Here we are!I have decided to talk about social networks as I think everyone or nearly everyone in the class uses them. As you probably know a social network is a web in which people chat, share information, upload photos, etc.
They have plenty of advantages and plenty of disadvantages.
One point of view in favour is that they allow you to communicate with your friends on the Internet instead of spending money on the phone. Furthermore, you can keep in touch with your friends from other countries.
An additional advantage is that you can share photos, texts, messages with your friends. If one of your friends isn't connected to the net, you can write them a message (private or not) and when he/she connects it will be read. It is an entertainment when you use it in moderation and with the permission of your parents.
The main disadvantage is that some people don't know how to use it properly or how frequently it should be used. Approximately, one hour and a half a day is the right amount of time, but most people use it more, especially at the weekend.
It is addictive, I know.
We must remember that approximately two years ago we didn't use it very much and we lived perfectly well but, once you start using a social network, we find we like it and we get used to entering every day. It's like a drug.
An additional disadvantage is that there are plenty of untrustworthy people on the net that can take your personal information and cause serious problems.
All things considered, I think that they are excellent when you use them in moderation. How much time do you spend a day in front of these blue screens known as FACEBOOK and TUENTI ? Be honest!
