They can also use social networking and virtual worlds website to send a message or memo to a group of people at a convenient time. The benefit of these technologies to society is that it lets people communicate easily. You can speak to family members that are in another state or country. It can also let people who have trouble socializing and meeting people to break that barrier of shyness. I don't think there is a darkside to social networking and virtual worlds. In the future, who knows what new features will be shown. I believe everything that can be done has been done when it comes to social networking and virtual networking sites is done but i can be wrong.
