It seems that our lives are becoming more and more revolved around the internet. People feel the constant need to hear the latest gossip and newest trends. People tend to forget that on the internet everything is visible to everyone. That is why the internet is a bad place to put personal information on it. Facebook for example allows you to look up any of your friends and get unlimited access to their "life." They can see certain information about the person and the weirdest part is being able to see what they have wrote to other and what others have wrote to them. This allows for others to spy or "creep" on you and your significant other can see any misdoings. I believe that while a social network can be a great way to keep in contact with others and share things about your life, it can still cause harm.
A social network can really not help a relationship very much at all. Yet there are twenty easy ways to screw one up on it. I believe that while a social network is a great idea on keeping everyone close no matter the miles apart, people should give themselves an extra five seconds before posting to think of the repercussions if the significant other saw the post because chances are they will. One of the worst things possible at the workplace is a break up worth a co-worker, and this usually results in a different job for one of the two. That's why social networks play a significant role in watching your partner when you aren't beside them.
i couldn't agree with you more, the internet has it advantages and disadvantages. i normally like the social networks because i have friends out of the country and that is the only way to keep in contact with them due to the time difference. our schedules don't allow us to be able to talk much often but posting things online give us update on what is going on in each others life.
ReplyDeletei also believe people should be careful on what is been posted. they can't just post their personal information out there for everyone therefore, if something happens is their fault not the stalker's fault.
A social network can cause many problems in relationships. Both romantic and friendships. I know a lot of friends who have been in arguements over something on facebook, small things like pictures or comments.
ReplyDeleteIf in a public relationship I think its best to leave it out of the office and keep most of it off facebook also. A relationship should be between 2 people, not those people and all of their 500 facebook friends.
I agree with you completely that social networks have the potential to cause a lot of harm. People lose or do not get jobs all the time because of content on Facebook. It's a little ridiculous and people should think and take a step back before posting something online.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the internet has the possibility of causing harm to a relationship because your significant other could become obsessive with what you are doing and that could cause arguments/uncover wrong doings. I think the ways in which the internet may help a relationship is because it could let others know that you and your partner are in a relationship, which deters some people from flirting or pursuing him/her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that social networking can be bad for relationships. I think everyone has seen the case of someones significant other stalking and becoming practically obsessed with the person's facebook or even have had it happen to them. There is nothing good about that situation. Because things are in text and there's no affect to go along with the words, many things are misconstrued and taken the wrong way. put that misunderstanding into the work setting and you have a nuclear bomb for office relations and productivity.
