Social Networks Are Not as Safe as You Think by: Samantha Dion

   Anyone who owns a computer or any other electronic device may become dependent of it. Our modern society has too much trust in the internet when the truth is, it isn't as safe as we think it is. We are now using the internet  to communicate with others which isn't a bad thing but it becomes a problem to many when speaking online is easier then talking to a person face to face. Also, we are using computers and the internet research information and do shopping a lot faster then usual.

     Our society is too dependent on computers because more and more people from all over the world use social media' and networks to communicate at any hour of the day. Many people rely on this way of communication because they describe it as easier and have more self confidence talking through a computer then having to say what they need to in front of a person. Talking to people online can create a dependence to computers and cause a person to stay online for many hours in the day and at night. 

   Secondly, online shopping may be a faster way to buy products online but is it the best? The online shopping industry is continuously increasing in profit and popularity because people feel it is an easier and faster way to buy things from all over the world. Online shopping may be fun and fast but occasionally the things you buy can simply not be what you aspect. Some online shoppers who give their credit card numbers on online forum's our to create an account can be taken away more money than they think. People are becoming so addicted to the technology they stop thinking about the down side of it.

   Lastly, our society is too dependent  on computers because they have been an essential part of our lives. Peoples' bank accounts and other personal data is found on the internet. If ever a network you are on with personal information is hacked or crashes many different people could have access to your information without you knowing. They could also take money from your bank account. They have become an inportant part of our lives and we use social networks everyday, even at school or for business. Students are often asked to do task on the internet or print and write papers on certain websites.


   To conclude, our society has become to dependent on computers because they are part of our everyday life. We also you them to interact with people at any hour of the day or night. Online shoppers think its a easier and faster way to buy thing but really isn't as safe as they think. We have become so dependent of them we refuse to see the bad sides of the social networks.
