Social networking sites are disasters. Social networking sites are nothing more than tools for narcissists. Social networking sites are increasing in popularity but are really destroying natural and healthy interpersonal relationships and foster ignorance of the human condition. Take this example, recently two girls fell into a sewer and though they had their cells phones with them, didn't have the common sense to call for help, instead they just updated their Facebook pages until someone figured out they were in trouble and called help for them.
Social networking sites are also a huge waste of time! In June, 2012 over 121 billion minutes were spent on social networking sites! All these minutes used on liking someone's photo could be used to get outside and enjoy the wonderful country that we live in. Everyone is saying that obesity is a problem but I think if people actually got out of their computer chair and did something with their life we wouldn't have this problem. I therefore believe that social networking sites are not benefiting us and our way of life.
