Nowadays, a lot of people cannot imagine their lives without
social networks. The first thing teenagers do, when they wake up in the
morning, is checking out their Instagram or Twitter to see what’s going on in
life of their peers, relatives or celebrities. Undoubtedly, social networks are a great
technological breakthrough that promises many opportunities for people around
the world, but progress comes with a price. Facebook users do not think of the
consequences of their behavior when they post a tremendous amount of pictures
and posts about their daily life that can actually be used against them in future.
There were many cases when people bragged about every single detail about their
upcoming vacation and burglars actually used this information to rob their
houses. The whole idea of social networks is going to be considered barbaric in
hundred years; people and future generations are going to regret about their
internet activities. Posting inappropriate information on social media can hurt
your chances of getting a job; and even if a person has hundreds of friends on
Facebook, there is no real connection with these people.
The fact is that even if an individual gets
rid of some pictures or messages on their laptops or smartphones, they are not
going to disappear and government has an access to them. This idea is terrifying,
and there are actually people who pay professionals lots of money to delete all
the information that they once provided. Even though, there are some great
aspects of this example, such as keeping in touch with people overseas, sharing
knowledge but society misses these opportunities. Social networks will seem
morally wrong and “backwards”, because it has more disadvantages, harm and bad
influence on people.
