NOTES #3

Asilo, Manlapig and Rementilla(2010) said that teenagers like to use Social Networking Sites because of its features that allows them to share their photos and updated profiles with their friends. In addition it also allows them to keep track of each other and at the same time enjoy its additional features like Farmville and Allies and Empires in Facebook, one of the most popular Social Networking Sites. But align with these positive effects is the danger that it will bring to every users which is the danger of meeting someone you don't know personally and accepts his/her friend request just because you don't want to be called a snob and you also want to increase your number of friends not knowing that by just clicking that confirm button you are exposing your life to a stranger capable of doing anything bad to you or worst kill you by simply looking at your status that is updated every minute to the point that it almost contain every action you are  doing. Most recent example is Director Ricky Rivero being stabbed by someone whom he met online or your admirer whom you busted and can't accept it wants revenge he can easily execute his plans because he knows where to go and what to do , these real events only show the negative side of being so active in online communities.
