Social networking has provided individuals with helpful resources, for instance to cope with loneliness by connecting with a variety of like individuals. One can also examine social networking sites, such as Instagram and Facebook in affecting ones perception; what is real and what is not, and how does that affect ones mood and behavior?. What are the consequences of social networking? Are there positive consequence and do they outweigh the negative? Further research must be conducted to formulate a feasible theory on whether or not social networking has an effect on human behavior and our psyche.
