II.Read the text and circle the best answer (0,8pt)
One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact
with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long,
tapping messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers
feel more comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is
easier to chat on the Internet because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones
or computer. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of
parents are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture, they also
don't know how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even
be aware that a problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more immediately
engaging with the teenager's life than parents are, and this fact makes virtual communication
feels more "real" than face-to-face communication.
