As far as i can ascertain , the Arabic Community , in general , uses & to a certain degree utilizes the following of Social Media Networking Sites ( Facebook - Google + Hangout - Twitter - Linkedin - Youtube - LiveLeak - Intstagram - Pinterest - Reditt - Yahoo Messenger - MY Space - Flicker - Quora - DeviantArt - Foursquare ) . Now the extent & degree of such Utilization ranges from the point of looking at the Social Media Sphere as an Enabler to one's Social Activity , going through to agreeing that such Media has replaced the Traditional One , & ending with considering that such Activity is actually a Virtual One . Of course , such Social Media is also used as a source of Non-Social feed such the current Political &  Economical news , tidings & affairs . Nonetheless . it is essential to bear in mind that the extent to which the Social Media is used & utilized differs from a certain age group to another . In other words the younger you are relative to others , the more astute , assiduous , studious & self-taught you are in using & utilizing the Social Media in particle , & , the Internet in general . So , you'll find that the Utilization Percentage is the highest amongst the Millennials ( The Internet Generation ) , which was born between1976 &2000 , also aptly known as ( Generation Y -  Gen Y - Gen Yers - Igen - Echo Boomers ) . And it's pretty much easy to tell as to why they're described as the Internet Generation . It's because this Generation spends more time Online more than watching the T.V , since they've come of age at a time when the Internet Connectivity was & still at it's highest & flowering . For such Age Group the Internet is a means of entertainment as well as education ( Necessity ) respectively . So They're , thus , pretty much familiar with not only Surfing the Internet , but they're well-established in using & utilizing all the gizmos & gadgets that came & are still coming along with it , such as Cell Phones , Electronic Organizers , I Phone , I Pad , I Pod , MP3 Players , & the whole9 yard , which come innately & as a second nature to such Generation , & , are just considered as mere basic staples of existence . Generation X ( Which was born between1960 &1980 )  ranks second to the Y one , when it comes to the Internet & it's role in their lives , especially when this generation came of age at a time when the Internet was merely in it's inception & infancy  , & , wasn't as developed & evolved , as it is now . So , the Internet is a Necessity first before it is recreational & entertaining to such Age Group. And such basic staples were considered Novelties . In distant third ( Technology Utilization Wise ) Lays the so-called the Baby-Boomers , who were born between1946 &1964 .This age group identifies itself  with certain Historical & Cultural Events & Dates much more than Technology & it's Ins & Outs . So, they'd relate to & chime with , for instance ( First man on the moon - Birth of Rock & Roll - Civil Rights Movement -Women’s Rights Movement - Protest of the Vietnam War ... e.t.c ) . Now , as an Arabic Citizen , & , most importantly , as a human being , i have no problem , qualm , pang or queasiness none-whatsoever , in dealing with the Internet in general , & , the Social Media in particular . I do believe that such tools are not only Empowering , Uplifting & Enriching , but also a Human Right & not a privilege , Educational , Eye-Opening & Life-Changing & Enlightening & Illuminating . ( & That's the way it goes ) .

In Arab communities Social Media is fast growing whether Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging, BlackBerry,......etc and many others and yes I feel very comfortable using them as those social media networks really make the world smaller where you can reach for anything no matter how far it is and they help in career advancement, companies' brand management.
So it is comfortable and important to keep up with the technology as long as we responsibly know how to use them and never misuse them for any other purposes.
