I
got Facebook my sophomore year of high school and it has changed immensely in
the last six years. It has
probably changed four or five times.
Each time is has gotten a little bit more complicated to use in my
opinion. Now with this new
timeline you don’t have to get it unless you want it which I think is a smart
idea on there part because I do not like timeline and I know other people don’t
like it either. This timeline has
opened up a whole new privacy issue.
It exposes you and you don’t even know it. It is a timeline of everything you put onto Facebook. People can find out what you did years
ago, sometimes you even forget what you put on there years ago.
This
article is beneficial to anyone who is concerned about his or her privacy
settings. It explains how to go
private but with the Internet nothing is ever private. In the article it said that you will
have to make the jump from your old profile to the timeline and in that case I
am considering deleting it I thought you had a choice but I guess not.
Facebook
knows that they are having issues with privacy and that is why they have had to
put out this information. That
says something about Facebook, they know they gave a privacy issue and they are
just now trying to make people aware of how to become more private. This should have been all along it is a
public site and some people are uncomfortable with putting things up. My mom just got a Facebook and she
never uses it so she barely knows how to work on the site, considering it
updates so fast she wont be able to use it at all with this new timeline
because she wont be used to it.
All
in all I am not to impressed with the changes Facebook has been making, I don’t
like that I have to monitor what I put up because when I want to delete
something it doesn’t actually delete and future employers will be able to see
that and it makes me look bad.
