ThE nEt GeNeRaTiOn
The world around the internet is evolving rapidly and so are the people. The Net Generation is a term used for a certain group of people, who use the internet for: sharing images, movies, emails, stories, etc. I consider myself a member of the Net Generation, for I use the internet and computer to share the above mentioned keeping my privacy in mind.
The Net Generation is a silent danger for the youth, said prof. Ruth Gavison. I admit that the internet has dangers for the Net Generation, but I think that we live in a world of constant danger, and privacy in danger is part of this world. Privacy is something that we are entitled to have. And when that privacy is harmed on the internet because we share too much of information we actually bring our privacy in danger by doing so.
The Net Generation belongs to the 21st century and I don’t think that it thinks privacy is an old fashioned idea. People value their privacy and they would never harm their privacy on purpose. But as I said earlier, we live in a world of constant danger and there are people who will get your private information if you not playing it safe on the net. I say be on the net, belong to the Net generation but do so with certain amount of privacy and safety. I think that a lot of people belonging to the Net Generation, especially the younger ones, should pay more attention to where they leave their personal information on the net. Sharing information I think is good, but know what and what not to share. And respect your privacy.
