Social Networking

Social networking can be an awesome tool to make a bigger or even more communities. Some people are crazy about putting every single detail about themselves on social networking websites. This type of communication did not exist back in 2002. Now, majority of Brock students are on "facebook", americans on "myspace", or Japanese people on "mixi". However, I am not comfortable with social networking, because it could be a worst harmful tool for you. some people say, "not everybody is interested in you" or "you think too much". But it is true that so much information flows and anybody can access to your information within social networking site unless you block privacy (which is not default privacy setting). Nowadays, I feel very insecure when I share my personal information online although I need to be on facebook since I can easilty contact with my friends and could be a great tool for group meeting or studying. My solution for this problem is "putting less personal information" and blocking my pictures. I personally believe that people are not "that" interested in other people. So we do not have to put much personal information online. Social networking in Japan is one of the factors of raping or kidnapping. Each of us carefully consider the purpose and use of social networking again, and people should nicely behave online with manners.
