Fitness for purpose

Social networking is another online service that can be considered as being fit for purpose, as it does exactly what it says on the tin; it allows people to communicate within their social circles and connect with new people, as well as offer the ability to share content between others, regardless of where they may be located in the world. It is much more effective than more or less all of its non-internet alternatives, and makes the job of socialising a great deal easier! It can be used by people of all ages for a number of different purposes, including the ability to promote local businesses, and find old acquaintances. Also, as an online service, it packs a heavy amount of advantages all of which effectively make the service greater through the experience it offers its users. However, these advantages are paired with a number of drawbacks, but these do not really prevent the service from functioning as intended. So, all in all, I think that social networking is a very effective online service that will only get larger than it already is, and is one type of service that is definitely fit for its purpose!
