Positive and negative aspects of chatting.
So-called chatting has become very prevalent in the last 10-20 years. It is also spoken about that chatting is so dangerous. That is not good for people of all ages and sit at your computer and "talk " with unknown people . But chatting is so dangerous that one has it ? Door man by having contact with a stranger ? Are all the negative talk about chatting nonsense ? This I write about in this article.
You 've probably heard that chatting is dangerous. Take first place in asking an adult who is the parent of a child about what they think about chatting. Then you will probably get the answer that it is very risky to chat for young people because they do not take as much responsibility as the older people might do .
But chatting is risky if used by the wrong people . It is often the older chatters one should fear , because a large fraction of them addict young and naive chatters . These people have no doubt some pretty special interests and probably some screws loose . An example of an incident where an elderly man has molested young girls through chatting , a tragic thing happened in Sweden not long ago. A man of abuse and killing two young girls after they planned to meet each other after writing together for a chat . We can console ourselves that these things happen very rarely , but it is enough to understand the seriousness of it to take responsibility for themselves when chatting .
There are of course positive and innocuous aspects chatting too. All are active chatters would say that chatting is tidsfordriv.Mange chats because they have better things to do. Maybe they are bored really ? Maybe they feel lonely ? Maybe they need some new and unknown people to talk to? Then chatting just...

...grow through chatting. Chatting is a pastime but also an important form of communication, both socially and social. Some chats because they have nothing to do, and other chatter because they are serious and think nothing about it , others because they need to talk to someone they do not know.
As for concerned parents who have children in the chat , so my tip to them to teach the children some simple rules in chatting. There are actually a number of rules for how to emerge when chatting . These they call " Chat sense rules" . In this way , children can be safer and more aware of what they do when they chat . But remember that chatting is not as dangerous as many portray it. There is more chance of you being killed in a car accident or on the way home from school. Everything is related to how aware you are of yourself and your actions and take responsibility you take.
The concern in regards to privacy is when more personal information than normal is shared via these platforms. This oversharing of personal information can range from violating to incriminating for the participants. Because young people are more prone to share personal information to gain friendships and related to other users on these platforms, many young people can fall victims to more serious issues in regards to identity theft and sexual predators.
Before technology was so advanced, I would spend hours talking in the phone. Things have changed, and now I don’t spend most of the day talking in the phone but texting my friends and family. Many people, in fact most of the world does the same now a day. In my opinion, I agree with Hilary Stout’s argument “Antisocial Networking?” as well as “Teenage Social Media Butterflies May Not Be Such a Bad Idea” by Melissa Healy.
The need to communicate with young people is similar to that f children, however, with young people it is also needed to build their self esteem and confidence which will then help them to make friends, as friendships
While Joel is talking about the chat room he explains, “Amazingly the chat room caught on. Not that it was a big fad or anything, but a lot of people stopped by. Most only hung around a few minutes dropped a comment or two, and then cruised off into cyberspace. But a few stayed and kept coming back night after night ” (Carter 209).
Most people would say that social networking is a waste of time and that it cause lots of problems for people especially the young people. Some people think that social networking does not have any positive outcome on one’s life. Some people also say that social networking causes drama in real life and does not have a positive aspect in this society. All those things people said are stereotypes about social networking and people need stop putting a bad name on social networking. People underestimate what positivity things social networking can do for people lives. Social networking can be a good source of learning and can be helpful when using it for the right reasons. Social networking has changed the way young people communicate in society in many beneficial ways.
I don’t agree with Coben when he says to an extant. Everyone can be dangerous and if you don’t monitor it all then anything could happen. Your teenager could be texting this guy who starts saying rude things which ends up with your teen suiciding or becoming depressed. Any irrelevant things you could just block out and not pay as much attention to, but you need to keep your child monitored. It’s easy to stray from safe when everywhere around safe websites are dangerous. Teenagers are curious leading them to try new things. So, they can easily start talking to a stranger, thinking it’s a friend, want to meet them then get kidnapped and murdered. See, what if that was your child and you thought they were just a friend in their texts and disregarded
Digital communication is impairing young users from having real life conversations. For example, in the article “Teens Have A Smart Reason For Abandoning Facebook And Twitter,” the author, Felicity Duncan, reports “If college students spend most of their media time on group text and
Many teenagers are extremely powerless when it comes to instant messaging and online chat rooms. Although they may be aware of the dire consequences that come with talking to strangers while browsing the web, many do not ...
I see many people together yet not speaking or socializing with each other as much as I would like to them do that it just does not occur. Sure many of them can communicate with another if they are long distanced, but what if that person is right next to them and being ignorant and just typing away. I tell my grandson constantly what does the Internet connection help you achieve in life. He responds with "I do not know but it entertains me. "
Being involved socially online can open many doors to hackers and scammers. Posting too much information online can be a way for scammers to steal information.
...ile Steven Pinker believes that social networking is improving society and Sherry Turkle finds it to be harmful to individuals, the real answer lies in-between the two positions. “It is a well-known fact that the web is a valuable asset for research and learning,” stated Sue Scheff in her article “Social Networking Sites Can Limit Interpersonal Skills and Physical Activity,” “…[but] it can also be a very dangerous place” (1). While the Internet is beneficial in gaining knowledge and connecting with others, it will always come with downsides as well because it can become addictive and an easy source for predators and bullies to prey on those who are vulnerable. Ultimately, “it is in our collective interest to ensure that the Internet lives up to its potential as a revolutionary connective medium” (Pariser 11) while being aware of the risks and practicing self-control.
Another way it is harmful to social interactions is through social networking sites. While social networking has the ability to reconnect with old friends, see what family and friends are up to, and stay informed, it also has a dark side. Problems with romantic or even platonic relationships can arise from something as small as who your friends are on Facebook or whom you follow on Twitter. A more likely situation is that romantic relationships could face turmoil if one person finds out that the other has been talking to someone else privately. Under certain circumstances, one partner could think that the other is cheating on them.
When it comes to having an account online it can get quite dangerous. Not only is it dangerous but having the gadget lying around the house or even having their own at a young age can make it easier for them to have easy access to those social media accounts. Parents need to take precaution with their children and the internet. Meeting someone online is so much more different from meeting them in person. It is hard to tell if people and kids are their real age that they put on their information because you can actually lie about how old you really are. There has been many cases where involving younger girls talking to older men, a 15-year-old can be talking to a
The human need for affiliation creates the challenges and rewards of finding acquaintances, forming close friendships, as well as intimate relationships. Through technological advances cyberspace, or the internet, has become a place of multiple opportunities for people to be able to fulfill that need for affiliation. Websites, chat rooms, and online communities are just some examples of virtual platforms for people to seek others, come together, and find that special someone. These opportunities can result in positive outcomes allowing people to achieve what or whom they were seeking, but they can also result in harm to themselves and others, resulting with damaging consequences. Cyberspace does not come with a warning label. People who use the internet as a means to seek relationships are at risk of being exposed to positive as well as negative results. Being made aware of some of those risks and dangers, and realizing that forming relationships on the internet is not all fun and games, may be ways to help promote a positive future for cyberspace as a place to form successful relationships.
Social networking is doing more harm than good in society, if traditional and personal interactions continue to be replaced with conversations through online networking sites, it won’t be long before they are perceived as the ‘norm’. Traditional methods of interaction will continue to be at risk if the effects of social media are not realised. Social networking sites were created as a means of making it easier for individuals to communicate in a timely and efficient manner, they were not created to take over face-to-face communications altogether. The constant use of online networking is doing more harm than good not only individually, similarly through the community
