Social Networking:
Social media sites are the most effective place for networking . Because on these sites we get to know people of different types and professions. These people can be useful to us later.
But social networking skills include who you talk to, how to avoid negativity.
Social media websites and apps are always more active than people! But if you want to use them, you don't need much money. So almost all students use them.
Students don't have much to do without studying. So they spend hours on social media and gradually they become addicted to it. So it is important to know the skills and methods of using social media sites.

The first thing that everyone warns about when working online is how we need to conduct ourselves online. Sometimes we vent our anger on social media, lash out at someone But they should not be done at all Everything is much more open in the virtual world. So we will always be careful while working online.
Research:
Finding the meaning of research. Searching a topic in different web browsers and noting it is called research For example: Why is this happening? What is it for? What is the benefit of this?
