Few today remember the old party lines, but social networking is much like these party lines. Networkers must be careful what they say because the world is watching. While networkers have the ability to IM and chat one on one, much of what is said on social networks is viewable by the public. Like the old party lines, there is no privacy when everyone can see what is said.
privacy issue is hacking. Because social networks do not offer security measures for their users, many of the computers used by networkers are vulnerable to hackers. Every bit of information on a networker’s computer becomes available to those skilled in this science, often without the knowledge of the networker.
