Boon or bane?

One of the biggest questions in modern times is “Are social networking sites a boon or bane?” My personal opinion is, both. Social networking connects countless people from around the world. Through these sites, we have learned about different cultures that exist in different parts of the world. But there are people who use it for the wrong reasons. Cyber crimes are reported every now and then. We have to take steps to create awareness about the good and bad points of social networking and make best use of the positives.
