Main POINTS

• Social Networks affect young people by the lack of communication skills they have when communicating with others face to face and not through their social networks.

• Social networks are consuming so much time from young peoples daily lives and they aren't even aware of it.

• When on social networks people tend to use lingo, or abbreviations. Which causes you’re grammar and spelling skills to decline to the use of social networks.

• Using social networks to communicate with others about important ideas, or about their feelings can lead to miscommunication, and conflicts.

FACE to FACEAccording to Forbes magazine, “Only 7 percent of communication is based on the verbal word. That means that over 90 percent of communication is based on non verbal causes such as body language, eye contact and tone of voice”.

Time consuming According to Pue internet Statistics:

40% of 8 to 18 year olds spend 54 minutes a day on social media sites. 36% of people surveyed listed social networking as the "biggest waste of time," above fantasy sports (25%), watching TV (23%), and shopping (9%). When alerted to a new social networking site activity, like a new tweet or Facebook message, users take 20 to 25 minutes on average to return to the original task.

“Students who use social media had an average GPA of 3.06 while non-users had an average GPA of 3.82 and students who used social networking sites while studying scored 20% lower on tests. College students’ grades dropped 0.12 points for every 93 minutes above the average 106 minutes spent on Facebook per day.”
