Facebook: A wake up call!
Congratulations, because reading week is over. We are technically half way through the semester and students are busy writing papers or getting ready for midterms. Good news is that summer break is just around the corner.
So far 2010 is turning out to be a great year for Canada. At this year’s Winter Olympics, Canadian athletes took home a record breaking 14 gold medals with one of the most monumental being over the United States in men’s hockey. If you went on Spring Garden, you were likely to be smothered by celebrating hockey enthusiasts. All over Canada people expressed their enjoyment showing their support in a number of different ways, chewing gum, purchasing clothes or even lighters.
One of the biggest avenues of expression however was through Facebook with millions of people editing/updating their ‘statuses’. This then brings me to the topic at hand, the security of Facebook.
This new decade ushers in new technology and with this new tech, comes a new way of social networking. Facebook has changed the world as we know it. The site has recently just turned six years old and not only is the site massively popular but it's become a global address book, photo album and bathroom wall all rolled into one. But is Facebook really as safe as everyone seems to think?
