It is often argue that lots of people including seniors and children even use social media websites. However, if someone shares personal information on social media websites, this behaviour bring about some dangers. There are both merits and dismerits of this trend, however it is my belief that the positive effects certainly override its negative effects. On the one hand, there are several disadvantges of using social media such as Instagram and Facebook. One of the main reason is that children are exposed to inappropriate contents easily when they use social media websites. There are many inadequate contents of information like sexual contents and violent contents in social media websites. Even if children cannot watch the adult contents well, it is hard to eliminate a variety of adult contents in social media. Another reason can be that sharing personal information creates opportunity for exploitation of crime. For example, someone posted some information which include personal information on their SNS accounts, person who wants to exploit information sell personal information to earn a lot of money. On the other hand, this option has two major benefits. First of all, using message function in social media can be on intimate terms with a variety of people even unknown. If someone want to communicate with person who is really liked such as celebrity or friend who wants to be friendly, there will be more opportunities to get acquainted with others. Secondly, people can get tons of good information through images and posts on social media websites. For example, when I want to go to a restaurant which sells delicious sushi in Gangnam, I found out the restaurant which is my favourite to use social media. To sum up, while there are some disadvantages of using social media websites, it is my belief that the advantages should be carefully viewed. |
