What percentage of internet users are registered on social networking sites?



I am writing a debate for an english essay for school. The argument is:

"The benefits of social networking sites outweigh the negative points"

and I am FOR the motion.



If you can answer the questions and/or add another point towards the motion would be great =)



Thank you! Lisa xoWhat percentage of internet users are registered on social networking sites?
The benefits do outweigh the negatives as in getting to interact with people (if you want to call it that , even tho you do not know them) from different parts of the world , find old friends , chat to people all day long , join interest groups , blog for your friends or family (as in if they the other side of the world they can see pics of you on special occassions) , get advice , help others , and probably the most important for people is they get a sense of belonging (as in they shy face to face ) but the negatives are making people lazy (as in staring at a screen all day) , not knowing how to interact with other people (in real life) oh and the biggest is meeting people of it as this is by far the BIGGEST mistake of all as it is a big bad world out there and not every one is rosy and jolly as it is easy to type anything onto a screen
