Social Networking

In the societal aspect, social networking has undoubtedly bridged the communication gap between friends and families through out long geographic distances. It has also created and joined communities of people with similar interests as well as significantly increasing society's opportunity for networking.

The dark side can be the difficulty with separating work and pleasure. Social networking within corporations can pose as a challenge to productivity and the possibility of increase in HR related problems. Another dark side is that many times through the use of these social sites we become easy targets for predators such as stalkers, personal enemies etc...and in consequence we maybe giving up some of our privacy rights.
