Social networking has let me keep up with friends that have moved away and family members that are hard to keep in touch with.
There are great advantages to social networking. One great advantage is finding lost friends and relatives on facebook or through the web. Its a great tool to communicate with people that do not live by you; you can keep up with events in there lives. Some disadvantages are cyber bullying; which is becoming an epidemic in our society today. Some children have comitted suicide over bullying like this, its sad to know that these kids are not even safe in their own homes.
I work for a clothing company called Boden. They are on Twitter and Facebook and they offer percentages off and all types of savings. They follow peoples posts and it is a big part of our company. We find out if we are having amnufacturer problems with our clothes and we can fix these problems within the company before any more items are sold.
I do not know about the future of social networking. I never expected what we have now. The social networking of the future is unforseeable for me; it can go anywhere!
I love Boden! That's an interesting comment about using social networking to fix problems with clothing!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more about finding lost friends and family! I found out that I have a sister via facebook! I couldn't be happier finding out i have another sibling! :)
ReplyDeleteFinding friends online is a great of communicating with our past. My mom found her high school pen pal in Belgium by using the Internet.
ReplyDeleteAs far as bullying, there has to be a way to stop that. Ignoring it is not the answer. Education seems to be the key. But again if only it were that easy. A lot of young people today do not want to hear anything. Kids in high school believe they know all and even people my age are full of bull. They just don't want to hear it.
That's great that you found your sister Desiree. There can be some positives to social networking. And Sandi i do believe that education is the key, but like you stated they have to want to learn. Thats the trick to getting it to stop!
