Youths and social networks

As far as I am concerned, nowadays technological devices are present in our lives at all times no matter where we are. We live in a society which is completely addicted to all kind of electronic gadgets and although there are many advantages to all these useful advances, I believe that there are also many disadvantages.

 On the one hand, there are many positive points as thanks to the internet and to all those technological devices, we have unlimited access to things such as any kind of information, e-mails and videos among many others. Actually, today you can even go shopping online without having to leave your own house which is something that saves you a lot of time as you are brought to your doorstep anything you have decided to buy. Moreover, if you are far away from home, you can speak to everyone you want via Skype, whatsapp or any other social network, no matter where you are, as you can always get online.

 On the other hand, it is also true that it is difficult to put up with things that come from the internet such as spams, junk e-mails, and people hacking into other people´s laptops to get information. There are many dangerous things when it comes to social networks especially for children and teenagers as for example, giving too much personal information about themselves. There are many people who take advantage of these naïve kids by pretending to be their friends and then kidnapping them or finding out when there isn’t anyone at home in order to be able to rob the house.

Overall, I believe that although being a techno-lover has many advantages such as having information available everywhere, it also has various disadvantages with which we have to be very careful and make sure that everyone, especially youths, keep the dangers in mind.
