Problems with social networking

We all know how wonderful social networking is—how we’re all in touch with each other and updated on each other’s lives. Sometimes, we know even more about people who live abroad than those who live right next door. But some problems have come about because of all the sharing and connectivity too..........

As you see everyone’s connections and friendships, how people comment and like everyone else’s posts and not yours, how people get in touch with you only when they want you to like their photo so they can win a contest, and so on.
