Social Networking

-
The social network has impacted our lives, as a culture and as individuals. We interconnect differently, view information contrarily and formed an opportunity for people to connect in a way they never have before. For instance, LinkedIn is one of the vast proficient networks and a platform used by business minded people. "Social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting – ever (Frank Langfitt)." LinkedIn is an invaluable tool in this modern society, where you can promote yourself or your business. There is an incredible opportunity for people to connect and get a job offer in a way they never have before.

As social networks incessantly invade the internet, there are privacy concerns on the user’s acceptance of social networking sites. “Privacy is a moving target (Peter S. Fader).” Privacy on social media is often about regulatory the information that you share and who has access to what you are sharing. Users think they are protected and secure, but they don’t take the time to read the privacy policy and what they are allowing the application to have access to. As a result, companies everywhere are creating large storehouses of data on all of us. All this date is being used to create profiles of us. Nonetheless, we don’t have to abandon our self from social networking, just ask yourself this question before you post: what you are saying reflect who you are and make sure you know who your audiences is.

    Hi Nisa,

    It was great reading your post. I think your last point about knowing audiences and understanding that what we say influences people's perceptions of us is the most important thing we ought to know as young adults. Often, I've seen individuals joke about topics on Facebook and Instagram, that future employers might take into consideration when deciding whether to offer them a role or not. Some things might seem acceptable when discussing them in front of close friends and relatives, but they might not be considered acceptable by your audience; who, on platforms such as Twitter, can be the entire world.

Blog: Wiki so Far

First I checked the history to see when the last change was made, and which was 8 May 2019. The page context was off besides still needing a lot of work on editing. I change the title from “Retail and New Media” to “New Media in Retail”, moved the layout, started with talking about e-commerce business to local online retailing and deleted extra images.
