Social Networking: A Purposeful Loss of Privacy

 More common than ever are social networking sites. We all use it to establish contact with old and new mates. It helps us to be aware at the same time of what our friends are up to, without calling each one. Everyone is aware of what websites such as Facebook do but how it can impact potential employees of big corporations is NOT known to anyone. Many large corporations now search their Facebook pages for inappropriate images or posts of entry-level employees. Companies fear that their lives in their personal lives can prevent their workplace success. Not only do workers lose their anonymity, but even those who do not use their privacy settings are lost. Believe it or not, many users post entire birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers, raising the possibility of identity fraud.

    I’m really intrigued by your topic for your paper! I know I personally love to over share on social media at times but have always strived to keep my online history work - appropriate. It would be interesting to learn about the repercussions that social networks have on people who share something against their company “image” and the implications on wether or not what you say online should impact your job even if you’re a good employee. There is definitely a blending of the lines between work and personal life due to social networking

    Rehab, you have chosen a very interesting topic for your paper. I have chosen a similar topic regarding the Social Media privacy and the use of AI and Machine learning in invading this privacy. Yes all major companies are searching employees private social media accounts and dig out anything that they can use against their employees and now with the use of machine learning and AI, they can do that in the matter of minutes for an entire company. I have no doubts that in the near future this very comment on this blog will land on my future employers desk as part of the profit my entire social media activity package.

 The ability to watch 4k films at home would be a new media form. This helps you to feel the movie movement. The film can also be seen from the headset of virtual reality, in order to experience the film as a whole. I think that will eventually be created because it already exists in movie theaters in the future. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many technologies have now been made sufficiently advanced to make life easier at home.

Advice

      I can do a lot when I am named to establish a university by Baruch College via new media. One is to have a forum where students can hold talks, regardless of what they do. As a Baruch undergraduate, when you're a commuting school, it's rare that you interact with others. It's the same when you go in classrooms and I never deal with Weissman students as a Zicklin graduate without becoming an optional liberal artist.      The use of social media to chat about Baruch alumni 's accomplishments would be another idea. Creating a page where students can share their thoughts and how Baruch helped them will help undergraduates and graduates after graduation. It's also the case that undergraduates like me are first-generation graduates, and we don't have much advice about what to do after college. Being willing to communicate with Baruch Alumni can help Baruch students develop a background and make it their own.      Last but not least I would re...

 Snapchat and Bitmojis-as soon as I see the term avatar-the first thing that comes to mind are "Bitmojis". Bitmojis are animated representations of people themselves, which they use on their social media pages. To use Bitmoji, what I'm just doing is installing the Bitmoji app from the app store, and then essentially making a version of myself, using all sorts of choices that I think will better suit me. Here is an example of this-
