Do social networking websites have a positive impact on the United States?

Yes or no? And why?

I'd say no, because overall, sitting in front of computer decreases productivity in real life, thus having a negative impact on the United States.

    They are useful social utilities. One could certainly lose productivity by spending too much time on them, but one could easily say the same thing about these very forums.

    edit: Also the OP reads almost as if we're writing a paper for you.

    This thread does not have a positive impact on the United States, and thus I'm locking it. If you'd like to improve it's impact by constructing a more detailed and constructive OP on this same topic, you're more than welcome.
