About My Term Paper

I conducted my research through Baruch College Lexus Nexus data base. The vast information provided through article, books and magazines was enough information to write the term paper on efficiently and effectively.

While conducting my research I learned a lot about how little users are aware of what privacy then have when it comes to social networking. I also learned how valuable personal information is to companies and how easily we as users give it away.

My major finding was really when I read an article on how companies are more and more willing to turn towards checking social networks when considering candidates for employment. It was shocking how privacy, something society has been so careful not to expose, is becoming so readily available to just about anyone.

I believe my paper will contribute a little more to "new media" because a lot of information I've collected and spoke about was targeting and shedding light on what we as users are doing wrong and how we're being taken advantage of. I also included information on how we can use social networks to our advantage and how to steer away from revealing information that could lead to life altering consequences.
