OUR CONCLUSION AND PERSONAL REFLECTION

Tien Seng’s and Ivan’s
What we can conclude from the project is that the pitfalls that may not be very apparent on the social networking sites are totally dangerous. People these days use social networking sites more frequently can be due to the hectic workload that bothers everyone in the society – thus such sites provide an avenue for them to stay connected.
We do not discourage people from joining the social networking sites. There are many advantages actually; the sites are really cool and interesting, and it is more convenient because one can just stay at home to get connected to many friends, despite the distance apart.
Everyone has his/her part to play when it comes to online security; after all, the choice to upload any information is on the individual.
Hence, be aware of the hazards and happy surfing~ (:

I enjoyed doing the ITLG project on Social Networking as I learnt more about the benefits and dangers of social networking. Social networking allows us to have more friends as we get to know more about them online through services such as Facebook. However, there are dangers such as privacy issues since personal information can be stolen and we can become victims of identity thief. I learnt how to work with my teammates to do research on social networking because of the blog. The project was definitely beneficial to my learning and I will be more careful about my personal information on the internet.
