Social Media

Social media refers to interaction among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.

A social networking site can be a good way to make connections with people with similar interests and goals. They can be a way to connect with or "meet" people that a student may not have had the opportunity to before-including other students, staff, faculty and even alumni. Just as social media provides another avenue for making friends, it also makes it possible to renew old ones. Thus, meeting people and staying connected with classmates and friends is a major benefit of social networking sites. 

Because students often post detailed and specific information on Facebook (including phone numbers, addresses, class schedules, social plans, etc.) you can be more easily stalked by strangers (or even acquaintances). Identity theft can also be a significant risk of social networking. Personal details like your full name, names of your family members, your phone number, birthday, address, and place of employment can all be used by identity thieves.  "Passport-style" profile photos also make it easier for identity thieves to replicate your online presence. Social media can also makes us more passive. Everyday we just stay in front of TV or computer without do anything else. It's better to hang out with your friends and share informations together. 

Social media not only has a lot of benefits but also dangers. We can enjoy the social media but we have to be careful.
