As we all know that Social networking sites have become trend these days like Facebook and Twitter, or for that matter so many more sites like this. But often people like us forget that they have both pros and cons. So here is my question for you today. What do you think, are these sites helpful for us or have grown to cause distraction? I personally find websites like Facebook and Twitter very helpful and useful in so many ways, especially for long-distance relationships. It helps us to stay connected and it keeps things in a flow. The ability to communicate with people all around the globe helps us to gain different perspectives and ideas. Additionally the updates show us what is happening in the world and helps to be updated. Though these sites have been helping us in so many different ways, sometimes it also causes distraction and unnecessary problems. We may lose our track and focus while using such sites and all our enthusiasms disperse away. So, What do you think? Please share your thoughts and views. Let us see how helpful these sites are for us?
