Conclusion What we want to say is that…..

Social network helps in connecting millions of people.

It is a platform where people from different culture

come together and share their thoughts, photo,

video, etc..,

For some people Social network has become an

indispensible part of their life.

For some others, their profession is based either

directly or indirectly on it. But there are thousands of people who has lost their

lives to it. Many peoples waste lots of time on it and

loose their life.

Social network has its own advantages and

disadvantages. So, it’s better to play on the safer side

and benefit from its fruitful advantages and stay in

touch with our friends.
