There has been a change of plan for my blog!! I was supposed to be writing an article on music and how recording has changed over the years....I still intend on doing that but something came to my attention last night that really interested me! Social networking! Anyone who knows me via MSN messenger, twitter, Facebook will know I am online most of the time while I'm working! And more and more people are changing why they use the internet. I was talking with a friend last night and he was having problems on twitter with a certain person who would not leave him alone, she actually began to get quite nasty, so he had to report her to twitter! It really made me think.
Why on earth do people think that just because you are onine, wanting to chat and make new friends that they have the right to pester you if you don't want to talk to them?! A few years ago the internet was just for buisness, no one had heard of SOCIAL NETWORKING. It was all about building web sites and finding new customers, and now the money that's to be made is in social networks!
Now a days all kinds of people use the internet. House wives, single parents, children, grannies and grandads. The list is endless, I've been doing some research today and everyone I spoke to was using the internet because the were bored, or were not getting enough attention at home, or even wanted to find someone to have an affair with. One woman I spoke to purely goes online for the soul purpose of meeting men she can flirt with and have an internet relationship with. There's nothing wrong with doing this, I chat to all kinds of people, I met my sons father online, and I've made some pretty good friends too, but my point is, can it go too far?????
I had an experience with someone recently,he was never interested in having a real conversation, he just used to send me dirty private messages, even after I'd told him I wasn't interested! So the end result was, he got blocked! The scariest thing is, when you are a regular user of the internet, there's no way to protect yourself from coming across these people, even if you haven't yet, you will! So be careful!!
everyone flirts and has conversations that maybe they shouldn't sometimes, but there are people who will take it too far!
Makes me wonder what the next ten years of interneting will bring?
Keep smiling.
