Social Networking

Social networking is a virtual community that with time has grown a tremendously popularity and impact worldwide. As it is describes in the YouTube video “Social Media in Plain English”, a social networking is like a little community where everybody share their personal information, pictures and comments in which friends post comment about it and rates it. Social networking sites are one of the most incredible things that is in the cyber world because thanks to its people can find old friends and families and still in touch with them. Also it bought the opportunity to many users to find their love of their life.

According to the article “Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship” by Danah Boyd and Nicole Ellison, that “Sites also vary in the extent to which they incorporate new information and communication tools, such as mobile connectivity, blogging, and photo/video sharing”. Definitely social network sites brought the world new technology or new ways to communicate, such as now people can be update their social network profile anytime through their own phone. Also, people from anywhere of the world can share photos and videos as well as their own interests.

Social networking is a good thing in a way because it brought us new things and the power to be update with our friends and families. But the bad things about social network sites are that you might would not have a privacy life anyone could be able to find your personal information. As I saw in the YouTube video “Facebook in the real world” in which states that the dark side of the social networking sites are that maybe with the time user could not have privacy life because friends and members access to personal information and pictures.
