Just like everything else, social networking has a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages. It allows you to keep in touch with friends and IT'S usually free to use (if there is) so long as you have a smartphone or computer and the Internet. A while ago, one of my old co-workerS who I had lost contact WITH for a couple of years texted me and I was so glad and happy. AS WELL AS THIS It also allows you to find people with similar interests. For me, Instagram allows me to get (some information and knowledge) TO KNOW AND LEARN from people who have the same interests AS ME, like ketogenic dietS and (workout) WORKING OUT (as me 'word order'). (Or) NOT ONLY THIS BUT you can promote a business or product easily to many people. (But) HOWEVER social networking can be quite dangerous. There is a strong risk of identity theft. People often post personal information on these sites which anyone can use for illegal purposes. Some people EVEN become addicted to social networking, which is unhealthy. Even though I don’t spend (many) MUCH (time is an uncountable noun so use much) time on Instagram, (but - you don't need this with although/even though) I usually check it twice or three times a day. Being online all day keeps someone from going out and talking to people in person. All in all, it comes down to how you (takes it to) MANAGE/DEAL WITH social media in day to day life.
