If you realize how many of your friend or relatives like to update their own status through online media such as facebook, or twitter? I know the answer is ALOT. Nowadays our society is extremely effect by media,everyhting that we thought, every information that we get is from media. If you want to find out about your classmate life, you just go to the facebook and you find anything you need inside. Because everybody now turns to online life, with putting their biodata and information that can seen from all around the world, So what actually happen in the society?

The article by Cecilia Kang is cover about the privacy in the internet ,where by one of the researcher found out People who has put their information online are care about privacy, but most of them don’t do much about it. Danah Byond said “Fundamentally, privacy is about having control over how information flows” when people fell that they have loose control of their privacy that is when the trust will broken. In fact, last December when Facebook announce about the privacy setting, their didn’t lose any users. the current user still exist with broadly their information or make it more private.
Basically, this is the current issue that happen in our society. If you meet new people outside , you may asked their facebook rather that their home address,or phone number. Because you might see it in the their facebook profile.So, with many people it putting their private information online what is the benefit of it?

For example facebook where by alot of people from a huge range of ages become users, They can connect with their old friends from their childhood with provide their personal information which recognize by others. For business, with typed detail of our identity and be honest with our customer, although we never meet each other we can gain other people trust. With having profile in facebook with our detail, people will think that we are person that always upgrade, exist, and aware of technology. With this 3 characteristic, people wouldn’t feel out of the society.

People sign in in every famous social website and post up their details and picture,
including their activity

Despite all the advantages, we believe that everything always have a consequences. I have found one case that shows how dangerous putting detail in the Internet. There is One girl that randomly pick by a sales marketer of one glossary product in their roadshow at downtown. The sales marketer asked her opinion about their product and it will publish the other day on their newsletter. The sales marketer didn’t ask any detail of the girl, only the email address. the other day in the newsletter that has been publish have the girl full name and contact, even state there the institution where the girl studying now.

If it is so easy to find our data in the Internet, it is also easy for other people to wrong use our data. So It’s better for us to keep our privacy that post up and circulate in the Internet
