In this post I’m going to talk about personal information on the internet, and there’s no doubt this topic is something to think about.

Everyday people around the world are sharing photos, videos, posting opinions, commenting other people’s posts. Sometimes it’s about news happening somewhere in the planet, sometimes it’s about our personal life. And here’s the problem, ¿How personal is the information we share on the internet? ¿Are we aware about who is seeing our posts?

Posting information on the internet seems really normal, and I don’t have a problem with that. What really calls my atention are two things:

First, the fact that some people reach a point where they show things that are not even real. For instance, A person who shares a photo showing books and documents to study, writting in the post ‘’Time to study’’. After that, the person starts to do anything else but study. ¿Is that normal? ¿Why people use to show themselves on the internet as people they are not?
I like to share on social media photos or videos doing things that I’m actually doing, and that I really like and enjoy, like being in beautiful places or playing music with friends.

Second, I would like to say that social media can be really interesting and a way to feel closer to people, but also can turn dark and dangerous, because we are supposed to know who is on the other side and we are not always 100% sure about that.
This makes me feel kind of worried, specially when it’s about inocent human beings like kids. Sometimes parents don’t know the sites and things their child can get access to, so be careful.

Of course not everything on social media is bad. I love Youtube, I think that’s my favourite social media. You can see videos about whatever you want, for example, sports, music, videogames, documentaries. What I like to do the most on youtube is searching song’s covers from random people around the globe, you can find really talented people.
