The internet has provided us with the means to connect with anyone in
the world. The influx of social media and sharing websites have always had
their advantages and disadvantages.
There have been cases of people sharing too much of their personal
information, leaving people accessing bank accounts and even stalking in the
real world. This is a problem which can easily be resolved with giving people
the correct information and a rule of thumb while using the Internet.
Another con is the possibility of lost data, if a website or server is
unavailable for whatever reason information could be lost through trying to fix
the error. If a user is also new to the service or simply inexperienced with
technology they could accidently delete files where they could be no back up.
However, connecting with other people is so important, as humans we need
to socialise. The ability to be able to speak to family and friends the other
side of the world is still very exciting. Programmes such as Skype give people
the ability to connect with people they previously couldn’t.
Information sharing is also important because it helps people to develop
their own knowledge on a subject, one example is Wikipedia.
