Disadvantages:-

1. Addiction

Addiction is the continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences,or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors.

Addictions can include computer addiction and gambling. Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances.

Physiological dependence occurs when the body has to adjust to the substance by incorporating the substance into its 'normal' functioning.

2. Online

Online distinctions have been generalized from computing into the field of human interpersonal relationships that disturbs the mind of the person.

The distinction between what is considered online and what is considered offline has become a subject of study in the field of sociology.

The distinction between online is conventionally seen as distinction between computer - meditated communication and face – to – face communication (e.g.’ face time).

3. Creating False Profiles

There are millions of profiles on the Facebook. Naturally a lot of evil characters exist, who create the fake profiles to achieve their goals. Those fake profile holders attack innocent people by use of social tactics. It's no secret cops use social media to monitor the public , but it might surprise you that they create fake Facebook profiles to nab criminals - in direct violation of the website's terms of service . The Justice Department published a social media guide for law enforcement officials this year that explicitly says officers create fake profiles even though Facebook officially bans the practice.

Social-Networks: Some interesting

and real facts about fake profiles - It's increasingly common for people on

facebook to play Zynga games. These games

always push you to invite others to join you

in order to progress in the game. Many

people create fake accounts to play these

games so they won't be spamming their real

friends with game status messages. Thus

creation of fake accounts is becoming

increasingly popular on all of the social

media.

Fake profile and ID! Fake profile is one of the biggest disadvantage of Facebook. Now it is easier to create fake profile with a stolen picture. People often use fake profile to insult or harass someone they don't like. Teen girls are more vulnerable to these activities. There are news found that many girls are mentally depressed or committed suicide after being harassed in Facebook.

There are plenty of groups and Fan pages out there which are being created to abuse or violate other religion , personalities , nation etc. This kind of racist disgusting activities is not acceptable in a global site like Facebook. Facebook administrator should take necessary steps against all of these abusing groups & pages.

Facebook chat doesn't work properly. User often face trouble while chatting in Facebook.

News also found that one mother killed her child because it was crying in hunger while she was browsing Facebook, and a husband killed her wife because she changed her relationship status. These acts are rare but could happen in extreme cases.

Rapist's girlfriend who set up fake Facebook accounts pretending to be his victims and making bogus confessions that they LIED. Ceri Shipman of 25 years wrote false

confessions from the victims to herself. Rape victims were arrested after she handed

her 'evidence' to police. One messages said: 'Maybe I did make up

the rape, but he broke my heart’. Jason Savage of 29 years was jailed for nine

years for three rapes and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm.

Applause in Hull Crown Court as Shipman is jailed for two and a half years.

Case Study1:-

Ceri Shipman

Two Sisters from India Lure Facebook User To His Death.

Two sisters from Bangalore, India allegedly lured a budding engineer – Tushar Kumar – to his death in a kidnapping and ransom plot gone terribly wrong.

According to a report on DNAindia.com, the perps – sisters Shivaniand Preeti (using fake names Poorvi and Varsha respectively) got the victim's phone number from his Facebook Page and then called him, falsely claiming to have gotten his contact number from the other popular social network in India – Orkut.

One of the sisters then expressed an interest to be "friends" with Tushar and offered to meet him and "chill out". After the unsuspecting victim and his friend arrived.

4. Chances of viruses on your child –

• Social networks spread social diseases, whether of the biological or the computer kind. When your child's computer catches a social disease, like the Koobface virus that was running rampant on Facebook, it's more than embarrassing it's dangerous.

• The social network virus will first try to infect all of your child's network friends. Then it installs a bit of software that can watch what your child searches for on the Internet's search engines and hijacks the child's browser. Now know about Rakshit Tandon.

Rakshit Tandon

Rakshit Tandon told one very important thing to the world:

VIRTUAL WORLD:IT’S NOT A GAME,IT’S YOUR LIFESTAY SAFE!

Do you remember what Rakshit Tandon told to the World or you want to know again.

Spending your time by social networking behind a keyboard instead of truly socially interacting with people is a huge waste of time. It could also create the environment for some mental disorders down the road. You also deprive yourself the ability to really see the world and people as they are instead of how they wish. Balancing this as with everything in life is the key.Science Daily reported that time spent on the Internet was associated with later declines in within house family communication and a decrease in the number of friends.

Effects of Social Networking on

Education 

Knowledge Collaboration Individuals now have the ability to collaborate and

develop without worrying about physical boundaries of time or space.

Sites’ allows individuals to upload self-produced modules of information, and allows the public to access these modules so they never study and just do social networking.

Students may find it a challenge to decipher what

information on social networking sites is legitimate.

Students may believe that because it is on the Internet, it is

valid.

SUBJECTIVE AND FALSE KNOWLEDGE

The article, “Social Networking’s Good and

Bad Impact on Kids” briefly highlights some of

the research about social networking’s effects

on young people both, positive and negative.

It concludes by encouraging parents to

engage with their children in order to shape

how they use social media. The author seems

to say that parents cannot control their child’s

access, so they might as well try to be positive

and pro-active. Let’s take a look ….

BAD Facts Teens who use Facebook more often

show more narcissistic tendencies.

Young adults who have a strong

Facebook presence show more

signs of other psychological

disorders, including antisocial

behaviours, mania and aggressive

tendencies.

One more BAD Fact

Daily overuse of media and

technology has a negative effect on

the health of all children, preteens

and teenagers by making them

more prone to anxiety, depression,

and other psychological disorders.

Another BAD Fact

Facebook can be distracting

and can negatively impact

learning. Studies found that

middle school, high school and

college students who checked

Facebook at least once during

a 15-minute study period

achieved lower grades.

ON THE BASIS OF THE SURVEY DONE REGARDING SNS IN KHARGHAR, LITTLE WORLD SHOPPING MALL, THE ANALYSIS THAT HAS CAME ABOUT IS

Cons – It should not become an addiction also it can become a

mode of communication for the spread of terrorism, its

waste of time, also there are “n” numbers

of cyber crimes.

AGE GROUP 16-26

Cons – There is no privacy in SNS so most people do

not prefer as it is open to all,

hacking is very common .

AGE GROUP 26-40

Cons – Its of no use as most of them don’t know the use of internet, most of the corporate persons have the fear of getting their confidential issues

regarding their organization to be leaked.

AGE GROUP 40 & Above

Thus we conclude that as everything has its pros and

cons,similarly SNS has its own advantages and disadvantages. But practically thinking, it’s a

necessity for todays fast world. Also for youngsters, it has

become one of the basic necessity like food,

clothing, shelter etc.
