Social Networking’s Impacts on Society Social Networking is a growing media that most of the population either uses or is at least aware of. In January 2010 incites had conducted an online survey with 2,884 consumers from over 14 countries, between the ages of 18-55. More than 90% had at least known of Social Networking and 72% have had at least one social networking site in their life (Raymond Tay). This means that if you were to stand in a room full of people and ask who has a Social Network page, most likely more than half the room would raise their hands. Some may believe that this is a harmless thing, because the media only focuses on the positives of Social Networking, although there are many negatives that can also change your mind on what Social Networking truly is. Some examples of a Social Network page are Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube. These can be great ways to stay in touch with friends, family, and people that you may not have seen in years (Syed Noman Ali). You can also learn to know people fast. A single click of a share button can find you almost 500 friends within just a few days (Raymond Tay). Most of these sites can be personalized to your liking with backgrounds, music, and pictures. This shows a great way of expressing yourself to interest other people into talking to you (Ebonny Wheeldon 2010). On Myspace you can choose from thousands of different backgrounds that best suits your personality. There is also a box where you can go
