Pros
Social networking sites have become the easier way of communication to your friends, family, or colleagues. One example is that instead of meeting in a certain place, me and my classmates could discuss a school activity by having a conference in a certain site that we are all members of, thus saving you time and effort. Example like using yahoo messenger and Skype. The idea of socializing with millions of people of different backgrounds excite the Web surfers. This is one thing that we can hardly do outside the virtual world.
Cons
While social networking sites have become places for establishing connections and meeting friends, they have also become likely places for identity theft and fraud. As you have to provide certain information such as your e-mail address, name, and location, others use these information and pretend to be you, especially when they are into illegal activities. Furthermore, someone pretending to be somebody else can make us believe that he or she is up to some business offer, ask to meet up, and take our money. It has also become easier for someone to stalk and harass us online.
So its better to take precautions in the kind of people that we should trust and share some information about ourselves. Be extra careful okay!!!!
