Social networking is a way to
connect with different people on a social level but can also be a way to connect
on a professional level. Many companies use social networking technologies such
as LinkedIn, "a network of 8 million professionals spread across the
world", to find suitable candidates for certain positions. They can use the
site to filter out candidates and see their job experiences through their
profile as a way of online recruiting. Social networking technology has done recruiters
from companies a great deal of help in a more efficient way.
Social networking technologies
increase social activity among individuals. They can connect with people they
never met with the same interest and develop a friendship. In addition, messaging
on social networking sites can help build and maintain strong relationships
with others. A very poplar social networking site is Facebook. It allows others
to see posts and pictures from their friends list and keep up with current
events and activities. If there is a friend you have not talked to lately or is
living in another country, sending them a message online is a fast and efficient
way of communication. Social networking technologies provide easy communication
access, which help others develop socializing skills.
However, the increase of interaction
between people over the internet can lead to society no longer engaging in
face-to-face contact with each other. Socializing online and in person is
completely different. In addition, instead interacting physically, people can video
chat with each other. Future generations might not know how to interact with
others in person. Another problem to this is that people are occupied with
social networking technologies indoors that they may not experience the outdoor
lifestyle and environment interaction.
