Social Change

I think my social life will change drastically over my life time. This social media problem is one of the biggest problems in Earth, at least that's my opinion. Throughout the last 100 years, THOUSANDS of things have changed.First of all, the social media. Internet has millions of pagaes on it. You could travel through millions of pages a day, having another billion more to go. Every day, hundreds of pages are created throughout the world. Every second, the internet is growing.

All over the world, the population is growing. The population in China is 1.3 billion people, in India it is 1.1 billion, and in the USA 300 million. Every now and then new jobs are being invented, so more people are getting jobs. To get accepted in these jobs, you got to study things that in the past were not obligatory. Now, they are not obligatory either, but you need them to survive. By survive I mean getting a decent job, earn money, and be able to afford a place to live. Social media is a GIGANTIC problem today. People are being kidnapped, assaulted, raped, and even murdered.

Web pages today are still growing. If you type a word in google, over 250 BILLION web pages will appear in front of you in less than 0.17 seconds. The number one type of pages visited today are porn pages. In less than 9 months, 100 million people have been added to the Facebook community. If facebook was a country, if would be the number FOUR largest country in the world. In my opinion, social media isn´t bad, it´s just a faster way of communicating. The problem with social media is the way we use it. Thousands of stalkers wonder around pages, trying to get information to get to you. A way to avoid being assaulted or being stalked is to not put your real information on a public page. The private data could be private for only your friends and networks.

I think social media shouldn´t be banned from nowhere, but just being cautious. There should be more parental supervision pages. Parents should be able to look at most stuff their kids do. I know having your parents look at everything you do is a pain because I´m a teenager. I think not putting your own private data or any othre private data is the best thing someone could do to prevent being stalked.

  1. Hey, great point, I agree with you. However, you could use a little more personal touch and less video comment. It would have been the best post, if you actually had written that,you!!!

  2. I agree with all you say. Even so, it is not your own work. You took it from another page. Still you are right, as the person who made the video is right... alas, you still have opinions in which I disagree. Parents shouldn't be looking at what you do. The computer should know whether it is an appropriate site or not. Although from the other things you said, you are right.
