maturity

Ever since I was a pre-teen (it’s really been that long), I was immersed in social media to some extent. From chat rooms to forums to instant messaging and now to web 2.0 sites and social networks, I’ve been through it all — from alpha, to beta, to final — and then some. I’m at the point where I am bewildered by the amount of people joining and wondering if I should let everyone have access to every part of my life — since right now, most (all?) of it is online. This issue has become a lot more prevalent as I see people take advantage of social networks because they are so easy to sign up to and manipulate for personal gain.
