Social networking could not have been the topic of any discussion a mere ten years ago for the simple reason that it did not exist. To be sure, we already had e-mail and the Internet, which meant that many of us created pretty horrible Web sites that were all about us, our likes and dislikes and most of all, our dreams and desires, because, back then, that was the only thing to do.
Today we do something like that but rely on Web sites like MySpace and Facebook, and many others to let our family, friends and the rest of the world find out everything about us.
What private information should I share on my virtual wall? What consequences should I expect from the fact that such private information is now available to the world, not just the people I know?
This is just a sampling of the many questions facing us in this brave new world of social networking which is having an increasingly significant impact on allocation and the lives of young teenagers and adults.
The information that is released to the world can have a huge impact on the relationships you develop through these networking sites, along with your safety. At what point do you decide that information is inappropriate for the strangers of the world to see… Do you?
