*Social networking sites have had a positive influence on relationships:

Social networking nowadays has had such a big influence on our lives whether it’s been good or bad. We use social networking nowadays to communicate with our loved ones, to do research, to help us with studying and we also use it to make new friends and in our everyday life. However, we don’t often realise that it could have a bad influence in our lives and mainly on relationships.

I agree with the above statement because of the fact that social networking has made it easier for us to communicate with our loved ones. Especially using applications such as Skype and social networking sites such as Facebook to keep up to date with what they do and that’s what I’m keeping in touch with my family by these programme’s to talk to them daily. They are also good for building new friendships and benefiting from the fact that it is easy to access information. I still know some of my friends who I met on Facebook and we keep updating each other and some of them have been to my country. Even I went to their countries such as Spain and United Arab Emirates.

I disagree with the above statement because of the fact that social networking does cost a lot of money when it comes to paying the Internet bills. Most people do not realize that when spending time on the Internet socializing or when spending money on getting data from their phones, but if you add it all up it all costs a lot of money to run. It is also bad in that social networking can sometimes ruin relationships as it is easy to hack websites and emails these days and if someone wants to ruin a relationship between two people then they easily can by posting something on behalf of them or sending something to one another without asking for the permission of that person.

In conclusion, social networking sites have had a positive influence on relationships. I agree with the statement because they made it easier to communicate with friends and family and it is easier to make new friendships through social networking sites. However I disagree with this statement because social networking sites can sometimes ruin relationships through hacking and paying for the Internet is expensive.
