Post 5:
Cyber bullying and privacy are inter connected
Cyber bullying
is becoming common nowadays because of privacy and security issues in virtual
world. Victims are bullied because of their negligence on the social media
accounts or if they share their passwords with others. Most of the experts recommend
tip sheets for teens, children and adults but if we talk about future it will
be continuing in 2030 as the experts researched that future innovations will
make online privacy worst by 2030 than now (Hooijdonk, 2014, para 2) means Cyberbullying will not come to end in next ten years that will impact on the personal relationships. Hooijdonk explained that in
2030 there will be a small group of people who will not use social media sites
because of privacy concerns (Hooijdonk, 2014, para. 4). It is true that to stay
in virtual world, it is important to share the things publicly with others for making
connections and when it comes to privacy concerns, it is thoughtful for online
friendship which can be done through “100 % transparency” or “100% Privacy” that
will provide a secure world (Cohen, 2014. Para 7). In transparency people will
share every part of their lives with others whereas in privacy their accounts
will be secured and managed by the companies. In both cases it will effect on interpersonal personal relationships. It is possible that in 2030, there
will be a “post Facebook” and “post Google” world in which they will not
required to use social media sites and they will be connecting others through
their smart phone apps (Cohen, 2014, para. 7). All in all, privacy issues can be dominated by
social media companies in 2030 (Cohen, 2014, para. 10) that would be helpful
for lessening the Cyberbullying in 2030 and effect on their personal relationships.

Hello Sandeep,
ReplyDeleteI find your post very thought provoking and I agree with your thought that cyberbullying
is very common nowadays. Social media made easier for people to find friends and enlarge their social capital. On the contrast, people become victim of cyberbullying due to privacy and security issues in an online world. As you mentioned in your post that in near future 2030 it is expected that cyber bullying will be continue and cyber privacy will be the issues of digital society. I would like to add in your post by sharing very informative article in which almost 38 experts had predicted the future of cybersecurity. I would recommend you go over it to enhance your information on that particular topic.
