T2 - Social Impacts

Increasing Reliance On Social Networking For Human Interacting

Social networking has become very reliable on people interacting and staying connected with each other. It has helped billions of people around the world to meet others who share similar interests.

However, lots of people are now saving their personal information to social networks which makes it easier for attackers to find information and gain access to private information.

This can allow someone to turn the heating on before they get home, so they do not have to turn up to a cold home and wait for it to warm up.
