Facebook is probably the main piece of new communication
technology that I use today. I joined
the Facebook revolution just after I left high school I’m pretty sure. I was never into the other social media Websites
such as Myspace and Bebo even though pretty much everyone at school was because
I just didn’t really see a point to it. But
when I left school I needed a way to keep in touch with everyone and Facebook
had started to become more and more popular so I to, jumped on the bandwagon. The
simple fact that it is free, easy to use, and is a great way to keep in contact
with friends in other States or parts of the world is why I think Facebook has
become so popular. The downside to social
media websites like Facebook has been in the news a bit over the last few years is
things like cyber bullying and cyber stalking.
I think it is very important for parents to be watching over their kids
shoulder (but still giving them some privacy) to make sure they are not
speaking to people that they have only met with over the internet for the
simple reason, you really have no idea if they are who they claim to be.
Cyber bullying is another big issue and personally think it is great that
kids shows like the Disney Channel promoting Anti-Cyber bullying and spreading
the word. Well that’s it from me until
next week!
Cheers,
