webpages by providing easy to use publishing tools and free or inexpensive
web space. The class mates communicate via email addresses.

late 1990’s.It allows users to compile a list of “Friends” and search for
other users with similar interests.

years. The people have been spending a lot of time on the internet in
general but much more on the social networking sites in specific. This point
is much interesting that all age of people use social networking.

an actual clinical disorder. The social networking can also affect the extent
to which a person feels lonely.

Reduction in real human contact

sites, the less time they will spend socializing in person with
others. . They will not be able to communicate and socialize
effectively in person with others. The employers are getting
more and more unsatisfied with the communication skills of
the fresh graduates due to this reason.

their life in enjoying the social networking while in real sense it
is not so. The just rely on some theoretical working and when
they come out in their practical life they are less effected than a

motivation of those students.

Effect on health:
• The excessive use of these sites affects the mental as well as physical health.

Health can be maintained by proper food and proper sleeping but
unfortunately students do not care for their health and in the result they got

of coffee or tea to remain active and focused which effects negatively on
their health.
