Week 2 part 5: New communication Technology is a really important thing in our days. I usually use it to communicate with my friends and family. I practically started using it since 2005, with the very basics of emails on yahoo and Google. and as the technology keep going , we had received this social media called Facebook, and I use it to communicate with my friends as well.
For Instance, I have been influenced by my friends to use the social media called Facebook, because most of them were on Facebook, and I found it really helpful. knowing that I could still communicate with people who are faraway from me through the internet.
However being called to use and adapt to these kind of communication, I was not able to manipulate every aspect of this and was very concerned about my privacy; because I did not want my privacy to be known by other users; and I discover that Google and Facebook are displaying some privacy about their users. and when it come to my privacy, on Google and Facebook, I prefer to leave some questions blank.
We use internet to connect with friends, and I do have a friend on Facebook whom I never met physically. and I think there is always a difference between an online friend and a physical friend. the difference is that with a physical friend you are sharing a real life, you see the way he or she speaks, lough, run, walk or any other activity that he or she can do; but the one online is not known enough, you can still communicate but your world is limited.
I too have privacy concerns. It is like the wild west online, no rules, no structure, individuals sauntering around everywhere, some good, some bad and some trolls.
