The advantages of social networking is that we can talk to people from far places, like family and friends to stay connected with them. Another advantage is that you can set an event like a birthday. From there people can r.s.v.p. and comment on what they should bring or if they should dress up. Certain advantages with people we want to stay connected without being on the phone all day long.
The disadvantages are that people can sometimes view your posts or social page that do not have access to your page. Another disadvantage is people can send viruses and steal your idenity. Trick you into sending them money if your selling something online. Lots of things can are good and bad about social networking.
I believe that a positive effect that social networking has on society is that more people are looking into the future creating easier ways to socialize on the computer. Creating new technology, comming up with new ideas, and advancing with technology where society never thought possible.
The negative effect is that people may not get out as much anymore because they want to spend all the time in a day to be on the computer. I aslo believe that if we rely on technology to much that a glich or a virus gets into the system then shuts down. Then we will be lost without a clue on to know what to do.
Businesses are using social networking for promoting products and getting feedback as well.
If I owned a business, I would want to know a customers feedback on how the product works for them. Then other people who see the post will join in on buying my product.
I see social networking in three years as it is today, but just different versions of the network.
I enjoyed reading your thoughts bill, however i feel that in three years computers themselves will begin to become an obselete technology. DNA based computers are currently in the works that use RNA strands to transfer information. There is literally no lag and it uses electron transfer technology.
ReplyDeletei feel that reading my post will open your view on the matter of social networking and the possible ramifications it will have on societies in the future. look at what happened in london, new zealand and egypt recently!!!!!! using their social networking they began to organize cous!
I agree with staying in contact with family and friends. I believe you are correct on the fact that people can hack us. I to brought up that topic, but after I thought about it. More and more people are becoming aware of these issues and are finding new ways to protect us from identity theft. Now only if it was free :) You're also right on the positive effects it is having. I found my biological father via Facebook when I had been looking for about 6 years. I definitely agree with you on the negative effects. I am on my computer ALL day. I only go outside to take my dog out. It can be one of the reasons our society is becoming as far behind as it is, because we game or spend time really not doing much when we could be out finding new ways to help the economy. But I also disagree because I work on a computer. So spending my time inside is better than being out for me because I need the computer to get things done.
