Social Networking
A network is defined as “a group or system of interconnected people or things”. It is like
an invisible thread which are connects you with your family, friends, and relatives. In the
computer world, network refers to the group of two or more computers connected by
physical or wireless connections.
You must have heard people use the terms like a social person, a
social butterfly, etc. A social person or being social is often used
for those who like to be around people or who are friendly with
everyone. They like to go to parties and spend time with people.
Social networking allows people with common interests or
activities to connect with each other. They are an immense store
of knowledge and information as experiences of people from
across the world are shared. However, these services are generally
considered a source of distraction from education for students.
