Hello we are Marina and Sara and we are going to tell you about computer risks and dangers.

First of all, we will show you two lists, one positive and the other negative things about computers:

POSITIVE

• You can get a lot of information
  very quickly with Google,
  Wikipedia, etc.

• Facebook is dangerous- You can never eliminate any photo or comment.

Actually teenagers are the most addicted to technology especially with computers because from a very young age they are introduced with it.

There are a lot of social networks but the most important are Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook → It's the first social network. His creator is Mark Zuckerberg. In Facebook you can talk with friends and meet new people. You can add photos, videos and you can play games too.

We think that Facebook is addictive because once you start with conversation and friends, you always want to be involved.

Twitter → It's very popular especially because all the famous people have it.

Singers, models, football players tell their day by day in Twitter.

In Twitter you can do the same things that Facebook but at the moment Twitter is more popular because you can put hashtags and you can meet more people and get more information about people.

MySpace → MySpace was founded in 2003 by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson.
When you were Myspace member, you can create your own profile, then you invite to your friends and you can find friends on MySpace. This people are converted part of you "Friend Space" or space for friends home.

Google + → Google+ is the social integration of all Google products. The design and management of privacy has been careful not to have errors. Regarding the success or failure of this network is too early to say. However, do not forget that the information and conversation are now in open platforms like Twitter.

In conclusion, We think that there are a lot of risks with the computer because however now we would find life impossible without computers and technology!
