MySpace and Facebook

 

In today’s day and age there are many different forms of communication. Face to face communication has rapidly become a thing of the past. Many people use cell phones to text and make calls, emails, and social Medias. Many of these forms of communication take out the middle man in communication and supply the user with a direct conversation/statement between two users. Many social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Google Plus are excellent devices that can be used by anyone as a form of communication and also to see new trends/pictures from famous people or distant relatives. These forms of communication allow the user to learn about another person while supplying somewhat personal information to all of the devices users. While many of these devices have protection restriction to help limit the possibility of such hacking/abuse from happening many people don’t know about them.

Social networks, emails, and cell phones are all excellent forms of advertising between the user and a company. These social media networks online also allow recreational and entertainment applications. These applications are also a major hazard to the protection of you accounts. These applications are able to take control over your posting and post things that you don’t write to assist in their advertising.

Some of the new page designs on many of these social media networks allow users to view more information without being your friend. This is also an invasion of your personal life. If you don’t go and adjust your security settings, anybody could go and view your information at any time whether they are your friend or not. This is a serious hazard to teenagers and people, who have had confrontations with somebody because somebody could just go into the search bar, type your name or your location and be able to find you.
