Rebuttal to Social Networking

In objection to Ashli's con against social networking, I believe social networking is a good way for teens to communicate. In response to Ashli',
" we can talk to everyone we want to all at once but can not interact with them physically."
If people are using social networking, they may not want to interact physically with the person they are talking to. They may be talking online with the person because it does not cost money. It may be a long distance friendship that allows them to communicate with each other at no cost. With such distance, social networking does not allow the talkers to interact but they can still communicate and keep in touch. To oppose Ashli, social networking is just a place to be social, not to interact. Interaction happens in the real world, but plans can be made to interact on social networks. Seeing someone in person is a different story. Just speaking online is to talk. They may just want to speak to each other because it is easier.
Social Networking can be opened to stalkers because people share their information online with all their "friends". It is not rule that you must share personal information. If you are too afraid to do it then leave it blank. People complain about social networking because privacy is invaded, but there is no invasion of privacy if you don't share it.
Her quote,
And where families and close ones seeing the stuff they wouldn’t think you will do
 This would be a good thing for families and friends to keep in touch. Again, if you do not want people knowing about your business, don't reveal it to the public.Opinions made are, stalkers can easily get to you by looking at posts related to you and seeing someone in first person is worth the time. The stalkers claim is an opinion because you should not add anyone you don't know anyway. Also there are more private methods of communicating with social networking such as chat or messaging. Going to meet someone first person is another opinion because the time may not be worth it. It is an opinion to think that the time wasted to meet someone, is worth it. Things may turn out the wrong way. Speaking online, is easier than speaking in person.
