Most people do have some type of social media account. Between Facebook, Twitter and Youtube there are many issues with these websites. With most people it’s just a simple way of connecting with other people, but for some people there are issues with addiction, copyright, privacy, you could offend people, legalized stalking. For Facebook there are many ways you could use this social media website. You can post things you are doing or “check in”. People can tag you in photos that have you in them. You can also post pictures of yourself or other things. “The most common age of people who use face book is ages 35-55.” I think

There are also some privacy issues with social media. But posting or tweeting every little thing that you do what do you really expect to happen. If you don’t want the world to know then doesn’t put it out there on the internet. Because once it hits the internet it never goes away. One thing that scares people the most is facial recogtion when you go to tag some body it pops up who this person may be by this software. It makes you wonder if you took a photo of a crowd would it be able to tell you who everybody is and what they are like though their Facebook page? I wonder if there will be an app for that. People can also legally stalk somebody though their social media page. Depending on how much you put out on the internet though is how much somebody is going to know. If they are friends with your or follow you, they can have full access to your sensitive information. With all of the things that you can do on social media websites I believe that it can be dangerous but it can be used in a safe way in order to have fun in the way that it was intended to be used. It’s all about how you use the websites.

Leading into this, Social media isn't even safe anymore. You now always have to watch what you do on social media, one mistake can lead to a horrible life or years. One the same side, just different and a statistic, the article "Are You Being Watched?", also tells us about tracking out social medias. " A recent study found that 75 percent of the 500 most popular websites use tracking tools... Tracking is legal, but the idea that our online activities are being recorded to upsetting to many Americans.
I believe that there are “right” and “wrong” ways to use social media. It can be a wonderful thing, and I’ve been known to use it every day. It’s a way to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in a while, a place to find information, etc. However,
There is a rising dominance of social media sites that allows users lives to become increasingly transparent. With full information about ones activities available for everyone to see, it blurs the line between personal and impersonal information. Personal information like where you were, and your private life information are now things that everyone feels free to share, and by doing so dismantling the boundaries of personal information.

Social media has become prominent parts of life for many young people today. Most people engage with social media without stopping to think what the effects are on our lives, whether positive or negative. Are we as a society becoming more concerned with Facebook "friends" than we are with the people we interact with face-to-face in our daily lives? What will the longterm effects of today 's social media use be? There are many positive aspects, but there are equally as many dangers that come with the use of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google +, Tumblr, Instagram, gaming sites, and blogs. Social media has both negative and positive effects on society, it is up to the user to decide what impact they want to make. In order to make the right choices, we must dig in and research this topic thoroughly.
There are many issues with privacy today, not only with social media but with credit purchases and data given to banking and medical facilities as well. Another example is selling information, also known as “data dealing”, taken from random postings on blogs and in chat rooms that invade the internet today. In addition there are also many companies tracking and then selling whatever one puts out there. Individuals must be careful about the URLs they use which can result in spam, malware and phishing attacks.
Social media are websites or applications that most of people use every day, but it can cause several harmful effects, such as symptoms of mental health, increase cyberbullying, and reduce productivity. Social media is a place where people can share their personal information, pictures, videos, ideas, and different form of expressions. It also the great place where people can interact with each other by using the text posts or comments. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter are the platform social media that most of people use. Each people has different purpose of using social network, such as communicate with friends, or promote a business. According to the Statita.com, in 2017, 81 percent of U.S. Americans had a social media profile, representing a five percent growth compared to the previous year.
We've all been there. Sitting outside on perfectly sunny day, perusing through Instagram on our iPhone. Suddenly, a drop of rain hits the screen. The touch function goes all wonky as you scramble to your feet. A downfall of razor sharp liquid envelopes your once serene spot of relaxation and you go home soaked and defeated. If only we had some kind of social-media umbrella to warn us.
Social media strategies and their implementation to achieve competitive advantage in the highly competitive market arena is an issue that has severally been addressed by various companies. However none of these companies have been able find and determine an effective method that will aim to attain the competitive advantage. The importance of this research is to determine how social media strategies can be implemented and utilized to ensure that the competitive advantage of the companies is realized (Campbell, Coff, & Kryscynski, 2012). Additionally this research will highlight the prominence of utilizing social media strategies in the companies' management as well as marketing. It is without a doubt that
However, there are some negative effects that come with social media. Research has shown that social networking sites can be very addictive. People who use social networking sites for their daily communication are hooked to a point that they neglect health responsibilities, especially their diet. The addictive nature of social media can lead to eating disorders, obesity, heart problems, sleep disorders, and other pertinent health issues. ("Social Networking: Advantages vs. Addictions.") Another downside to social media is that the user could share too much information which may pose threats to them. (Ali, Imtiaz) People using social media need to know the risks that come with social networking. Users can help protect themselves by not sharing personal information with others they do not know and by having their social networking profiles on a private setting.
Before the birth of Internet, most of individuals communicated through the utilisation of telephone, in person or letters. Though, accordingly to the fast development of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, that has took place over the last 3-4 years, is indicative of its entry into our personal lives. Social media has led to the most significant changes in the way we communicate with each other and the linguistics we currently utilise. Phone texting over social media is also a rapid expansion in which it influences young individuals to use short phrases to conserve less time.
The method of the survey was to gather data connecting the parallels between how different generations incorporate social media into their lives and whether or not they have an effect on the individuals physical and social environment. In order to gather data, to prove that there is a correlation between how social media does have an effect on an individual’s physical and social environment, an anonymous survey was constructed and distributed to focus on the idea of how different generational groups interact with social media. The survey was titled “How Often Do You Use Social Media”, and was structured with questions that targeted individuals that were familiar with using social networks.
My first reaction to this film is to be a bit shocked. I was always taught that social media can be bad for many different reasons but this brought it all to a whole new light. we are essentially not just selling products for companies, but are also selling ourselves in the process. I like the way the film was made. At the beginning it showed the positive side of this whole argument. Even now that I’ve watched the whole thing and associate much more strongly with the negative side of social idea, I can see why another person would disagree with me. We learn about the gains social media can bring a person, like money and products, but more importantly the increasing self-value the person will have. Sadly, this self-value can be artificial and easily lost.
Social media is a great way to stay in touch with old classmates, organize work functions, or letting everyone know what you had for lunch. It is also a good way for hackers to get a lot of your personal information, your photos, and even your locations. People look at the good that social media can do but do not
Part of being human is the ability to socialize, communicate with one another. Social media makes it easy for us to do that. Some people truly have a difficult time actually going out to clubs or bars to meet new people. Social media websites like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and many others, have been created for people who just feel more comfortable behind a computer/phone screen. Social media helps us better understand some people. It’s a great way to express yourself through text or pictures about how you feel, how your day has been, the outfit you wore, how good your make up looks today, or even to just let us know how delicious your meal was.
