People cities or continents apart can keep in touch so effortlessly, creating an opportunity to experience different cultures.3.Political LandscapesSocial media has developed greater political awareness and organization, which has in some cases rewritten entire political landscapes. It has particularly vie a large part in the Iran elections, and Obamas reelection for a second term as US President, and inspired the political unrests in Egypt.4.Learning Actually, learning is a two way process. Social media has also play a large part in development literacy. Children who start using the platforms develop early communication skills, and generally become more literate. This is an encouraging trend, and thanks to the huge availability of information, both simplistic and compound on the internet, anyone can become as smart or intelligent as they desire.5.Marketing The whole dynamics of marketing have been changed. People can do his business sitting in his own home. In a few m inutes, they check the sample online and give order for delivery. They are able to understand the need of the market from the market itself, greatly altering the way marketing has been done in the past.AdvantagesThese modern engineering science has become our life very easy. It has removed the distance between the people. Due to this reason, people are invariably in a contact and share their feeling with one another. Its make the world as a globe. We aware every time from all breaking news that what is doing in our country at this time. As different part of the world advance at different pace in education, business, tourism and so on, people tend to migrate from place to place for varying reasons, ranging from business-related reasons to pleasure-related reasons. This act of migration causes families, friends, lovers, and other related people to stay separated by distance.It would be quite emotionally worrying for one to find out that he or she would be either temporarily or per manently away from his or her family. There could be mental effects associated with being away from home. Most people go through a period of initial depression, cultural shock, or homesickness no matter how well they are prepared. The temporary feelings of abstracted ones family, home environment, friends, etc along with the initial cultural shock, and readjustment to your new life could be frightening. Though cannot replace the feeling of being home with ones family in person, the technology of Skype has made it possible for many people to make free internet voice and video calls. People allow for worry less about cost and converse in a relaxed manner.Video-chats, such that Skype technology provides, could go a long way in maintaining the friendly bond in such cases. Social networking can enrich social lives for those separated from family and friends by long distances, bringing them together despite the physical separation. This has been observed in a number of people in the a rmed forces that use Skype, Facebook, and twitter to stay in touch.Though the world is quite large, it now seems small due to social networking. People from different parts of the globe can connect to other people in other parts of the world, exchanging information and pleasantries. The future(a) of social networking will have the world to seem even smallerDisadvantagesThere are eternally two sides of every coin. Mostly people do not use this technology properly. Social media is just a tool or mean for people to use. It is still up to the users on how to use this tool (just like a knife, can help you to cut food or hurt others). Pew query Centers Internet American Life Project and Elon Universitys Imagining the Internet Center conducted a study on The future of Online Socializing from the highly engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey consisted of 895 technology stakeholders and critics. The new generation people send packing their a lot of time on face book daily. due to this reason, they can not get their aim of his future. The negative effects presented by the respondents included time spent online robs time from important personal relationships the internet fosters mostly thin relationships the act of leveraging the internet to engage in social connection exposes private information the internet allows people to silo themselves, limiting their exposure to new ideas and the internet is being used to engender intolerance.Some respondents also highlighted that there will be development of some new psychological and medical syndromes that will be variations of depression caused by the lack of meaningful quality relationships, and a new world society. The term, Social Networking, has begun to deceive the users to believe they are social creatures. For instance, spending a couple of hours using Farmville and chatting with friends concurrently does not convert into social skills. People become dependent on the technology and immers e how to socialise in face-to-face context. The online personality of a person might be totally different from his/her offline character, causing disorder when the two personalities meet. It is apparent in online dating when the couple gets together in face-to-face for the first time. Their written profiles do not clearly represent their real-life characters. It is more inviting for people to type something that others pauperization to hear than saying the truth.Besides the friendship, creators of social networking sites and users redefine the term, privacy in the Internet as well. The argufy in data privacy is to share data while protecting personally identifiable information. nearly any information posted on social networking sites is permanent. Whenever someone posts pictures or videos on the web, it becomes viral. When the user deletes a video from his/her social network, someone might have kept it and then posted it onto other sites like YouTube already. People post photogr aphs and video files on social networking sites without thinking and the files can reappear at the mop up possible time.TableConclusion Todays social media have helped make real the idea of a global village. Social media has changed the way people communicate. Social medias greatest change to the way people communicate is user-produced content and the fast and flexible sharing of this content Though the world is quite large, it now seems small due to social networking. People from different parts of the globe can connect to other people in other parts of the world, exchanging information and pleasantries. The future of social networking will have the world to seem even smaller. Everything has some positive aspects as well as negative so does the social media. But it contributes a lot to the human being in different forms from small scale to a large scale in every field.1http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media (accessed 4 13sunday, 2014).
