Social Network: Pros and Cons

"Do you have facebook?"

This question is getting the first sentence of the conversation when people make a friend in these days. It can represent the current status of facebook as the most popular social network. In particular it is a major way of socialising with friends for young generations by inviting and accepting parties. Likewise we have started to take it granted of socialising based on social network such as facebook. Therefore it is important to consider the pros and cons of social network.

Ther are many advantages of using social network. Most of all people can interact with many peoples with less effort and time if they use social network. They can send invitation to lots of people with a few clicks on the social network. It can save time and money that used to be required if they send mail or ring for the invitation.

Nevertheless there are some concerns to be considered when people use the social network. Especially people are exposed to the risk in terms of digital safety. That's because many people add personal information on their social network. Even though they think their information can be kept safely with the help of password, there are still many rooms for users to be exposed to failure of keeping personal information.

Thus people need to be aware of the possible digital crimes. In terms of legal approach, there should be more concise and clear regulation to protect digital network users from digital crimes.
