...Social Media – Helpful or Harmful? Pamela Cole Dr. Katrina Zaleski English 090 09/05/2012 With the advancement of technology and the rise of social media, would you consider it helpful or harmful in today’s society? Everywhere you go it’s inevitable to see someone either texting, tweeting, or on Facebook. No matter how you feel about it, social networking seems to be the source of communication today. Social networking is very helpful in many ways such as communicating, searching for employment, and employment verification. We are able to communicate and search for people whom we have lost contact with through Facebook, texting and instant messaging. Individuals can even search for employment, post and send resumes without ever stepping into a Human Resource department. The negative side of social media is that you actually don’t know if you’re in contact with the correct person when you are communicating online. Through tweeting, burglars and robbers can predict when they can most likely burglarize your home when you are not there. Social dating sites like Christian Mingle and Black People Meet are sites for meeting people of the same beliefs and character as you. Anyone can join these sites but how can you verify this information without ever meeting them? What about the old time way of courtship and meeting people? Another social networking website that seems to be harmful is Facebook. With Facebook you are able...

...software, is software used to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content, and other software. 'Malware' is a general term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software. Malware includes computer viruses, ransomware, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, keyloggers, dialers, spyware, adware, malicious BHOs, rogue security software, and other malicious programs; the majority of active malware threats are usually worms or trojans rather than viruses. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, as in the legal codes of several U.S. States. Malware is different from defective software, which is a legitimate software but contains harmful bugs that were not corrected before release. However, some malware is disguised as genuine software, and may come from an official company website in the form of a useful or attractive program which has the harmful malware embedded in it along with additional tracking software that gathers marketing statistics. Software such as anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewalls are relied upon by users at home, small and large organizations around the globe to safeguard against malware attacks which helps in identifying and preventing the further spread of malware in the network. 2) In what ways has CNB solved e-mail problems?

...My topic is Internet’s influence on children In my opinion, Internet today is rather harmful for those, who are in the young age. Well, it also might be harmful for adults, at some point, but it’s not my topic. However, if one knows how to use internet, its quite beneficial. About children, let’s take, for example our growing generation that around 10-14 years old. Have you seen them somewhere on playgrounds, or such places? I bet you haven’t. What do you think they are doing during their free time? They are carelessly spending it in the Internet, mostly in social networks. Well, maybe it sounds fun, but I don’t see any good in children spending great amounts of time in front of the screen. I’m too afraid to picture the aftermath that is going to happen in about 10 years from now. But, according to my current observations, I got a very bad feeling about it. Speaking of my observations, from time to time I visit some public places, and I see lots of teenagers sitting in groups and it all seems nice, except for one thing, EACH of them holding a PHONE. Just imagine – 4 teenagers sit around a table, each of them stares at the phone’s screen and scrolling facebook and at the same time they try to communicate. And believe me, that’s not just an accident, I’ve seen enough of such cases. It looks weird, what is the point of going somewhere public if your mind is in the online world? Well, I do not blame entirely these teenagers. It is not their fault. The ones to blame are...
