Let's Talk About... Social Networks pt 2

Hi there!
I'm back with the second part of the post about Social Networks!

Most of you are probably thinking why you are still reading this. Well, because this blog is FABULOUS!

Okay, maybe not.

So yesterday I talked about the positive aspects of the web, today I'll talk about the negative aspects instead!

 Oh yes.

I've always thought the internet was a way to waste my time FANTASTIC!
Then I realized that it could be a bad thing.

You know, lots people - mostly teenagers - are addicted to the internet and its websites.

I've had lots of experiences similar to it. Well, I told you I'm a loser and I'm totally an attraction for bad luck. I'm not superstitious but..
Okay, let's talk about it.

Facebook:

When I joined the site I thought it would have been great to talk to lots of people and post something about me. Then after a couple of weeks I received lots of requests by unknown people. They were from Africa, China -something like that.- and I don't know anyone who lives in there.
I didn't know those people so I haven't accepted them as friends 'cause I was scared of them.
You know, I was almost thirteen and there were so many news about kidnapping people because of that website. So I got scared and I preferred to accept only who I knew for real.
You might be wondering "How can you be kidnapped because of a website?".
Well, people used to - and they still do- made friends in that website and they used to date each other so it happened. A man kidnapped a girl of 14 years old and he released her like two months later.

It made me think a lot about Facebook. You know, It's pretty worrying for a 13 years old to hear that kind of news about a social network I used to use everyday.
Last year I deleted my profile for lots of reasons including this one. Then I decided to create another because I wanted to talk with some friends of mine who don't live in my town.

I have still a profile on Facebook but I accept only people I already know.

Youtube:

I can't really find a negative experience about it! It's kind of impossible.
The bad experiences about Youtube are when there are ads on the video hahahah.
I'm serious!

I can't find bad experiences about Instagram and Twitter either hahahahah

Here it is the list of the negative things about social networks:
1. Requests by unknown people. You can't imagine what accepting them could bring to you - I mean bad things or good things-
2. You could become asocial. You'd probably want to stay all the day on the internet and it is wrong. You should go out!3. The ads on Youtube. Admit it! The ads are your worst nightmare!4. Cyber bullying. I do not forget about this things! Bullying is horrible but cyber bullying.. well I think it's worse. People judge you even if they haven't never seen you.
5. You can start to not understand the difference between reality and the virtual world. I knew a girl who had this problem, she had to go to rehab because of it.
6. Privacy is almost non-existent. Every thing you post in every site can be seen by everyone so you better not post your cell phone number or your address.
7. It can bee addictive. You might start to be addicted to it. 



I don't have other ideas so.. as I told you yesterday you can send me emails or you can tweet me if you think I forgot to write something in the list!

Question of the day: Do you think there are more positive or negative aspects about social networks? Why?

Let's Talk About.. Social Networks pt 1

Hi there! How are you?

Hope you all are fine! Okay.. I wanted to start talking about my past experiences about...

A LITTLE BIT OF SUSPENCE...............                                           SOCIAL NETWORK!

Oh yes I know you will keep reading this post ha ha!

Well, I don't know about you, but it's been five years from when I started surfing the net.

Believe me or not, that's the truth!

At the beginning I used to like the games in my computer so I didn't use it for anything else but games. Then my Geography teacher told us to do a research about something I don't remember and we had to do it on the internet. I was in the sixth grade and I didn't know anything about the internet. So I asked my mom and she told me about it and she helped me doing the research. But that's not what I want to talk about.I'll talk about how I knew some websites.

                               Yeah, it all has begun with this research.

YouTube

I found out this website three years ago -Yes, that's pretty weird. I already know it.- and it was thanks to a friend of mine. She told me about this site and I got curious so I decided to check it out and I fell in love with it.
At first I wanted to post some cover videos on a channel I created with my brother but when He decided to move in London I had to change my mind.
I have another channel now, but I only use it to favorite, like and dislike videos. Nothing else.

And my friend told me about Facebook too.

I was at home with her and she asked me if I had a Facebook account. I didn't know what she was talking about. -Well, I didn't know about Youtube.. How could I have known about Facebook?-
She showed me the site and I thought.. That's pretty cool! But I was wrong!
Let me tell you why. After a couple of weeks I was signed up in the website, I was already tired of it. But I kept my profile 'cause even if FB is boring it has its good things.

Then I knew about Twitter, but this time I found it out on my own.

I was on FB checking out the news when I noticed lots of people talking about this ''new'' social network. I got curious and when I found it I thought it was cool and then I signed up.
I like that website, I have lots of friends I knew there. That's why I like Twitter, I made beautiful friendships thanks to it.

And the last one I am ''addicted to'' is... Instagram. Yup.
You know, I LOVE PHOTOGRAPY, I love taking photos of everything I see.. so when I found out Instagram I was very happy!
I have posted more than 300 pictures in my Instagram profile hahaha. I told you I'm obsessed with taking photos! 
                                                
                                                          Don't judge me

So, as you can have understood, the topic of today are the SOCIAL NETWORKS and their positive aspects.

 YAY                  YAY                                YAY

Now, I'll do a list of the positive aspects I know about social networks:
1. You can make beautiful friendships. Twitter
2. You can share your memories -with photos for example- Instagram
3. You can keep in touch with some relatives or friends you haven't seen for a while. Facebook.
4. You can share your music or you can simply watch videos of every genre. Youtube.
5. You can share your thoughts. Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

I have no other ideas hahahhah.
Seriously, if you think I have to update the list with other things.. leave a comment below or tweet me or email me! 

Question of the day: What do you think about Social Networks?
