Social Networking and the internet has almost made one-one conversation impossible. Everything that you post on the internet is displayed for all to see. A message through a social network that is supposed to be private can still be seen by someone it was not intended too. The purpose of social networking is mot negative at all. It is intended for people to use it as a way to create relationships, network ideas, promote ideas, and even reconnect with people that you lost touch with. The problem is people become involved with the sites and become addicted.

For example, my mother works for the state of New Jersey as a criminal investigator. Her job can be very time consuming and sometimes she finds herself bringing home work from the job. Despite being so busy my mom used to make the time in her day to log on to Facebook and update her status and make sure she kept up with maintaining Farmville. She was only able to stop using Facebook once she found herself bringing a lot more of her work home with her. she realized that Facebook was consuming a lot of the time that she was supposed to be concentrating on work.
