About My Term Project

My presentation is about social networking and purposeful loss of privacy. Social networking are sites that individual use to interact and communicate with one another. Individual create an online profile and share the information within the sites. Users post unnecessary information and share too much information on these sites which someone can download and use it however and whenever they want. Also employers are using these sites to learn about prospective employees. Social networking sites provide a privacy statement about the limit of protection but do not guarantee that the information posted on these sites will not viewed by any unauthorized person.
Users should create a limited profile and use the privacy setting, so they have more control on their personal information. Also avoid to post everything online because once its posted online, its public and anyone can access to it now and in the future. Do not add anyone as your friend if you do not know about that person. I think social networking is a great tool to stay in touch with your friends and family but you have to be careful about what you post. Social networks are great fun and can be advantageous but people really need to understand that its complicated world and you need to step wisely.
