Be Your Own Privacy Protector

  Have you ever been in a condition while you felt badly stuck, bored, angry, and broken-hearted and all you need to do is release them to the whole world so you can relieve your burdens?, or have you ever been in a position when you wanted to speak up your brilliant idea to many people? Just do be grateful because you live in modern life. Social networking is available so you can share everything in your life to many people all over the world.

     If in the past years teenage girls who felt in love or frustrated of love usually kept it as a secret in their diaries, in this era, you will hardly find the place to hide your feeling. You can check your home page in Twitter then you will find many girls, also boys, who express their feelings about many things,include in that the very sensitive feelings, like love and hatred.
      Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Myspace are the examples of social media networking. If you have a spare time, use it to observe social networking. It will make you surprise to see many things have changed and happened in this era. Those accounts will make our life easier to be connected to many people. It's good for us to promote something. So, more or less it will be so helpful if we know how to maximize the advantages of social networking. Besides the advantages of social networking, there are also the disadvantages. For examples: I found some strangers whom I didn't know at all, used my photos for their profile picture on their Facebook account and put them in their gallery. They act bad things like that without asking my permissions first then I also found stalkers who really want to know more my real life. Well I have realized and thought about the benefit and loss, before I go on with social networking. 

     Two bad experiences from social networking have proven that social networking changed people's thought about privacy. Some people probably think that entering someone's life too far is just fine. The openness of the social networking users often makes the other people tempt to cross the privacy line so that many problems had happened then.

       What should be reckoned here is the fact that social networking is consisted of many users with different condition, such as personality, culture, education and of course motivation. It's impossible to guarantee that all of the social networking's users are good people. This kind of things should be realized to all of the users so they can be more careful with social networking.

     Curtains are made so the people in one home can protect their privacy and avoid themselves from the blazing sunlight. One simple thing to to protect ourselves from intruders of privacy is to put curtains behind our windows. This is not about closing our own self completely so we are alienated to the technology development. Put a curtain means that we try to protect our own privacy wisely and considered what we should post in social networking. Something which is too personal and not important to be shared to the other people is better is better kept away from social networking. It should be applied when we want to put our photos in social networking too. The more we open our self to the social networking, the more we take our privacy in risks!

      Everyone puts a major role in protecting his/her own privacy. Social networking may be harm or helpful, it depends from our wisdom to use social networking. If you think that your capability of protecting your own privacy has not been good enough, it's safer for you to stop existing from social networking.
