No doubt that new technology affects all of us in many different ways. We can now access any information that we need because there are already lots of websites that we could use as our source such as google and yahoo. We can also get information of other person through social networking sites such as twitter, facebook, myspace, tumblr and many more websites. It's also very dangerous to put so much personal details because when a person decides to go in public, everything that he posts there can be viewed by everyone so for me, if you would like to be safe in the internet world, you should not put all the personal information about your yourself or even your family. Nowadays, new technology changed the way we communicate with our family and friends, for instance, if we're gonna tell our friend to hang out even if she's just 100 steps away, instead of telling her directly, we usually text her for faster deliverance of the message. The traditional way of communication has been already fading slowly through this kind of new technology, it also makes people less expressive of what they feel and instead of saying it directly to the person, he or she will say it through email or text. All of these new media is somewhat good and bad, it is good because we can all use it to tell everyone how we feel but it is bad because some people use it for bad intentions.
New media does not limit our personal freedom because we are free to post what we want, want we think and feel. It allows us to express ourselves in a modern way. It is a fast medium for instant feedback and that helps a lot specially in work and at school.
The bottom line is that technology is already there but it is on us people to use it in a productive way in order to be a good netizen and as a healthy individual.
