Online social networking is an extension of our community and a way of allowing us to connect with people from other communities. It allows us to easily keep in touch with distant friends and relatives. It gives people an opportunity to socialise from their own homes, at any time, but does not necessarily encourage them to stay at home rather than going out. Instead it means friends can talk to each other more easily (and often more cheaply as online messages are free) to arrange social events. Online social networking helps to make our communities stronger by building relationships and aiding communication.
