Thomas(2007) said that according to McMillan, Social Networking Sites have “negative impacts” to those who are not into computers or those people whom are afraid to use the computer even for fun due to lack of literacy. These people are now insulated from others because they develop tremendously introverted personalities, because people around them are talking about their Facebook and Twitter accounts and yet they might not have even an email address, so there’s no way for them to relate on other’s people conversation. She (McMillan) further explained that teenagers are easily hooked and addicted into these sites that will eventually affect not just their offline but also their online relationships. Most of the users bring their “experiences” from the virtual to the real world and this is seen how the youths communicate or interact with their friends, parents and mentors.
