**Social Network sites connect or disconnect?**
Social networking sites like Facebook is a MUST in nowadays, almost every one has at least one signed up. Myself, I have a Facebook account as well, and I personally dont really like to use it that much! I do not like to update my life and share with people, because it's privacy, I dont need to announce to everyone what am I doing. So I do not put change status or upload picture like my friends, they check their page every seconds with their smart phones! However, Facebook does help people with connection and sort of stay relationship. The thing i like about facebook is that you get to check out on others, you can see what is your friends have been up to and see their pictures and new status even you do not talk to them often or see them. Moreover, the best thing about facebook is you get to RE-connect with your old friends or people you lost connect for long time. For example, this just happend to me 2 days ago, I found my best friend in grade 3 & 4 through facebook, i was so HAPPY and thank FACEBOOK, cause without it i would not found my friend and friends!so facebook ( social networking sties) surely is a great way to make connection with people.

However, in someway I do think social networking sites are disconnected, because I was talk about this with my friend that remember when we were young, we used to talk on the phone EVERY SINGLE NIGHTS, even we saw each other at school EVERYDAY but we still call each other and just talk whatever. But now, not anymore, people do not call as often as used to be. Instead, they just msg through MSN or leave msg on the WALL like facebook. I found this really sad!Because people sort of lost that kind of connection with people. They rather leave msg instead talking to u in person or on phone, this also make friend ship apart as well. Therefore, I think social networking sites are both connected and disconnected.
