If I’m honest I don’t have a lot of social networks, I only have Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp. I don’t like to use a lot the first two, but I use quite a lot the third.

I’ve been thinking these days and in my opinion, people use them very frequently, so I can say that they are important in our lives. Apart form that I think that social websites have a lot of advantages, but we can not forget the disadvantages. We usually don’t take into account the importance of the disadvantages that they have, and it’s very important to know them.

These are some of the advantages the social sites bring. You can find romance in many social sites, also you can get and give product and service referrals. Also you can seek a job, you can give or receive career or personal advice, you can share political beliefs and much more. In Instagram you can access news in real time, and you can see people's photos as well. Then in Whatsapp, you can speak with friends or family that are not with you in that moment, or that they are not in your country.

And these are some of the disadvantages that that they have. In a lot of times there is the risk of fraud or Identity theft, that means that whether you like it or not, the information you post on the Internet is available to almost anyone who is clever enough to access it, and with that information one person can create another profile, with your name, surname, and all the information that have about you. On the other hand there is cyberbullying and crimes against children. What is cyberbulling? Cyberbulling is when we use social networks to expose individuals to other forms of harassment or even inappropriate contact. This can be especially true for teens and younger children. Unless parents diligently filter the Web content their family views, children could be exposed to pornography or other inappropriate content. Thirdly, other disadvantages are that they causes distractions, they reduce family closeness, they give people a licence to be hurtful, and also they decrease face-to-face communication skills.

As you can see not all the things are good. So, we have to be careful when we are using social sites, otherwise we can have problems and negative consequences.
