Facebook and Twitter is said to bring relations close to each other, but according to studies now conducted it is said that these social networking sites are more likely to cause loneliness in anyone's life.

Facebook and Twitter have a billion members who are constantly logged on 24/7 and mostly these users are said to be loners.
Also pertaining to this study, these social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter leaves those in the dark all by themselves where they feel alienated and dissatisfied with life.

Author, Sherry Turkle, says that despite the advent of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter text messaging our intimate relationship with technology has not translated into closer personal relationships between fellow humans. The book, ' Alone Together' written by Sherry Turkle explains all about loneliness caused by these sites which is Facebook and Twitter.

Sherry Turkle also states that, “ These days, insecure in our relationships and anxious about intimacy, we look to technology for ways to be in relationships and protect ourselves from them at the same time."
