Social Networking Websites...

Assignment: Apply a social/ethicla issue to the idea of social networking websites.

Reliability:
The issue i was assigned was reliability, which refers to how dependable an IT system is. When it coms to networking sites such as facebook, myspace, or twitter, thye can be relaible in some senses and unreliable in others. One of the purposes of networking sites is to keep in touch with friends and family you don't see ofetn. Or to simply send messages to those you need to. In this sense these websites are reliable becuase they're a method of communicating with others. ANy message you want to send to someone can be sent via threse sites. It's also a relaible way of sharing pictures, videos, and information.
Another purpose of these webistes is to ceonnect with old friends who you may not have seen in a while, or network with new people. In this sense you cannot always depend on these wesites. Poeple can fake information about themselves, and put up random pictures, saying its them. Stalkers and online predators can make fake accounts and try to add people and get to know them, with ulterior motives. This sense of unrelaiblity can make sicializing websites dangerous if one isn't careful on them...
