Online Communitie - connected and disconnected?

Being a member of the online community helps to be aware of everyone around you and stay connected with people that you hardly meet. It can be of advantage or of disadvantage.

advantage being you are allowed to socialize with your friends around the world and can stay up to date with what is going on in their life. You can make plans with friends online and stay organized in groups using face book or group chat in msn. however there are disadvantages

disadvantages like everyone knows about you. you cannot hide anything from anyone even your employer. not having a Face book or a twitter account can also turn against you.

as discussed in class employers can go online and learn about you. when they figure out that your do not have a facebook or a twitter account they realize that your not open minded or are not social. Things like that may turn against you into being employed vs protective.
