Social Networks - an Enemy or a Friend?

Since our ancestors learned how to control the fire millions of years ago, human generation began to evolve and develop in every aspect of everyday life.We developed the writing system, the money as means of trade, electricity, photographing, cars, cinemas, television and so on, the list seems to be incessant until we get to the Internet - one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century.
With the advent of the Internet minority of us had access to it. Don't you think today it's a bit different? Do you know somebody today who doesn't have Facebook or Twitter profile? The Internet is everywhere. We all became part of it and using it we find people,information and everything we need.
On one hand,we are facilitated to come across people with the same interest and share experience,feelings and opinions. We can find people from totally different cultures,countries and races.Using this social networks we communicate easily,saving sometimes time and physical efforts as well. Being part of a social network helps you to be in touch with our family, friends and colleagues.

On the other hand, this deep involvement in such a big society has its weakness. When you provide your personal details like date of birth,address and e-mail, they may be used by someone for illegal actions. What is more, there are people who can pretend to be you and misuse with your information.
Frequently, there are people whose aim is to get your money and try to abuse you.
Therefore, we should take into account to what extend we can trust in order not to be mislead.


It is only our choice !
