The use of social networking sites is only limited by a person's imagination. Users attempt to attract new contacts in a variety of ways, therefore it is not uncommon for a person who has set themself up on a social networking website to have many people they don't know contacting them to become "friends". This of course makes these web sites open to abuse and many people will create more than one profile and even create a profile for someone without their permission.

There is also a potential possibility for online games to help people and families to deal with chronic diseases and other illness that involve the mind. Since games are easier to understand than books then most of schools use online gaming as a way to educate people especially children.
