The following is a discussion on social networks, their negative effects and some possible solutions. I agree that social networks have had negative effects on our lives. Social networks have caused people to be less social, because they can just talk to people online instead of in person. Social networks also cause people to be more selfish and self-centered because they think that everything is about them and how much attention they get from it. People are also becoming addicted to social networking sites, and I believe that this addiction will continue unless we find a way to stop it soon. There are many ways that we can help this problem. One of them is by encouraging people not to spend so much time on the computer or cell phone. Another way would be to provide counseling services for those who need help with their addiction problems. We could also try making it illegal for employers not to hire people who spend too much time online or texting while at work.
