In the last two decades cybernetics have experienced a major breakthrough. This led to the utilization of computers at nearly all parts of daily life. The new technology has changed the existing relationship among individuals and has created new forms of social networking.

Social Networking Sites(SNSs) such as Twitter, Flickr, MySpace and Facebook have a very strong influence on the lives of millions of students (Thompson 2007), leading many educators to wonder what role, if any social networking could have in education(Joly 2007).
