I agreed with some of the thing with
the video for example that the social network is an extension of my life. I can go to school socialize and continue
socializing through text, Facebook and other social network sites. Social
networking sites are very addictive and almost everyone only in my family has
only, including my father and he stay on the computer from 8am to 12am and I
only see him get up very few times. Before I build him his computer, he used to
go out to hang out and go for walks.
Jessica did something most people
did when MySpace was popular. Create a new identity, which was very common. The
Internet gives people the opportunity to reinvent themselves and present
themselves as a whole new individual. People tend to speak their mind when
they’re hiding behind a computer screen. This leads to Cyber bullying and
parents freaking out for the safety of their children. Before bulls where just
in school and you can go home and try to forget about the horrible day;
however, now kids go home and log into there social networking site and the
bullying continues..
Parents can’t control their kids and
their social networking site, because they’re not going to get their password
especially once the get a bit older. It’s not rock science to bypass parental
control. Kids use the Internet for their private world to get information to
encourage their habit. The only thing parents can do is to educate there
children about the internet and their risk.
