For instance, when our parents or someone belongs to relatives get the bad problems, we can get urgent calls of their about some those crucial issues and their location as well, or when we need to discuss an outing, like what we eat for dinner, where we go, or ask them out someday, we just make a call or send a message, and they will respond, so that it doesn't take a long time for us to know the answers. Secondly, it has access to new information quickly. How much information will be released in a day, and how do we update it? We need through on social media, where the newest news are always posted, from politics, education, sports, etc. If we want to find or read information of entertainment, we can access pages such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. And it shows all those of news about topics we are interested in, so we will save a little money to buy newspapers like before.

However, it still exists disadvantages that can affect directly to children who are unaware of what it is and gradually fall victim to these harmful. Accessing social networks too soon leads to a natural shortage of skills.
