Here is a link to one of my classmates videos used in their blog. The video talks about the Pros and Cons towards social media and how time management plays a factor. The shocking benefits regarding social media use are socializing, improving education, sharing content, and increasing self esteem. Now social media has its risk factors such as: cyber bullying, sexual abusing, fake profiling and advertising. All in which, I have not discussed in my posts because I wanted my blog to contain positive vibes but it is safer to be socially aware of the dangers then not being informed about them. You need to understand the possibilities when using any social media website. One of the biggest social networking problems is Cyber bullying. Cyber bullying and bullying are the same type of bullying but cyber bullying is taken in account on electronic devices. In Addition, sexual abuse with sexting is being said on the news of teens sending inappropriate photo's through smart phones or any other device. It is important to remember this is a child and that sexting is illegal and can end up in some serious consequences. As for fake profiles being made with unled information, so it is important to keep in mind you may not know if you are talking to who you might think you are talking to because this is social media. Lastly, it is important to limit what information you put out there on social media websites for advertising they can target general information you provided and invade privacy. Being aware of all the dangers social media has but also getting to enjoy all of the benefits that social media has to offer.
