You Have No Way to Hide Your Secrets

As the Internet develops, information are transferred and gathered in  a unbelievable quick  and easy way.  Obviously, the Internet makes our life easier than decades ago. It provides a new way for people to do business.  It makes you easy to keep in touch with your friends. You are able to know your friends who are thousands of kilometers away from you through the Facebook or Twitter . However, the internet is a double-edged sword. One of the downsides of Internet is the difficulty to keep your private information safe. In my opinion, the social networking service is a tool for purposeful privacy exposure. It is difficult to choose which group of people could have the access to your blog. Your privacy is open for any possible audiences, even for someone you don't want. Many employers look for their potential employees' Facebook before they make the final decision.
