Social Networking

Social networking can be used to expand someone business and get new friends. Facebook for instance can be used to create a group with the same interest in finance.Hi5 can be used to find high school friends and the benefits are endless.
The benefit of these technologies to society is the sharing of information like the book” Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge by Cass R. Sunstein suggested. Wikipedia is also an example and information can be access by a larger audience.
The dark side of these technologies will be the fact that evil people can use it to do harm. Child predators are using those social websites to lure their victims. However, I believe that these technologies will boom in the future because people always want to access information faster. Watching prometeus”The media revolution “,I am confident and sure that’s how tomorrow will be.
