PERSPECTIVE


 * PERSPECTIVE: What are the points of view of the different users of social networks? What are the points of view of the familiy and friends of the social network addict/user? **

**SYNTHESIS** Everyone has a different point of view on almost everything including social networks. The point of view from a teacher can be different from the point of view of a student or parent. There can be different perspectives towards why people use social networks too. An adult may use a social networks in a different way than a child or maybe the adult disagrees with the way the child uses the social networks. Some people may think that social networks should only be used for work reasons while others for relationship matter. Or maybe others think that no one should use social networks. Everyone has a different point of view, what's yours?

**// Helping meet new people - Maya May 24 - investigation - Tulia's interview //**

Sometimes people have difficulties meeting new people because they are to shy. Social networks help those shy people make new relationships via social networks and later on after chatting and speaking to each other they can meet up in real life.. This is a very good use of social networks but only if the person is a grown up because if not it can be very dangerous.

**DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW, FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON SOCIAL NETWORKING - Maya May 21 2011 - INVESTIGATION -** **Web Site Link:** http://malenel.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/25-perspectives-on-social-networking/ For every situation there are different points of view coming from different people. This website is very good because it provides 25 different points of view from different people on social networking. Some of them I don't agree with but some are very interesting and from my perspective true like; anti social perspective, language perspective, democratic perspective, etc.

Different points of view!- Vera There's many points of view, they can be bad but at the same time positive, negative because there are chances that you separate from your family and outside life because of addiction, and positive because for example a person needs to do a proyect (homework) and can't go to the library for any reason, and the only source that person can have is using internet. Also internet is a bare necessity, for quick investigations, because let's make that someone needs the definition of a word, instead of looking on a dictionary (that takes lot of time!) you can perfectly type on google "meaning of__" and it appears. These are some reasons the internet is good, but the most important tip is to use it regularly, like not with exageration. However if we go back to the negative consequences, there's some people that spends all of their time doing stupid things (things to LOOSE TIME) Such as in messenger chat, some of them write "hi" "how are you?" "fine" you?" "what are you doing?" nothing" and it continues like this all time!!! that's really annoying, therefore there's another issue in the internet, THE SAFETY. When people are using internet they need to be prepared for any problem that would appear and be responsible for that, a good advice is ask yourself rethorical questions, like: "is this personal information about me?" "Where am I posting it" Who will see my information?" these questions are really important, especially the last one because in the internet nobady know your real identity! you can be an old person that pretends you are 7 years old, it can be anyone!! EVEN A DOG!!

**//Social Networks can reunite us with our family and friends - Maya - 12 May 2011 - PRIOR KNOWLEDGE//**

Everything about social networks is not bad. There can be many positive things about them. One of them is that it can help us to connect with our friends and family. I could have a cousin or a friend, a aunt or uncle or any family member that moved out of my city, country or even continent. They could have moved to Australia for example. It would be terribly expensive to call them by phone and it would take a lot of time to send them a letter. So in cases like this social networks make our life much easier. I could send them an email and tell them lots of things. If their on a social network like skype at the same time as I we could talk and if our computers had cameras we could even see each other and its all free. If we are friends on facebook I can put all my photos and videos up and they could see how I am or what I am doing. So social networks can be a huge help to connect friends and family that live far away.

I think that everyone have a different point of view, it just depends on the person or the situacion for example an addict could think that social networks are the best thing ever been made and that he doesnt care anymore about what people may think, the father of the addict may think that social networks are the worst invention ever, cause it is separating him from his son.

**Laura - 11 May 2011 - PRIOR KNOWLEDGE**

I think that different users have different points of view, like one may have like i love social networks and another one may have social networks are cool but i dont like it so much. The family may be like i dont want my son or my cousin in that computer, i want him/her to be with me! The addict or user opinion is like i love social networks and there is no reason why i should not be in it.
