• Another thing is, we are tricked and trapped to download the malicious software. We don't know which link leads us to where. Every one of us experienced this. Right?
• Likes, sharing, posting and updating. These are the key points in any social network. They may cause us trouble by disturbing us mentally.
• Addiction - When someone is addicted to the social networks, they are unable to dwell in the real world. This is because of the colorful and attractive interface of the social sites. This will lead to distractions and short temper.
• Connection with the family and friends weakens. Those who are true caring people in your life, they are missed if they aren't on any social site. Relationships will diminish and thoughtfulness falls to zero.

If we became a puppet in their hands, they will play with us. If we learn to control them, everything is under control. There will be no need to say a lie after lie, everything will be crystal clear.
