Disadvantages that IT brings to a community!

Disadvantages that IT brings to a community!

Although there are many advantages that IT brings to a community there are also downsides. A community may make a Facebook or Twitter account and promise to update it but they may get lazy and just not do anything with it, leaving the community clueless about whats happening.

Disadvantages that IT brings to our lives!

Disadvantages that IT brings to our lives!

Although the internet has done many amazing things for us and has made our everyday routine ten times easier, it also (like everything) has its bad sides. :( 

The internet is a big place with lots of bad people, It can be used in a good way... or a bad way!. As soon as you upload anything on to the internet and your account isn't  set to private literally anyone is able to access your account. ANYONE.It is very easy for people to get your personal details and pretend to be you online. 

The Internet is full of Pedophiles. #Watchoutkids

Advantages that IT brings to our lives!

Advantages that IT brings to our lives!

There are many advantages that IT bring to our everyday routine, just communicating with friends is so much easier. Imagine if you didn't have Facebook? what would you do! Even random things like finding out when the next bus is because you missed the last one is done online via the online timetable. #Nightmare 

You are also able to follow your favorite celebrity's via sites like Twitter and Instagram. Therefore you dont have to buy a magazine and read up about what they have been up too, you just look through there Twitter or whatever.

All in all, the internet has done us all a favor. No arguing about that. 

About my amazing day!

Well so today i went on a adventure! Nah.. not really.. LOL;) the start of today we all did our practice presentations, it dragged on a bit! it was good because i got the experience in talking in front of people, haven really done that in a while. I didn't find it too hard either which is always good! This afternoon we were in the Mac suit doing web development, its actually solid, but I'm sure it'll get easier in time. Thats all folks! have a good day! peace.
