There are many reasons to worry about it. This social media is hurting our society in such way that it causing harm to one’s privacy, it disseminates misinformation, and effect on student’s grade. It is clear that social media is hurting our society by putting one’s privacy and security at risk. In the article “Teens Privacy Is Threatened by Social Networking” author Peter Bazalgette said, “Can you truly delete entries from social networking sites with the confidence they no longer exist on a server somewhere? You cannot” (Bazalgette p.1).
2/18/13 Marketing Social Media I would describe social media as exactly as it sounds, media that uses and requires social interaction. Its also a way for businesses to reach their customers other than tv and billboard ads. I use social media everyday including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more. It allows me to connect with people I do not talk to everyday. They are also fun and a good way to waste time.
A Critical Review of “Does the Internet Make You Dumber?” Critical Review 2 Introduction Nicholas Carr’s 2010 article titled “Does the Internet Make You Dumber” is an attempt to shadow the usefulness of the internet as a whole in a negative light. This short article, originally published in the Wall Street Journal, makes a fervid bid to discredit the internet and persuade individuals that we as a society were smarter before we began relying so heavily on the internet as an avenue to gain information. Carr manages to adequately present and support his very one-sided view of the argument without attempting to make room for a counter argument at all. I personally am of the opinion that Carr is being short sighted; he is beginning with a conclusion and bending the narrative to support his point of view. Summary It is a difficult task to summarize Carr’s article while including the sort of emotional one-sidedness he presents in the full text of the article.
Danielle Schreiber Professor Bush ENGL 1102-O Rhetorical/ Cultural Analysis September 18, 2014 Trapped in a Cage Social Media and Technology have caused a major issue in today’s culture, and are dominating people’s lives. In Angel Boligan’s political cartoon, “Like Prisoner”, he targets the Social Media problem in developed countries. In the cartoon, viewers see a human-bird hybrid that is almost mesmerized with its laptop. This cartoon is intended for anyone who uses Social Media, or electronic devices. It’s a metaphor for the way that people live life today, and how they are completely and unreasonably obsessed with Social Media to the point where they can do nothing but spend time in their own digital world.
Especially we need to recognize that the Internet is a public environment everyone has access to. As Justice Samuel Alito, Jr. argued, “Protecting this kind of Internet speech posed ‘a very grave threat of domestic violence” (Denniston). Elonis’ case is definitely different from Virginia v. Black in 2003 because burning a cross does not show a clear message and only involves a limited amount of people, but Elonis’ words online can speak clearly that he would do something and convey to a much wider audience, making them fear and nervous. If everyone is free to speak any violence word as Elonis did online, the society will be in completely chaos. Everyone will live in fear because saying terrorism is all right.
Web. 20 Feb. 2013. This article discusses how the Internet is taking over and destroying the minds of many people. Jeff Bercovici explains this that the Internet has become people’s new addiction because many spend the majority of their day on it.

It seems as if cyber-bullying is a cruel way to treat someone. Any identity can be created on the Internet and that could be a good thing or a bad thing. Many things happen on the web and people hurt certain ones and do not get the punishment they should. Cyber-bullying has led to murders including suicides. The Internet is a huge tool when it comes to the subject taunting others.
citizens are entitled to there are always exemptions. This would be a case to case basis and would all depend on the circumstances of each case to discreatly say what information may have been obtained to harm someone. As far as blaming the author, we all have the right to freedom of speech but when it comes to the “how-to” manuals, there should be some type of limitations on what can be published and what can’t. We will never be able to control the many methods of communications that have been and will be sent in place for those who choose to use the internet. This information can be passed on through social websites, blogs, etc.
Memo To: Laura M. Smith From: Lakia M. Hairston CC: Date: November 2, 2009 Re: Ethical, Legal and Regulatory Differences Today, the popularity of the internet has been the foundation of new business, e-business. Just about anything can be done online now. Many people are reverting from shopping in stores of malls because of the convenience of the internet. You can do anything from balancing your check book, to ordering pizza online today, which is making the internet a big part of most peoples lives around the world. Businesses are making transactions with other businesses online eliminating extra time and wasted money.
Today, people suffer around the world with random acts of murder and violence by terrorists; who want to kill all people who do not join in their one group with fanatical ideals about Islam and suppressing women. These examples from real life history are enough proof for me to agree that through dystopias, authors are telling us that the idea of creating perfect societies is actually an act of abuse that creates monsters who disguise themselves as leaders. The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number of People A dystopian society is unpleasant and is made up of people who are repressed and have no rights to their own opinions and choices of life styles, like hair, clothing, religion, going to school and sometimes even driving a car. For example, in the Twilight Zone film, Number 12 Looks Just Like You, a young girl was being told that she had to choose between being transformed into Number 8 or Number 12 of styles of beautiful women. She had no choice, because she was going to be transformed into one of these two, through plastic surgery; even though she said she did not want a new body, new face, new hair or new
