How does Privacy Matter?

With abundant resources available these days one can easily do things and simplify the work faster than that of two decades backwards. As technology seems to take over most of human beings` job, more and more simplicity takes place at any time in life course. Unfortunately, as a matter of fact, since information moves faster than before, privacy becomes something that matters for certain people. Nevertheless, a huge percentage are unaware of how easy could a single click on your finger tip affect yourself in the long run. 

Additionally, what differs old generation from today's generation is the present of social media. Social media plays a huge role in today's teenagers. A lot of information is escalated through facebook, one of the well-known social media existed in 2004. When most information could be obtained through hard copies in the last two decades, nearly everything is available online nowadays.

Although we can, at any time, get information by simply visiting websites, real threats are unavoidable. It is believed that since facebook came into practice, the majority of teenage girls, if not all, have exposed themselves freely in the public space in an online platforms such as facebook, twitter, instagram, and other personal accounts. Posting photos and videos have become familiar and considered legitimate, but the hidden threat is actually taking advantage of anyone regardless the ages. 

Cyber crime is real and has caused more harms than good to most teenargers globally. Endless numbers with the majority of girls have been the object of sexual harassment and freud for the past few years. This number, if compared to when facebook didn't exist yet, is indeed so big. By all meas, the existence of social media creates the so-called life threatening impact on teenage girls largely.

However, given that fact that social media has indeed been so helpful in connecting people with almost everything, what matters a lot here is how privacy is treated. So many young teenagers are not mature yet and misuse the social media by uploading pictures and videos freely without thinking the effect that may occur in the long run. Simply said, inappropriate pictures and personal videos can easily trigger the unknown users who intend to cause harm to the target. Consequently, what is on social media, without maintaining privacy, is anyone's. 

A lot of news has further explicitly described the violence as a result of misused social media is not a joke. Setting privacy is a way to avoid the problems ahead. But it should bear in mind that no matter how privacy something is, in social media everything is considered less privacy. It is best to be wise to select the information before sending, to choose the appropriate pictures before uploading, or even be careful with the videos before clicking the share button. Once one decides to share it to public that ideally means to let others consume it without needing a consent form.

Anyway, social media like Facebook presents far more benefits if used wisely. With good time management, self cautious, and highly alert self awareness, anybody can gain multiple advantages with the help of fast moving technology in this amazing era.
