Social Networking

Social Networks over the years has been a prominent fixture in helping people build business contacts, meet new people, connecting with people from around who share your interests or maybe someone that you lost touch with. In the article “Antisocial Networking” by Hilary Stout, she discusses how kids have changed and aren’t doing things as children are expected to do. Stout attributes this to children are not as active playing outside and bonding with other kids, but are instead conversing with them, while on the computer. This could hinder their interactions in future business and personal relationships. In the article “Is Myspace Good for Society, a positive that is established from the expansive numbers of contacts and meeting new people is the being able to look up friends and family, that you may have lost contact with. The dark side that coincides with the expansive opportunities of interaction comes from the lack of privacy, putting any information out there can be found for anyone who has the resources to find it and people could lie/manipulate/ extort (a lot easier)others by using personal information. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if social media, becomes the main outlet of communication between individuals at some point in the future. .
