Below are some thoughts, based primarily on the pro-privacy reactions to Zuckerberg's statements from many of our readers this weekend. Though there is a lot to be said for analysis of public data (more on that later), I believe that Facebook is making a big mistake by moving away from its origins based on privacy for user data. In Facebook's early days, and for the vast majority of the site's life, its primary differentiator was that your user data was only visible to other users that you approved friend requests from. As of mid-December, Facebook users were no longer allowed to hide from the web-at-large some information including their profile photos, list of friends and interests in the form of fan pages they followed. Text, photo and video updates shared on the site have always been by default private (friends only) but if you'd never changed your privacy settings before last month, then Facebook suggested you switch them to make those updates publicly visible to everyone.
Your personal photographs and videos that you upload can be easily stolen by them.People who rely heavily on Facebook’s privacy settings may fail to appreciate its limits. In one famous incident, Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg released a photo to friends on Facebook. Though not a Facebook friend of the Zuckerbergs, one of the people tagged in the photo posted it to another website without asking for permission. Facebook privacy settings can leave you overly reliant on its privacy settings and encourage you to forget to exercise good judgment. Another disadvantage of Facebook’s privacy settings is that every time an update of the website is implemented, the individual security protocols that a user have in place revert back to the original default setting.
to the new generation’s use of internet and lack of reading classic books, Amy Goldwasser defends the teenage reputation in her article “What’s the Matter with Kids Today?” Goldwasser speaks of how the internet has expanded kids’ minds when it comes to school and themselves, also how this generation has more access than older generations due to the internet. Goldwasser claims that teenagers spending time online is overall good for them because they do read and write. The content, however, is not strong enough for educational purposes. A blog post about how to curl hair or how to pass the perfect spiral is not giving them any educational value. Whereas reading the local newspaper or reading a classic novel like “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald would provide a more Nowadays kids don’t read don’twritedont care about anything .
Facebook pages advertise certain messages in peoples newsfeeds and also notify friends of a user that ‘become a fan’ of that company. Facebook’s social beacon was not favorable to users at first because it was “opt out” not “opt in” which meant advertisers would display activity without first asking the user and that lead to unhappy users who said it was “an invasion of privacy” .once the social beacon became “opt in” users were much happier with the service. Q.3)
Your one of them aren’t you? One of the teenagers who can’t think for yourself online anymore and you’re too afraid to express your own opinion, because of peer pressure and this new “like” culture. You’re hiding behind this mask and not showing your true form online, because you might be ridiculed and un-accepted by everyone for sharing your opinion. You should be focusing on school, homework and just living, not getting addicted to tweeting or updating your Facebook status. Those tweets or statuses you make have to get enough “likes” or comments, or you won’t “belong” or “be popular”.
2534- 2535) And they also admitted that there remains much to discover about the role of personal reciprocity and social media reciprocity. This research is not enough and it only provides the first step by indicating that reciprocity as enacted through social media can / may influence the consumption and even in the creation of media both in general and specific context of the news. My assumption is supported by their Discussions and Conclusion that they did not prove significance the role of personal reciprocity but only in social media
The statement “it doesn’t seem fair” when referring to the students that can’t afford a smartphone is irrelevant to this subject. Students that have the privilege of having a smartphone still should not be allowed to use them in school. What purpose does Facebook or using a mobile device serve in class while the students are supposed to be learning? In the article published by The Boston Globe “Pondering Facebook’s School Role” by Calvin Hennick it states “the students argue that there are a lot of educational uses for Facebook” however, there are no supporting details behind it. It is a true statement that Facebook can be used for educational purposes but are the students really going to stay focused on the assignment if they cannot control what’s going to pop up next on their walls.
Are your Facebook friends more interesting than those you have in real life? Has high-speed Internet made you impatient with slow-speed children? Do you sometimes think about reaching for the fast-forward button, only to realize that life does not come with a remote control? If you answered yes to any of those questions, exposure to technology may be slowly reshaping your personality. Some experts believe excessive use of the Internet, cellphones and other technologies can cause us to become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and even more narcissistic.
Many people that use social media have stated that it doesn’t only affect their lives daily, but also their close relationships. Social media can affect any type of relationship whether between friends, significant others, and parents in both a positive and negative way. Communication is the key in most lasting relationships. Instead of spending quality time with each other social media can have a negative effect on relationships. The constant use of using social media to know what is happening in the lives of others doesn’t often play out positively for relationships.
She even goes as far as to note that the entire reason Facebook is worth utilizing in the first place is due to it's “malleability”, and the fact that there are so many folks creating an interesting online identity for themselves and their businesses (Mitrano, 2006). These are all factual points, that are mostly common knowledge today. Negative Thoughts However, the main point of her essay is not how great Facebook is, but how students should wield that creative power wisely. There is a potential for posting undesirable or incriminating information to Facebook, that can be seen by anyone with access to your page. She also brings up a good alternative point that retaliation can be sought after if a person posts information about someone else that is “construed to be an invasion of their privacy” (Mitrano, 2006).
