“We Post Nothing About Our Daughter Online”
Social media is the number one method society uses to stay connected with family and friends. Moreover, sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram gives people the ability to share those memories with distant family and friends. No longer does distance hinder individual’s ability to share extraordinary moments like- school plays, funny home videos, and birthdays. However, Amy Web argues that many citizens fail to think about the consequences of uploading family and sole photos online.

She did come back to redeem herself with a detail elucidation of her actions. Web 's use of tutelary language and a dissenting point of view on the libelous affect the web has on children. Amy empathizes with societies need to keep friends and families apart of these occasions. However, she still believed people must take cautionary measures. Overall, Amy Web delivers a supportive argument, by exhibiting documented reports, Facebook privacy notice, and research she conducted on-line. She encountered a glory of parents who uploaded every picture of their child 's life, no matter how mortifying it was. She realized how much technology has changed and how it is changing, so she recognized how recollections like this would come back to torment their daughter in the future. Therefore, she stated never would she place her daughter in an invasive position, leaving her to justify these actions later ("Why We Post Nothing—Nothing—About Our Kid …show more content…
Also, algorithms analyze people associated with the children and a comment linked to the photos, and in time as the child grows and deciphers his or her inner circle ("Why We Post Nothing—Nothing—About Our Kid Online”). Web referred to this new technique as digital sin. Therefore, our kids are being born into and exposed by this era. She believed uploaded photos should not link to our children for a lifetime, where anyone online can access them. Needless to say, these particular algorithms deplete the privacy of our

Many young girls are aware that what they are doing on the internet can be seen by others and it can lead to positive or negative reactions from their peers. Orenstein is concerned about younger girls and women and how social media could take a bad turn on things for them. She wants us to know that social media can damage one’s reputation depending on how it is used. Girls post pictures of themselves on the internet in order to attract positive attention from their peers, as well as others who are considered as strangers. They want to be able to seek the attention from others in order to create an audience. As a result of this, Facebook is then used as a “social norm”, meaning that people can judge and form opinions based off of what is seen in an online profile. Orenstein explains that she isn’t trying to put technology in a bad light, because she uses it to keep in contact with her friends and family. She’s mindful about what she puts on the internet, while young adults are making their identities into a
Josh Rose is single father facing difficult times to communicate with his son because the son is growing up in two houses, as he did. The technology and social media are helping them to filling up the time those they we’re apart. We should all care about it because, these are important in our daily life.

The attraction of users to Facebook, or social media in general, isn’t that difficult to comprehend. Over the course of the past 60 years, the percentage of people live alone has increased by 17 percent. In the 50’s it was 10 percent, in 2010, it was estimated at 27 percent. The promise of a greater connection seems extremely attractive to those living in solitary. Here is the irony, what Facebook and Social media provides, differs a great deal from what is needed to create and sustain deeper emotional AND Lasting
Social media and technology plays a huge part in today’s society. People do things and post them up thinking it won’t affect them in the future. Once something is uploaded onto the internet it never goes away. In his essay, “The Web Means the End of Forgetting,” published in July of 2010, written by Jeffrey Rosen, a Professor at Law at the George Washington University Law School and a graduate from Harvard College and Yale Law School. Rosen argues that the issue of social media sites in the new era we are living in is getting hard for us to forget the things we post on the internet like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Instagram, etc.
In the essay “Say Everything” written by Emily Nussbaum, the author presents the argument that young people in this generation do not have a sense of privacy and tend to post whatever they like on the internet. She presents 3 different ideas of what happens when young adults are on the internet.
“The Facebook Sonnet” by Sherman Alexie brings up ideas and controversy over social media because it decreases face-to-face communication. Though Facebook allows people to contact old and new friends, it renders away from the traditional social interaction. Online, people are easily connected by one simple click. From liking one’s status to posting multiple pictures, Facebook demands so much attention that it’s easy for users to get attach. They get caught up in all the online aspect of their lives that they fail to appreciate real life relationships and experiences. Within Alexie’s diction and tone, “The Facebook Sonnet” belittles the social media website by showing how society are either focused on their image or stuck in the past to even live in the present.
Along with establishing her credibility, Lafrance effectively appeals to the reader’s emotions. Her introduction is full of provoking words that creates a sympathetic feeling; Lafrance claims “Many children make their internet debut as grainy gray blobs on Facebook posted ultrasound images before they’re even born.” The thought that a life that has not even been introduced to the real world is already being posted to virtual world, establishes a feeling of sympathy to these kids and anger towards these parents that rush to post their kids online. Lafrance further tries to expand these feelings when she tells that a child who was posted potty training was posted on website ‘commonly used by pedophiles’. The word “pedophile” itself may stir awareness in parents, so
“Social media, a web-based and mobile technology, has turned communication into a social dialogue, and dominates the younger generation and their culture. As of 2010, Generation Y now outnumbers Baby Boomers, and 96% of Gen Y has joined a social network” (Qualman 1). Social media now accounts for the number one use of the Internet, and this percentage is rising bigger every day (Qualman). As a consequence, people are becoming more reliant on social media, which has a led to a number of advantageous as well as unfavorable effects. The world is more connected today than it has ever been in the past, and this is all because of growth in technology. What has yet to be determined though
The growing popularity of information technologies has significantly altered our world, and in particular, the way people interact. Social networking websites are becoming one of the primary forms of communication used by people of all ages and backgrounds. No doubt, we have seen numerous benefits from the impact of social media communication: We can easily meet and stay in touch with people, promote ourselves, and readily find information. However, these changes prompt us to consider how our moral and political values can be threatened. One common fear among users is that their privacy will be violated on the web. In her book, Privacy in Context, Helen Nissenbaum suggests a framework for understanding privacy concerns online. She focuses particularly on monitoring and tracking, and how four “pivotal transformations” caused by technology can endanger the privacy of our personal information. One website that may pose such a threat is Facebook.
Social media is used by many people, young and old around the world as a way to communicate. Our lives have become so busy that it is difficult to maintain family and social relationships. “They use social networking sites including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. On these sites users create profiles, communicate with friends and strangers, do research and share thoughts, photos, music, links and more” (Social Networking). With the use of social media you can be friends with all sorts of people without actually seeing or knowing them. “In many ways, social communities are the virtual equivalent of meeting at the general store or at church socials to exchange news and get updated on friends and families” (Cosmato).
Social media is described as content created and shared by individuals on the web using freely available websites that allow users to create and post their own images, video and text information and then share that with either the entire internet or just a select group of friends (Affilorama, 2012). They are more like a website allowing you to express your daily activities, beliefs, locations, likes, dislikes, photos, music, etc. They are used by creating a profile, and logging in through either the website, or apps now used on smartphones, or any portable device with Wi-Fi connection. Although most social media networks are directed towards adults and young adults, young children are getting into these websites as well. There are usually age limits but there isn’t a certainty that all the users provided their actual age, allowing whoever wants to be a member of these sites to bypass an age limit “security” procedure. Facebook and MySpace require users to be at least 13, but they have no practical way to verify ages, and many young users prete...
In the twenty -first century, teenagers live in a life of social networking and life’s online. It’s hard to believe how much the world has changed over the decades, especially in technology. Technology helps people to contact relatives and friends from long distance more easily and conveniently. People can now talk to each other from everywhere in the world simply through chat and video calls. By time, internet connections have spread throughout households and social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram has increased gradually.

With this advance in technology, more and more people have access to socials networks, especially the youngest ones eager to own the latest high-tech machines.

One of the main reasons why social media has positively affected our society is because of how it has made communicating with people much easier. “Today, four out of five active internet users maintain at least one social media profile” (Moe, 3). Using these websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and etc., people talk about everything with anyone from what they are planning to do, also what they are eating and much more (Moe, 24). Also we can also send private messages to other users of these websites about personal m...
