Students from I.I.S. "Capirola" Leno (Brescia, Italy) and from GKC Gnosjö (Sweden) will write about the social communities they like or dislike, how they integrate and use them in their everyday life, what is good or bad about them. And much more! Enjoy it! :)
Hey :)
RispondiEliminaI'm not keen on social commmunities on the net and I don't use them very much: I'm just on facebook (and I use my e-mail address to chat on msn).
I use facebook only to keep in touch with some friends or relatives that I don't see very often or to chat with my schoolmates, ask them about our homework and things of the kind.
I usually chat with my boyfriend and some friends of mine when we don't go out during the week.
When I'm on facebook I upload photos, share links and post comments on them but I seldom use it to make new friends. In my opinion reality is better and less dangerous because on the net you don't really know who you are chatting with, s/he can be a fake and this could be a serious problem.
The best pro about social networks is that everyone has the possibility to find and to take part in a forum when s/he can share his/her passions with people all around the world. I've always wanted to join a community about music, photography or lectures but actually I haven't done it yet!
I use socialcomunities on the net such as Facebook and MSN.
RispondiEliminaMy friends have also a personal blog on the net, but I haven't because I wouldn't like to have one.
I've been a member of Facebook for one year.
At the first, I used Facebook a lot of and I spent too much time on it.
Facebook or other socialcomunities are useful for talking with people or friends that I don't meet everyday, but I also talk with my classmathes.
For example we help us with our homework.
Now, I use Facebook less because I spend less time on the computer.
I think that it is funnier going out and talking with friends.
In my opinion, for teenagers to have Facebook or other socialcomunities is useful as we feel always close.
But you have to be careful just to avoid a social community addiction!
With social communities on the net you can share common interests and activities with other people. It's a way to meet new people who live far away or people who speak another language and so you can face different cultures. Social communities are cheap, fast and simple but there are also cons: for example you spend a lot of time sitting in front of your computer, you stay at home and you neglect other free time activities. With social communities you can only chat with other people, so you don't have a real relationship, a real contact with them. I do not have facebook or netlog because i'm not interested in them. Usually i use msn to keep in touch with my friends who live far away from me, to talk with my schoolmates for example to ask them about our homework or to chat with my relatives. I like msn but i think that it's better to go out with friends, see them and have a face to face contact.
RispondiEliminaOne day I was reading a magazine and I read that a young girl had created her own fashion blog where she expressed what she thought using videos, photos and thing of kind, now she's become famous, her blog is visited a lot.
RispondiEliminaFrom this we can understand that everyone could use social communities to express their creativity. I express one part of myself, using photos that I upload in my facebook profile.
Internet has changed life because when a teenager has some freetime, s/he only stays on the computer and it influence and create a sort of dependence because for example when I decide to spend just a few minutes on facebook, I stay 1 or 2 hours or when I come back home I turn on my pc. To be honest I hate computers but I'm an addict!
I think computers are a vital thing in daily life... especially for teenagers who use social networks such as Facebook, messenger, twitter, skype, netlog to stay in touch.
RispondiEliminaCertainly this issue has pros and cons.
As teenagers tend to spend hours on the computer now, they lose red contacts with their parents, which is not something to be underestimated in my opinion.
If before, in the afternoon or evening, they spoke with their parents about this and that or went for walks or just helped them do something, now, unfortunately, teenagers prefer the computer.
We can also say that using social network help teenagers to meet other people.
We can know new people and make new friends so.
We can exchange opinions, ideas or help each other with our homework.
I think social networks are very important but, as I said before, we should reduce the time we use on the computer and go out and see the real life.
I have had Messenger since i was 12 but i haven't Facebook of Twitter as i think they are not safe.
RispondiEliminaI don't use social communities very often because if i want to talk with my fiends i phone them because on the net i can't express my emotion as there are different types of communication such as body language, for instance.
I think that social commiunities are useful when your schoolmates help you because you haven't understood something at school.
It's important to stay in touch with someone that you can't meet because he/she lives in another place.
But i think that social communities can create a sort of dependence.
I'm not really into "social communities" because I've only a messenger account, anyway I think that the pros of social communities are that on the net you can "meet" a lot of new people from different countries and you can talk with them about different things and topics. Moreover there are a lot of sites where you can create your own blog and there you can share with other peolple your passions and interests. The cons are that people who you don't know can read information about yourself, or someone could deceive you pretending to be someone else. So, my conclusion is that social communities are useful and entertaining but we have to avoid writing too much personal information. To sum up we don't have to stay connected all day long because it could be "dangerous" for our real life: maybe we forget that there are also "real people" we can talk with.
RispondiEliminaI don't use social networks very much, in fact I have been on facebook only from last June and I have had msn for a year.
RispondiEliminaAt first I used them very often, but then I understand that I could use my free time in a better way, even if I can say I don't mind social networks because I have known lovely people thanks to them.
I use social communities only once or twice a week,just to keep in touch with the Swedes or friends that I don't hear very often.
As you know everything has positive and negative sides and social networks too, of course.
In my opinion the pros are: social network sites are like virtual meeting places where people can discuss different topics, there are some people who use these sites as a platform to meet longlost friends or to meet their future love.
Some people also use these websites to promote their blogs, and professional people as a way to be known and get more customers.
Another advantage is that you can chat also with your friends and classmates, and chatting is free, while if you use your phone you spend much more.
Social networks of course help in a lot of ways but there are also cons, such as you show lots of personal information: your name, e-mail address, location and so on so the others can take and use your identity for different types of illegal activities,which may cause you problems in the future.
Another disavantage is that above all young people waste much of their own free time sitting in front of a PC even if there is a beatiful sun outside.
I don't use social communities because I'm not so fascinated by them.
RispondiEliminaEveryone says that with social networks people can stay in touch with their friends who live far away, but I think these could also divide closer people.
I think I could waste so much time chatting, and I don't want to waste my valuable time doing something virtual because this time will never come back.
In my opinion, social communities can become a sort of drug, some teenagers can't stay away from their computers for too long...
Some people, who use social communities too much, aren't able to talk with people face to face.
I know that communicating with people on-line is convenient, because it's fast and free.
But I've understood that I can't use social networks in the right way, so I don't use them to talk with my friends, as I prefeer talking with them face to face, looking at their expressions to understant what they're really thinking.
Bye bye!
Internet is being used all over the world. Young people use it to search information for school, to find interesting news and pictures, to watch videos but above all to stay in touch with friends, wherever in the world they are. They use social networks like facebook, messenger or twitter… I think they are very useful, because first of all if you chat you can save money on the phone bills, moreover you can find people you met a long time ago like childhood friends. Obviously there are negative sides: for example you are stuck in a room staring at a screen for hours, instead of going out and meeting the people you are chatting with. So the real communication goes down, but many people prefer wasting time like that because they find much easier to write things and thoughts instead of speaking face to face!
RispondiEliminaHi there, here's what I think about social communities:
RispondiEliminaPros:
- with social communities you can meet new people and discuss general topics such as music, school, etc.
- it is useful for school;
Cons:
- social communities take you away from life outside and you run the risk of becoming an addict!
i don't use social networks very much, i use only facebook but, you know, i'm never online :)
RispondiEliminaeven if i don't use them, i like social networks because they're a way to keep in touch with the friends that you never see.
Social communities allow us to stay in touch with our friends and meet new people. Thanks to them we can chat with friends, even far away, staying at home. The danger we run is often to chat with strangers, whose real personality we can't know; is it much easier to pretend to be different people behind a screen. More over too much use of social communities could became exessive and cause us to lose our social relations.
RispondiEliminaFor example, I registred on facebook, and often spent the afternoon chatting on fb and visiting friends' profiles, but I could have gone out with them and have more fun.
But, it's also true that instead of calling our friends to speak about homework or about our personal problems, we can chat with them and this is cheaper.
With social communities, you can search some friends you haven't seen for a long time. For example, my mum has found her best friend of high school!
But I think that today even very young guys surf on the net alone, and this can be very dangerous for theme because they can't understand if someone cheats them.
In fact, sometimes, some girls accept to meet someone that they don't know, and this is very dangerous for them.
Parents must be caraful when their children use social communities!

I think that social communities can be either good or bad.
RispondiEliminaSome pros could be you can chat with friends all around the world with no problems, or you can express your self and a lot of shy person win them fears because a screen potects you in a way.
This can be good and bad, because in this way you have a social life on the net so your real life disappears.
Another disavantage is that social communities haven't any "filters" and everybody can log-in.
I usually use social communities like facebook and msn, but I don't really like them.
