Social
networking has become the in thing for modern society.
People spend over 80% of their time on their phones, computers and iPods etc.
It goes from work, school to just connecting to social networks to keep up with
what people say, think and what they are doing. Young people spend most of
their time on social networks since they cannot reach most of the people around
them they chat, tweet, whatsapp and mxit. It is so much fun to know what is going
on around you and not to miss a single thing, but young people has not noticed
how much they isolate the important things around them.

become so antisocial that they neglect:

Social Media, plays a big role on destroying people's lives because it changes people the way people think and sees the world. But I think its good for building relationships and a good communication channel, just that youth needs to position themselves about the time they spend on these platforms
