In my opinion, social networks are not the best way to keep in touch. Let me explain to you why I think so. First, they can take up too much of your time, so you spend less time on real communication with your family and friends. Second, social networks can ruin privacy, because personal information and photos may become available to other people. That is why I believe that face-to-face communication is better.
