You cannot” (Bazalgette p.1). It says that what have put online once is permanent and there is no assurance that the post, tweet, photo, video or anything can ever be removed from the cyber world. In this way, social media is threatening the privacy of society by pulling out the unwanted past in future. The author also says about the new generation, “a generation is voluntarily surrendering its privacy on a hitherto unimaginable scale” (Bazalgette p.1). New generation likes to use social media as self advertisement and sometime they share very personal information.
I feel that social networking give people permission to stalk others. There have been multiple occurrences that people have “liked” pictures that I have posted… four years ago! This lets me know that they are creeping through my profile and that just freaks me out! Sure, one solution would be to delete my account, but I keep it because it is the most convenient way to communicate with my relatives. I was hesitant to get it because I feel that whenever I did set up a social networking account a new networking site was created making the old one obsolete.
Carmex: Leveraging Facebook for Market Research 1. Numerous advantages and disadvantages must be considered when collecting data through different sources. An online survey of a cross-section of Internet households is one way to accomplish this. By using this method, the opinions of many different people will be captured. Both users and nonusers of Carmex will potentially take the survey because Carmex will not know who they are sending the survey to.
They may become so used to communicating via internet that they lose basic communication skills and can’t hold a face to face conversation. Prior to social media, people were able to have secret affairs. But now, it has become so much easier to trace foot prints that are left behind, which in turn makes it easier for couples to spy on each other. Sharing passwords, setting rules as to who your significant other can and can’t have on their friends list, or even going as far as making them delete social media all together will cause many problems between insecure couples. In general, relationships can be greatly affected both positively and
I don’t even open e-mails from people I don’t know whether it has an attachment or not. You can also protect yourself by updating your windows
The people that interview us and give us our jobs have the option to use Facebook and technology to observe us and see what we are about and decide whether we would make a good fit for their position. In Roni Jacobson’s essay “Facebook Snooping on Job Candidates May Backfire for Employers” he says that “Profile screening (of our profiles on Facebook) could potentially color the judgment of the applicant- whether they realize it or not”. Everything we do online like posting about the awesome party we attended last night or saying something about how we hate working is seen by our employers which in some cases can cause loss of our opportunity for that job. Technology can give us opportunity but also take it away just like that. There are definitely positives and negatives that come out of technology but it doesn’t matter how much we learn or how much we take from it, we will never have anything without reality and the real life aspect of life itself.
Rhetorical Reading: “Is Facebook Making Us Lonely?” In Stephen Marche’s article “Is Facebook Making Us Lonely?” (2012), Marche claims social media is a cause of many people becoming isolated from the world. He uses the story about Yvette Vickers to give us an example of how social networks can interfere with our lives. Marche’s purpose for this article is show how social media can make us lonely in order to get us to not use it as often as we do. His attended audience is anyone who is interested or uses social media. I can’t relate to this article because I do not believe Facebook can make anyone lonely.
People need to be more careful when posting about things because no matter what, it will always be permanent online. Jung’s “ The Negative Effects of Social Media on Society and Individuals” points out many reasons on how social networking has its flaws. The reasoning of cyber-bullying, false sense of connection, and lack of privacy should be pointed out to the ones who don’t understand what the negative effects are online. People are blinded by the addictive quality of networking than really seeing the problems of
It’s easy for a person to create a factitious profile and use these anonymous profiles. In Bugeja’s essay they say Facebook forbids such fabrications because of their “Terms of Service,” but is still possible for creators to create fake profiles that look real. Again, in his essay it’s stated that all you see on Facebook is an image. You don’t see that person face-to-face so identities are constructed and easily manipulated. Facebook is an interesting example of
Thompson suggests that Twitter is a very useful tool. “…I’m more knowledgeable about the details in her life, than the lives of my two sisters in Canada, who I talk to only once every month or so” (Thompson, 2011). The author argues that social media websites like Facebook have made it possible to quickly see and share photos as well as be updated on what someone is doing or how they are feeling in an instant. In the beginning Facebook was primitive and the concerns about privacy were abundant which made a lot of Facebook users feel uneasy. Zuckerberg made changes to modernize Facebook by creating a News Feed which gave us easier access to what people were doing.
