  • In a bid to make technology affordable accessible to all the people.this kind of social networks or the mobile apps stole the show...
    but the point to be understood here is..bullying shaming criticizing has become a integral part online...
    the gap between the virtual and real world is increasing drastically and the young people must understand that...their will be some two faced people and they do have two tongues..i mean...the personality of an individual will not be the same online and offline...he/she may lie...how would one know without facing the other,the time you realize the truth nothing will be in your hands...so before taking any tough decisions in life thinking once again is never waste of time..
    -recently i read about an app which would rate him accordingly (weight of the person)...will anyone agree if any such apps come and talk about people who ha s some other kind of disorder ..then why only a obese person should undergo this.i mean it will kill them..
    -and again it comes violence against women..whatever may the the change in our society it will somehow in some or the other way is making women fall a prey for it..cyber crimes is the best things...every month thousands of cases are registered against the cyber criminals.
    -man is day by day becoming a factual person which means that he is making a difference and getting drifted by it though.losing his stability and ability to withstand real life circumstances.

  • Mobile social network like any other technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. The messaging apps in the mobiles are good as far as they are used purposefully, whereas the same becomes a pest to human life when it becomes an addiction. Human beings should always remember the fact that we should rule the technology and never let the technology rule us.

    The mobile social network is definitely good in keeping people connected and linked with each other. The services that they offer to be used with the internet pack is really appreciable. The world has come closer with these apps. Gone are the days when people used to switch on their PC and come on to the chat option for getting connected. The mobile messaging apps have made life far more comfortable and video and audio messages have given a personal touch to the chat interaction. A whole lot of the internet services wiz sending and receiving data, audio or video just on the messaging app is applaudable.

    When we come on to the disadvantages, the first and foremost that strikes every mind is the addiction especially amongst the children and youth. The young generation could hardly sense life beyond these messaging apps. They feel altogether crippled in the absence of these apps. It hardly matters how often or how long its been meeting a person, the young generation wakes up with these apps and sleeps with the same. It has been a more severe form of infection that has spread the human minds and polluted them, making them their slaves. Another disadvantage being the number of similar apps which has made difficult to remain connected within a single application.

    Though the disadvantages are as alarming causing the health hazards, still we cannot deny the benefits of these mobile messaging apps which has made the facility of getting connected in groups and have a group conversation and interaction. The world has become a beautiful place to live-in with these apps. All we need is to teach the relevance and limitations of usage of the technology to the children and young population.
