Week 3 Privacy&Social Media

Privacy is dead.
Generally speaking, Internet is a highly developed technology which enables people to have a better understanding of life as well as communicate to each other with higher speed and more convenience. However, it happens to us there is also a group of people using this technique to steal other people’s privacy information in order to make fun of or even worse, to blackmail, to threaten others. Face book, twitter and other social media, mainly for chatting and having fun are used as shortcuts to steal private information.
Setting up the private settings on the face book page, protecting the computers with the antivirus software, throwing the rubbish email away in our box every day are not just enough to protect our privacy. We don’t know at what point the photos we posted in our face book pages will be shown to the public; we may don’t understand why the pictures which are supposed to be shared only to our closest friends are there. It doesn’t make any sense.
Some people may think it’s funny for making the jokes just like they are making the jokes at their friends. But people who are laughed at are only the ones who want to share the happiness of life with others.
We should respect, for the knowledge, for the humanity, for every individual, no matter how advanced our technology is.
