Social Networking

There are various uses for social networking in our daily lives. From the article "Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting," companies are using these social networking sites to find future employees. Linkedin is a site that allows you to connect with others in the corporate world and creates them to take a look at your resume you post. I don't have a Linkedin account but I heard everyone somehow has one which is kind of scary.

Facebook is another social networking site. I'm sure it is the most popular social networking site. It allows you to connect with old friends, post pictures, and update statuses. I think that is a positive. I, myself, connect with my friends from elementary school. But on the other side, it is negative. Many people nowadays are deleting their facebook accounts. From the article "Facebook Exodus," people believe the site just sucks you in. Once you start an account, you are instantly addicted to it causing you to forget about anything else in your life.

In the future, I believe there will still be social networking sites. Not that there will be new ones, but the ones that are present right now will continue to grow in popularity in the future. I don't see an end to these sites. I know once I get older, I might not use my sites that often, possibly deleting them. But once I delete mine, I'm sure that those in the younger generation will then start one. How much more innovative can you get to create a new social networking site is to be determined.
