Seminar on Social-Networking

In the era of Globalization, the entire world has become one small global village. Speaking on globalization Chairman, Dr M.A. Zahir said that information and technology has played a prominent role in globalization. Various social networking sites have brought together people of similar likings on one single platform. He said that Synetic Business School this year will train more than 7000 school students in social networking technology.

Assistant Professor Paramjeet Singh from computer science department briefed that a social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. 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 networking sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, and interests with people in their network. Popular methods now combine many of these, with American-based services such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter widely used worldwide. He also cautioned against the misuse of these social networking platforms. It is a technology for the people to come into a virtuous cycle of knowledge and awareness not a vicious cycle of rumors and character assassinations.
