The internet and Social media

Reading the first article it is very true and sad that everything that we put on social media can be found and used against you. With the internet you can find anybody’s twitter account or Facebook or even twitter. It takes away our privacy but the internet and social media are public sites. The only thing that is private would be direct messaging through these sites. The first article mentions how “Technological advances, of course, have often presented new threats to privacy’. Personally I don’t post anything on social media that I wouldn’t the world to see. Any opinion on twitter or snapchat is something I choose to post and it is not degrading anybody or anything. You must treat social media like anybody can see what you are posting. Some people don’t care and will post whatever they want on social media and get insulted by other people. I have never posted anything that has got me in trouble. I always post things about my life but not everything. The third article talks about the good and the bad about social media. I agree with the first point of the good. You can get easier access to things around the world through social media. Now we get information and news a lot quicker. The connection to people is better. Now you can communicate with people a lot easier and more often through social media. I think the one bad thing about social media is that everybody has an opinion. It’s good that we all use our voices but I wish people would know more about certain topics before they make an opinion about it. That disappoints me personally because I always like to do my own research about something before I state my opinion about it.
