Social Networking is a tool that
provides connection and accessibility of information for people to use around
the world via internet. Social media like facebook, twitter, and snap chat are
easy, fast and free web site that provides fast communication. I use facebook as a way of communicating with
old friends that live far away or haven’t seen for a long time. However, fast, accessible and easy information
can be time consuming, dangerous or use with wrong intentions. Therefore, users
should use it be carefully. Although Social networking can help people make
their life easier, if not use properly it can be a dangerous tool.
First
of all, social networking gives easy access and opportunity to people to be
involved in the new era of technology. Social media like facebook offers
connection with family and friends. Also, social networking gives a lot of
information to keep people updated in the latest news and events. For example,
I use facebook to communicate with old friends that live far away or I haven’t
seen for a long time. Before, I had no way of communication with my old friends
because I didn’t have their phone numbers or addresses. Now, with a simple
click I can communicate with them. Additionally, the vast variety of information
that is available makes our life easier. For example, as a student I am always
searching for the newest articles for my essays, and having fast access to
information helps me finish my assignment faster and on time. Social networking
is the best way to stay connected and updated, it is a tool for success.
On the
other hand, social networking if not use carefully can have negative effects on
a person life. Social media is an easy
tool for people to see and use your personal information for wrong intents. For
example, facebook is an easy way people can see and know about your personal
life because people are constantly posting pictures of themselves or given to
mush personal information. Unfortunately, this information can be used by
someone else to violate a person personal life. Once you post a picture or a
message on any social media is on the internet for ever and there is no way to
take it back. Additionally, people can get overwhelm with all the easy and fast
information they can find. People don’t take the time to validate the source
and assume or believe all the information in the internet is true. For example,
I am always searching for the most recent News on social media, but most of the
times I would encountered an article that is not updated or with false
information. All the false information affects me because it only creates
confusion and doubt. People should think twice before using the social network
because is a dangerous tool.
Social
network is a tool that is changing the world. People should learn to use it
smarter and carefully. The internet can help you in different ways like
communication and searching for information, but if not use carefully it can
take you to dark places. I believe the way people need to use social networking
is by reading everything carefully and thinking twice when posting something in
social media. A small mistake can change a person life. Social networking is
growing and changing the way we interact in our daily life, but the real
question is if it going to control us?
