Have you ever logged onto facebook, looked at the newsfeed page, see a friend's status and wondered why she/he had to tell/show the entire facebook community that? I know that you can choose who sees what or something like, but it almost seems like there are some people who have forgotten about privacy. I have one friend who is like that. She will report to everyone if her period is late, what her phone number changed to, that she is leaving the house and doesn't know where she is going, all of her symptoms if she is sick, when she is fighting with her husband and over what. I wonder if she has a censor button or she just wants to tell the world every little thing about her. Nowadays, I don't even have to call her to see what's going on in her life. All I have to do is log onto facebook and read her daily drama. I don't know why she feels like she can/should tell everyone everything. People know that hackers and thieves are using these online communities to steal information. I know people are always on facebook's case about they are not guarding everyone's privacy the way they should, but if hackers can get into top secret government online files and such, why don't you think they can get past facebook's security? I read that thieves watch facebook, waiting for someone to post that they are leaving town so they know which house/apartment to break in to. So what do you think? Do we put too much of our lives online, practically baiting thieves to take what they want? Or is it okay because that's how we communicate with each other now?
