Literature review

Significance of My Topic:Our present world is totally scientific and modern. Each and everyday we

discover new item. Our communication system is totally change today.

Different types of social networking site is going to be a main

communication way like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc. The main reason

is that people always using the language which is grammatically erroneous

and also some short cut or wrong spelling words for their communication

via social network. Using these types of error words for two or three years

and may be long times they will forget the right one. As a result, they will

professional life.

BACKGROUND Early social networking on the World Wide Web began in the form of

generalized online communities such as Theglobe.com (1995), Geocities (1994)

and Tripod.com (1995). Many of these early communities focused on bringing

people together to interact with each other through chat rooms, and

encouraged users to share personal information and ideas via personal

WebPages by providing easy-to-use publishing tools and free or inexpensive

web space.

This newer generation of social networking sites began to flourish with the

emergence of SixDegrees.com in 1997,followed by Make outclub in 2000,Hub

Culture and Friend ster in 2002, and soon became part of the Internet

mainstream. Friendster was followed by MySpace and LinkedIn a year later,

and eventually Bebo. Attesting to the rapid increase in social networking sites'

popularity, by 2005, it was reported that MySpace was getting more page views

than Google. Facebook launched in 2004, became the largest social networking

site in the world in early 2009.

HYPOTHESISUsing erroneous words in social networking site since

many years will creates bad effect in our future life.

Independent Variable is using erroneous words in

social networking

INTERVIEW TO A STUDENT OF NORTH SOUTH UNIVERSITY

Age 22

unconsciously they write the wrong one.

Interview to a employer

Age 41

Not always but sometime he use correct word and

sometime short cut and wrong spelling words.

Not actually always but sometime unconsciously

they write the wrong one.

Discussion and ConclusionMy research on this topic is more of a follow up research. The

research tools that I have used returned me the findings that doesn’t

support my hypothesis strongly.

I found that people especially teenage are very much attracted with

social networking.

Maximum people are using erroneous sentence.

But the point is they know the right one though they use error words.

Little or huge that not matter they face problem.

Finally, I came up with to the end that using erroneous sentence,

wrong spelling or short cut word create problem very small.

ReferenceI used to researches as my reference for the Background part and
