2. Body Paragraph 3
2.1. Disagreed that users cannot use these sites to network professionally. -Miscommunication occurs easily through communicating with people indirectly using social networking sites because we tend to misinterpret the actual message brought up by others through text. -When we deal matters with people through social networking sites, the absence of facial expression, tone of voice, body language and eye contact, we have very little help to discern what others are trying to express (Ritter M, 2015).
2.2. For example, if two employees are given instructions to move a new stock delivery into the warehouse, one employee may interpret those instructions as requiring the product to be put on the shelves while the other employee determines that the product need only be placed in the warehouse off the loading dock. Hence, the company needs to provide detailed instructions along with training employees to seek clarification of directions in order to cut down on misinterpretation.
2.3. -Therefore, we are adviced to communicate face-to-face rather than communicating through social networking site because we can deliver our ideas at one go.

4. Conclusion
4.1. In a nutshell, social networking sites have innumerable pros and cons. Based on my opinion is, that social networking sites are fundamental a very good thing, because we have all our friends, no matter how far they are away, “around” you. I use some networks almost every day but I try not to post too much information about my location or my plans. Despite the disadvantages, I will still use my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., because sometimes I need to get information about the things that I am interested in. Therefore, we are advise to use networks or in general personal stuff wisely, so that it will not be a problem if we share something with people we like.
