My Personal View: Social Implications of IT. Share yours!

Dear Bloggers,

I think there are disadvantages and advantages to everything.

Therefore I think people can actually get bullied using email or Facebook and being misunderstood through email therefore getting very angry and sad.

On the other hand, advantages of a blog for example, is being able to communicate with everyone globally and updating regularly. Also I could help others and treat it like a diary: sharing personal experiences.

Are people in potiential threat of using of communicating via IT?!

Please give your feedback below.

Social Implications of IT when communicating.

Hello Bloggers,

Sophia is back today. Today we are going to be addressing the fact that there are many negativities when using IT when communicating.

Ways of communicating electronically	Disadvantages
E-mail	You will need internet for this which will cost money. You have to sign up for it. Viruses may occur if you open up an email (pop-ups) Email can become impersonal or misunderstood.
Facebook	Sometimes facebook can mess up, and you appear offline which can get you or other people agitated. There are errors on the page therefore you can’t open it.
Blogs	You need internet (it’ll cost you) You have to regularly update a blog. People may write negative comments which will get you upset or angry.
Instant messaging	Cyber bullying may occur because you can open up different chat rooms. You need internet which will cost you.
