1.Face to Face Connections are Endangered

A huge advantage of these social communities has a reverse side effect that is also a big disadvantage of social networking: they reduce or eliminate face-to-face

socialization.Because of the autonomy afforded by the virtual world, individuals are free to create a fantasy persona and can pretend to be someone else.It is hard to say no, be rude, or ignore someone when you are looking them in the eye.It's incredibly easy and quick to unfriend or unfollow someone or simply block their efforts to make a connection.Just one click of the mouse and your problems are over.Unfortunately, this feature of online socialization cheats people of the opportunity to learn how to resolve conflicts in the world outside the Internet and it could retard or cripple one's social skills developments.Tweens and teens are at higher risk because those years are when they are learning to interact with others or build and maintain relationships.A report from the National School Boards Association shows that of the children in these age groups that use a social network, 41 percent spend their time posting messages.They are not spending this time in face-to-face interactions with their peers or others nor are they developing the necessary social skills for future success.
