Because of this, there has been a massive effect on the amount of socialising between friends and family; using technology in online social messaging websites such as Bebo, MSN, Facebook and many more. Through these social messaging websites, more and more people can interact with their friends and family all over the world. An expert professor David Crystal has supported the idea of web-based messages and disagrees with the view that slang and contractions leads to a lower English standard of language. Although this is a benefit to most people, it has been abused by some people by overusing it and different ‘language’ while typing, which cause differentiation in the way we speak and the way we write.

Introduction Social network is an online platform for users build up profile and a connection with personal network (Lenhart and Madden, 2008). With the popular trend of social network, people changed their way in interpersonal communications. Social networking changed our forms of lives with more bonding. At the same time, it is inventing our lives as an unconscious habitual craving. Some of the social media users even obsessed with the online world and they presumed that social network is the mirror of real world.
The advantages of social media would be to stay in contact with family and friends that are not living close to visit. For example, Facebook is the most viewed media site (Campbell, 2014). It allows people to communicate with people all over the world. Keeping in touch with family via this social media allows pictures to be posted and viewed, videos and other events that would be missed. The disadvantages of social media would be when it’s used inappropriately.
both the advantages and disadvantages of allowing employees to have access to the social networking sites during working hours. Information resource and Fast communication medium It is believed that most of the very successful businesses have the best and fast communication mediums. These forms of communication devices allow employees to surf the internet a high speeds allowing them access to information that in one way or another assists them in solving some of their work problems. Also their access to some social networks e.g. LinkedIn may help them meet new professionals form different fields who can assist them in solving some problems.
I personally depend on TV, News, and Internet to find out what’s hot or not. Because technology is so transient our means of communication and expression has also evolved over the last decades. Current social trends include the craze for plastic surgery, celebrity gossip, reality shows, and social networking sites like MySpace to create friendships. Trends depend on our fast-changing information and technology era to grow, and make it past the fad stage. From the clothes we wear to the music we listen to, they are trends that come and go, and influence us all through our media.
Social media websites have allowed people to make new friends, and have fostered many relationships. The impact of actively participating on social media sites is not always a wise decision; it can affect relationships and peoples reputations. Information disclosed on social networking sites can have a negative effect on relationships compared to more traditional interactions, such as instant messaging or face-to-face interactions. Social media can be a valuable source of connecting people together and enhancing relationships but it can also cause conflict and hurt relationships between people. Many people that use social media have stated that it doesn’t only affect their lives daily, but also their close relationships.
In addition to featuring videos on its site, YouTube makes it easy to share content across an array of social media and websites. (Collins, 2014) The most popular social media tools are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn but the technology is constantly evolving and there are many more available. It is difficult to predict which platforms will maintain their popularity. Whichever platform is used, however, it can be easily accessed by computer, laptop, tablet and smartphone so that communication can be instant and always on hand. (Collins, 2014) The rapid rise in the use of social media is changing the way we communicate with each other at a great pace.
Cyberbullying and Technologies Negative Outcome The internet and social media outlets have allowed our society to communicate instantaneously with long lost family members, co-workers and friends. Although these developments are considered to be a benefit to society, we fail to see its disadvantages. I will site several authors and use their writings to further my findings to take a deeper look into the topic of technologies negative outcome on society, more over Cyberbullying. I found this topic interesting because it is happening all around us every day; it’s in our culture, politics, businesses, even in the way we raise our families. With advances in wireless technology we can go further than ever before.
Everyday, all around the world people are on some kind of social media and or some media platform. There have been many positive aspects to social media, like rekindling friendship and being able to talk to someone with just a couple of clicks of a button, but nowadays social media isn’t has friendly as everyone may think. Crime rates have exponentially increased over the last decade due to the excessive use of social media exploitation, the influence of violence on social media, and terroristic threats from younger/older social media users. Tweets, pictures, and really any other types of post are put on social media simpy to show-off the person's life. This is a place where everyone can see and view any profile they so wish.
In fact, I believe it has given us a more effective way of communicating and engaging with one another especially in our fast-paced society. If I am on a work assignment one of my favorite tools to research is twitter. I find it to be a quick news feed and I usually learn about news first from there before learning it from the mainstream media such as television or radio. And of course facebook has been the staple for me as for many in helping us remain engaged and to keep abreast of graduations, weddings, births or other special events regarding our family and friends. Social media continues to make strides to make communication more accessible and easier for all of us.
