The meaning is clear even if you avoid these words.) has changed a lot now (1) because of the advancement in technology. It has (Note that you can’t provide change. You can lead/ introduce change.) provided led to a tremendous change (3) to the in relationships, which are formed on social networking sites, (2) and it is a positive development because people can talk to their loved ones regularly, who lives far away.

Let us assume it is a positive change: The use of social networking sites has helped people expand their friend circle at an unprecedented pace and keep in touch with distant relatives.

In the present time, (present is time. Ne need to write both.) many men and women, who share the same interest (who have common interests), develop relationships on networking websites and prefer to interact with each other with the help of video calling feature.
