1. First of all, what are social networking services?

Social networking service (also social networking site or SNS) is a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who share activities, backgrounds, interest, or sometimes their real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his or her social links, and a variety of additional services. Social network sites are web-based services that allow individuals to create a public profile, to create a list of users with whom to share connections, and view and cross the connections within the system. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Social network sites are varied and they incorporate new information and communication tools such as mobile connectivity, photo/video/sharing and blogging. Online community services are sometimes considered a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, interests with people in their network. These social networking services would be used among large category places such as classmates or workplace to connect with their friends.

  1. It would be better for you to cite some sources and give a bit of historical context to this question by telling about the features of the first SNS and explaining how they developed over time. One book that I've read that gave me a lot of insight about this question was _The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World_ by David Kirkpatrick. It shows how Zuckerberg went from starting a small-scale private networking site at Harvard when he was a student to his creation of an international virtual empire.

  2. I think the development of SNS is unavoidable. Thanks to it, we can contact with our friends or family much easier than before. Besides, we can connect with people who we hasn't met before. However, more strict restrictions or rules should be put to SNS by the compaies, parents and schools to avoid crimes related with network system. I also think one of the biggest problem of SNS -bullying- is caused by children's recent life styles. Many children tend to stay at home these days, so I think they have nothing to do except bullying people on the Internet to be satisfied theirselves. I think it is important role of parents and teachers to help children find something they can be absorbed in like club activities or some hobbies.

  3. In my opinion if we use social network in proper way, social network enrich our life. We can gather information from SNS, and connect with friend, even though she or he is far from me. Who could imagine such a situation some years ago? This is so useful. But I know that some problem, for example cyber bulling, exist. In order to let all of users be willing to use SNS, we should take some steps. I think bulling in a school have connection to cyber bulling. People who is bullied in a class is bullied on SNS. So firstly we should deal with bulling in a class.
