We make use of the social networking sites on a daily basis. It brings to us new ideas and news from all across the globe.

Technology has taken over humans in a way that is shocking and mind-boggling. The internet then came into play and took over people’s lives in unimaginable ways. What is really freaky is how the young don’t know the difference between the real and virtual, usually thinking that they mean the same. The erosion of the real world is something that must really be the concern of our times.
Language has gone for a toss, boss!
The first thing that bothers us a lot is the language of the digital natives. The general internet culture has also had its effect on the English language, which breaks our heart.

This affects children in their studies as well because they do not seem to know the real spelling at all.
