My research topic is Social Networking: A purposeful loss of privacy
When we think about social networking, the first thing to hit our mind is Facebook, Twitter, Orkut and Google+. For younger generation of today, 'keep in touch' simply means find me on these sites. Many people use it to keep in touch with all their friends, however it is often misuse. Sharing personal thoughts or pictures of all kinds is fun to some extent, but many of us don’t know it could make a big impact on our professional life too. There has been cases of people getting rejected in their job interview or getting fired because of posting inappropriate things on their social networking profile. Also,hackers can try to steal your personal information and put you in trouble. It raises so many questions towards identity theft.
