○ Insecurity and affectation to privacy. Social media can be dangerous if people
don't control the information they post on their profiles or their passwords and
much personal information can be exposed and available to be used by
others with malicious intents.
Parents should have an open conversation with their children about the benefits and
dangers of social media. A good idea is to learn as much as you can about the
platforms your children are on so that you are more knowledgeable about the subject
and what is happening online.
As an authorized user on your child's social media accounts, you can monitor things
that you wouldn't be able to see as a follower. Hazards are much more likely to
appear in a private message than in an open post. While this is something your child
will likely reject, explain that this will only happen at the start-up stage, and once
they've demonstrated that they can act appropriately online, you can limit their
access to their accounts.
Passwords are critical to maintaining privacy. Instruct your child not to share this
information with anyone but you. Also, these passwords should not include
information that is easy to crack, such as the name of the pet or hobbies, birthdays,
etc.
It is important to establish a schedule for the use of social media and promote other
activities with your children such as go outside, practice some sport and go out with
friends in order to avoid the abuse and addiction to social media.
● Opinion:
Carlos: Although social media can be very useful, if you use it too much you’re going
to see the disadvantages. You can use social media but be careful, because
everything in excess is bad. Like Uncle Ben said in Spiderman, “with a great power
becomes a great responsibility”.
Alexa: I think that social media has many advantages and can be really positive if
people use it carefully and with control, but I perceive that the majority of people use
it in a descontrol way and spend all day checking their social media even when they
are reunited with their family or friends, so it is really important to take attention to the
time that people invert on social media and try to take time to do other activities that
can be more healthful and enriching for the personal development.
Ivan: In the coming years, with artificial intelligence and 5G technology, algorithms
will determine more than our own will the course of our lives. That nobody thinks that
such decisive changes in communication will not have consequences on the
organization of society itself and on its political structuring as we have known so far.
The future is very long and the determining changes have just begun.
