"Social Media is about sociology and brain research more than innovation" said by Principal of Future Works, Brian Solis.1 Right from the earliest starting point, Sociologists perceive the on-screen characters and their dynamism as imperative part in network sociology in The Cyber age. Pertinent, Hawthorne researchers contemplated the impacts of casual communication long previously. They had recognized the beneficial results of 'grapevine' on ties performance, deftness in the organization. So also, social researchers mindful of social network services, they had pronounced network as a means of communication and cohesion to individuals, just as reinforce the solidarity of the general population. Conceptually, changing dimensions of Cyber Sociology demands social observation and consideration. The promotion of social network has influenced numerous young users to belong to the SNS plenty and examining the pattern worth fulfilling. Truth be told, a non-intervention survey research not just depicts the changing communication pattern prominent among young students, yet in addition portrays the impacts of individuals as far as perception and activities. Traditionally, the Micro sociological methodology upheld social development at personal dimension, i.e., when individuals developed socially, social development comes to pass. Transcendently the Chicago school of humanist guarded this technique overwhelmingly. Scholars, for example, C.H. Cooley, George Herbert Mead, and Irving Goffman have effectively delineated job, performance and interaction of social on-screen characters intricately in sociological terms. Terribly, the Social Construction hypotheses bolster the SNS show so to investigate this in sociological terms. Over everything, meaningful social interaction store social capital that social network sites fit for broadening. This can prompt development both at the individual dimension and in the general public.

In the order of sociology the concept of 'social network' alludes to a social structure made up of people who are connected to one another and have a mind boggling set of relationships or ties between themselves. Henceforth in the study of social relationships the analyses of the job of social network accept noteworthiness. Today social network analysis has turned out to be one of the significant ideal models in contemporary sociology. A social network is a collection of people connected together by a lot of relations. Online social networking sites 'for all intents and purposes' connect people, who might 'know' one another. Accordingly, they empower quick and video. Consequently, the inward base for the creation of SNS is only the concept of social network. Social Networking Sites can be extensively characterized as internet-based social spaces designed to encourage communication, collaboration, and content sharing crosswise over networks of contacts. Social Networking Sites allow users to manage, construct and speak to their social networks online. Individuals utilize Social Networking Sites for incalculable activities of which the most common uses incorporate connecting with existing networks, making and creating friendships/contacts, making an online nearness for their users, seeing content/discovering information, making and modifying profiles and so on. Social Networking Sites are typically comprised of different people; they may likewise incorporate profiles of occasions, organizations and even political gatherings. These Social Networking Sites have quickly picked up ubiquity. By 2013, comprehensively dynamic enrollments on Social Networking Sites had achieved 1.73 billion.

Wikipedia characterizes a Social Networking Site as an online stage that centers on building and reflecting social networks or social relations among individuals who share interests and activities. Social Networking Sites, E-mail, texting, view-and photograph sharing sites and remark posting are for the most part tolls those assistance individuals to impart and socialize with one another. The online social networking revolution, seen in such sites as MySpace and Facebook, has concentrated attention on sharing information about one's personal life, however social networking likewise offers the possibility to encourage the trading of musings and thoughts and hence casual learning. Social networking sites allow individuals to effectively fashion connections with others where none recently existed, for example, ties crossing physical, geographic, institutional, and organizational limits. Social networking sites have changed the notion of the World Wide Web from the page representation to a model predicated on micro content; content obstructs that can be spared, abridged, tended to, replicated, cited, and incorporated with new tasks. society. Since, "The evolution of social orders is joined by a development in size and multifaceted nature that results in specialization, differentiation, and a corresponding requirement for integration of the parts" similarly as with Herbert Spencer's natural relationship of society do. On the other, social network point of view empowers in connecting our perplexing, heterogeneous, human culture through mediated communication innovation. Like "social pandemic" social network spread thoughts or behavior rapidly around social connections that they have real impact on young users behavior, in light of the fact that "The connections among individuals in a social group structure a structure, along with it information and impact can be followed". Furthermore, 'network' offering ascend to 'network analysis' to study network that was 'lost', 'spared' 'freed' and 'quickened' contentions. "Network analysis, which became out of the micro sociological tradition, connects the dabs between the individual and society… Sociologists often study networks of unique individuals [and their influence], however network analysis can likewise be connected to networks of groups or organizations". Since, "Social network analysis offers the methodology to investigate social relations; it reveals to us how to conceptualize social networks and how to dissect them". Here and there to sociology, social network connects micro and full scale dimensions of sociological substances through strong and feeble ties. By and by, there is quandary in configuring SNS innovation properly to the social values of the people, since social esteem must run hand in hand with mechanical development of society. In addition, one can say that "innovative improvement is viewed as being formed by social, economic and political relations who thusly often produce vague results… [And] divided and separated by gender, race, handicap, class, location or religion". Subsequently, research is fundamental to know the meaning of innovation in a given society. The previously mentioned thoughts clear up the meaning of SNS concept broadly.

In the period of globalization, changing media advances have drastically changed the media and health culture of adolescents. Computerized advancements are not just the everyday tools of communication, information and amusement for adolescents yet they have turned into a vital piece of their lives. Adolescents of today have twenty four hours media get to, they wake up with a caution on PDA, utilize different innovations amid the day and at last rest looking on internet with PCs in their laps or iPhones connected their ears. This paper briefly discussed about concepts of internet, social media, social network and social networking sites.
