Social Networking

Social networking- social networks act as a median between people; they are intended to connect people that have common interest. Such examples are Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. These social networks provide people a chance to interact, communicate and explore each other’s worlds without being in the same physical space. You can post pictures, update people about things that are going on in your life and advertise products to reach customers. Social networks have been a positive contribution to society as well as a negative one. People are able to share information, pictures and videos to other subscribers. This has been effective in reconnecting people that attended elementary school, middle school, high school, college and former colleagues. People are able to join groups that they have a common interest with and share similar feelings in regards to a certain subject. The downfall to social networking is a lot of information can be exposed if it gets in the wrong hands. Another downfall is in this virtual world people can be “whomever” they want to be.
