The Pros and Cons of Social Networking

Monday, July 12th, 2010

The Pew Internet Project recently reported that 73% percent of teenagers currently use one kind of social networking or another. While this worries some parents, the reality is that social networking has both pros and cons. One of the main risks is cyber bullying, which refers to one person writing negative and harassing things to or about another person. This is just like any other bullying problem a teen might experience at school. While cyber bullying is a real problem, it’s important to consider that there are positive things about social networking as well. Studies have shown that using these sites can improve social skills, can offer an outlet for self-expression and can increase educational development. The bottom line is that it’s important to stay on top of a child’s online activities to ensure they’re using their time wisely, productively – and safely.

How Secure is P2P File Sharing?

Friday, July 10th, 2009

P2P (Peer to Peer) file sharing gives users the opportunity to share files informally using an informal network of computers that are all using the same software. It seems like a great way to collaborate and exchange ideas, but as always there are risks involved. This is not to say that P2P is all bad, but in your case, the risks may outweigh the benefits depending on your situation. When using P2P, be careful to make sure to close out the program when you are not using it, and you may want to consider adjusting default settings to limit what of your information may be saved. Taking these first steps may protect you from sharing information that is private or that you would prefer not to have on the Internet.
