Using Social Media Websites Wisely

By Hedrick Lepsch


In our modern day and age, most people use different kinds of technology so they can stay in touch with their family and friends. If you look around you at any location you may be at, you will probably find quite a few laptops, iPads, and smartphones. You will also find that the people around you are on these devices quite often. Although technology provides us with many opportunities to connect with other people and receive information, sometimes technology can cause quite a few problems.

One of the main problems that can be found almost exclusively online is people lying about their age. Certain social media websites require children or teenagers to be a certain age before they sign up for an account. All children and teenagers have to do is write a different, older person's birthday on their documentation, and voila! They are free to make whatever social media profile they want. Parents, no doubt, have expected that their children may do so that they can make a social media account even what they are not old enough. It is up to parents to monitor their children and to make sure that they are not making false accounts and getting on social media.

Second is WebEx, which is a tool created by those who have taken mobile app development training seriously. This handy app brings conference calls to a whole new level. Many types of businesses require conference calling and WebEx makes such calls easy to do while traveling. You can share video, documents, and can easily transfer your calls from your mobile device to your computer without disturbance. WebEx is a free application on various devices such as iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, and Android. Another benefit of using WebEx is that with its unique conference call options you don't have to worry about missing an important meeting due to a flight delay, traffic jam, or other unexpected event.

Next, DropBox. This is an excellent app for those who need to open and save large attachments and files while on the go. This app allows you to save items in your DropBox folder and open the file on another device. DropBox also allows you to share your files with others, including employees. Another benefit is the security DropBox provides. If you lose a device, you can remotely prevent others from accessing your information and files.

Eighth- Have the surrounding scenery emphasize the main object. This is called framing and will help enhance the object of interest. Ninth- Cropping is a valuable tool whereby we can emphasize something that would otherwise be lost. This can be done by enhancing the details of the subject you want to emphasize and then eliminating the background loudness.

As a parent, it is important for you to take a stand. Limit the amount of technology your children can use. Limit the hours they spend watching television or on the computer. Children must learn how to interact with other children outside of these things. On the computer, they must learn proper social and online etiquette so that they can have friends and and talk to them appropriately. Social media websites can be very beneficial, but when not used properly, they can cause a lot of problems.
