Students
Evan: Social networking sites have a beneficial effect on our way of life, which increase our social interaction and give us more ways to make social connections. As long as the individual remembers and accepts that a decrease in privacy comes with increased social interaction, then it is a benefit. It is not a benefit when people forget about the decrease in privacy and do things through social networking sites that they may not want others to see.
Mint: Social networking sites just allow us to communicate with others and express ourselves easily. These sites help you find people you have not seen in a while, chat without actually going to certain places and learn things that are happening today. We actually express our feelings when we respond on these types of networking sites and interact in every way.
Benjamin: Social networking sites are helpful to us in many ways. Although we waste our time in chatting, we are totally updated with the present news which was happening around us. So, don’t see social networking as a threat but just as the opportunity where we can interact with the people globally. But we should be cautious when we are going to share our personal information. That would affect our career if something goes public.
Experts
James: Social networking sites are nothing more than tools for narcissists. Social networking sites are increasing in popularity but are really destroying natural and healthy interpersonal relationships and fostering ignorance of the human condition. Take this example, recently two girls fell into a sewer and though they had their cell phones with them, they didn’t have the common sense to call for help, instead they just updated their Facebook pages until someone figured out they were in trouble and called help for them.
Lily: Once security is not protected on a certain website and can be hacked into, pictures can be downloaded and put up on sites without the owner’s allowance. Many murders have been committed online. It is dangerous for kids of age 12 to pretend they are 20 on a social network or to accept friend requests from strangers.
Steve: Social networking sites serve as a lazy way to see and talk to friends and family. Why do we need a mediator for relationships we currently have and why do we always use the excuse for these sites— they help me stay more connected to people? How? And I’m not talking about people that are far away.
I’m talking about the friends and family you have right here in town. As a young man of the "younger generation", I am looking around and seeing that people are becoming so "zombified" when out and about. People, as a general rule, now find it rather hard to communicate with one another—far too many people seem to prefer having their heads stuck into their phones "tweeting".

答案
Is Social Network Beneficial? The development and expansion of the Internet has enabled the main technological and cultural revolutions in social media. A heated discussion has aroused as to whether the benefits of social network outweigh its disadvantages. Quite a number of people embrace the introduction of social network in their life. They maintain that social network improves their lives in a variety of aspects. For example, with the help of social network, people are able to keep in touch with people that they meet at different points in their lives and reconnect with old friends and acquaintances that they may have not seen in years for various reasons. Online social media help bridge previously insurmountable physical distances. However, other people find social network an intrusion or threat to people’s normal way of life. They hold that social network may insulate us from the people that surround us. Although these platforms make communication easier with those far away, they can have the opposite impact on our relationships with the people we live with. Balancing the views from the two sides, I tend to agree with the former one. To start with, it has to be admitted that there are some drawbacks of social network as mentioned above, however, with healthier online habits and cautious awareness of online usage, the disadvantages can be minimized or even avoided. Despite the benefits mentioned, social network also provides academic research to a wider audience, allowing many people to have access to previously unavailable educational resources. What’s more, social network sites offer teachers a platform for collaboration with other teachers and communication with students outside the classroom. The last but not least, thanks to the social network, some people and small companies can gain visibility for their products and creations without having to invest much in advertising. Social network is also a very effective way to find a job, a business partner or an employee. To conclude, there is no doubt that its benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Social network shouldn’t be prohibited because of its drawbacks just as we shouldn’t stop eating for fear of choking.
