Technology have been playing a vital role in our current life. From people sharing their feelings on Facebook to potential candidates browsing for jobs on LinkedIn. Everything could be done using the latest technology through social networking. Facebook, currently is the most famous social media network which connects people instantly. It helps people to keep themselves up-to-date in front of friends and family. According to the magazine, 'Being There', " Of course all Facebook status updates are fresh when they're written and I,m often slow reviewing everyone's post; it's my fault when I'm stuck with day-old news about pork, bread and marmalade". Moreover it helps many big corporations/firms during their busy season, to interview via Skype since they have lot of candidates who applied for different positions within their firm. This increases the productivity of conducting interviews compare to in person interviews.
Although social networking has lots of benefits it still carries lots of drawbacks with itself. When you are engaged majorly on social sites then you are under radar of exposing yourself to the third party sites and hackers which can exploit your personal information. That's why many of these social sites have shown their concern towards users privacy. They are implementing new settings and upgrades which could minimize the occurrence of negative events. In the article, ' Who Cares About Facebook Privacy? Students Do' its says, "The authors speculate that the increased privacy interest could come from public attention devoted to the subject, from more changes in Facebook’s default settings, or from prompts that Facebook shows users". This indicate that Facebook are interested in keeping their users privacy safe and have shown concern.
