Re: Social Networks
I still find social networking to be inherently creepy and big brother-ish.
What I find appalling is that the younger generation does not seem to grasp the sensitivity of their personal data. People nonchalantly throw up their personal info, raunchy photos, and information on the Internet. And then they act surprised when other people see that picture.
"OMG my naked picture got leaked on the Internet."
Yes...a risk inherent with sending digital pictures of your snatch to your boyfriend.
I love studying human behavior. My observation is that the social technology bubble has expanded faster than humans can keep up with it. The younger generation hasn't been properly educated on security, and the older generation hasn't caught up with the rapid expansion in social technology.
Back in my day we didn't post personal shit to websites. And if you want to see my wang you come to my house and close the door.
There are going to be immense social repercussions with social networking.
