It allows people to make communications easier than before. Now in this fast world communication were mostly done with the help of social networks. Some of the social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Vkontakte act as a mediator in between two users for communication. And also it is place where we can get ride from our tensions. In the mean while there are many advantages as well as many disadvantages are there with the social networks.

Firstly, let's talk about advantages of social networks. Social networks help us to improve our communicating skills and make us to speak and share our opinions with other people. Many of the students and youths where improving their English with the help of social networks. We can cool our mind with the help of the social networks. We can communicate with our friends, relatives and it doesn’t' matter where they are situated. And of course, they allow us to share our photos, videos and music with others.

But obviously there are also disadvantages of social networks. In my opinion, the main disadvantage from the social networks is that they make the users to addict in it. On a report based on the Facebook study is telling that an average teenager spends more than 60 hours a month in front of the Facebook. With fake accounts or with fake profiles many of them where victimed in many cheating activities. Lack of knowledge about their social networking profile also make many of them to lose their profile. This is some of the disadvantages which is found on the social networking sites and where already reported.

Social networks has a good role in the development of the social skills and communicative skills but on the other hand it is making the users not to think about their practical world.
