People in this fast changing world rely on wireless communication for just about anything. Adults even children at the age of 7 or 6 has a wireless device or many from cell phones, to Ipads, tablets, even their own personal computers and laptops!
While communicating online is cool and all, it still would a dangerous zone to be in. It can be dangerous for young people and adults because it can be accessed by people you do not even know or it can be someone that is talking to you on a social network that you know of or might not know of; what if they are not the person you know, what if they are some maniac person trying to get you to do something???? Things can take a wrong turn easily in wireless communication. This world has many people that do just that, from stockers to hackers.
Some ways that you can be safe around situations like this is to tell a parent or guardian something that you saw while either texting or chatting on social networks that might be inappropriate. It could be from your friend or it could be from a total complete stranger, but parents and guardians in this case, can look into the matter more than you can. They can help you resolve this problem or they can just find someone who can. Another way to be safe with communicating wirelessly, is to talk to someone you know or even question them if you are not sure or in doubt who that person is. Think of questions that only the person you do know face to face that knows that answer more than anyone else can. Another idea is that to just not talk to the person at all if you're in doubt.
Now, many other things other than wireless communication can be dangerous, like videos, photos, texts, and other posts on social media or any website going viral. Sometimes videos or photos etc that go viral might be a good thing, but sometimes these things can actually cause harm to someone either physically or mentally or maybe even sometimes both. They can be a good thing because take YouTube for example, people all around the world are posting millions of videos every day more than 2 days or 48 hours worth of videos comes in every minute! These videos sometimes have the main goal: to go viral or become the most popular, watched videos. Out of all these videos that are posted every day, only a tiny percentage of videos ever go viral. Viral videos/photos become viral by mostly online sharing to other people. This is why it's a good thing because the people that posted those viral videos will soon maybe become a star and a sensation to the world because of the viral videos that they made. So the point is that it's easy to post videos, but it's hard for them to become viral.
Viral videos or pics etc can also be a bad thing, because sometimes those videos or photos are inappropriate for young viewers and it can hurt the person in the photo/video or it can hurt the person seeing the photo/video. It can also make other people or maybe even their friends and families think about them in a more different way than they used to. So in the end, viral videos/photos etc can lead to a good future or bad consequences.

I like how you said that things going viral can be good, but it can be bad too. Things going viral can help people who are trying to get a singing career on Youtube or something, but it can be bad if really personal pictures or something go viral.
ReplyDeleteMany online things can hurt people without the people putting them up knowing that it does. Some things that are cool to one person who decides to put it online can be very embarrassing to others and even affect the people who see it.
ReplyDeleteyour right, things going viral can be good depending on what it is. but they can also be bad to the person like you said.
