The Effect of ICT on our personal and social life
ICT has made socialising with friends a lot easier and cheaper, it has also added a great deal to what we do in our free time, and how we now share our personal life with the internet.
The internet is one of the main ways we now socialise simply because its easy and basically free, wether it be the internet on our phone or via the internet on computers/laptops we can talk to our friends wherever we are. Facebook, Twitter, MSN, Blogs, Skype are all methods of how we socialise with friends online.
In a way it has taken over people's lives as a lot of people find it hard to go a day without checking their facebook/emails or blogs.
The news story below describes this and tells us about what facebook is really interested in.
Because of the lack of privacy many things that people post on these social networking sites can be seen by friends, family, employees, this has lead to arguments between people, and it can even lead to be loosing their jobs as a result of their manager or a colleauge seeing something inapropraite they have posted. Due to facebook being easy to use and free it means it is popular but is this a good thing? it has had a big impact on our lives as it has almost taken over our lives in terms of how much time we now spend on the internet. Especially now it has become available and phones and ipods it means these sites can be accessed wherever you are, being able to speak to people and updating their status's to let people know they are 'currently in town' which really nobody needs to know but it has become a habit and a way of life
