and escaping stress. Most use the internet daily for social and general information purposes. While social networks help people connect, they can also be misused and negatively impact work efficiency for some people. Overall social networking is seen as properly established in India, but children and teens need guidance on appropriate usage.
