for time immemorial -- huddled together in groups -- our habit

of sharing information. So sit back and forget about the Internet for a while : it all started when barely-human apes learnt to hunt in packs. Next was the discovery of fire, and our ancestors gathered in front of fires for a millennium after that. Then came cities and ships, and we traversed the globe, still huddled together for warmth and that general feeling of goodness. We've hugged each other excitedly at sports events, consoled each other in times of misery, and continually found new ways to form cuddly, warm groups of like-minded individuals. There's always been a group even the squarest of us can fit intosort of like in a college/Court canteen and used to share jocks/etc.

A PC was, and is, a very personal gadget.

When it first became popular sometime in the '90s, it

was something you could use for hours or daysbut always alone. Gaming was addictive, Windows was fun to use. And MS Office let you get work done so much faster than when you still used books. We got addicted.

A far cry from the lonely machine, the PC was now able

to put you in touch with people from any where at all. It started with e-mail: if you knew a person's e-mail address, you could send him or her a letter in an instant regardless of geography. Then IRC had the concept of channels (basically chat rooms), it wasn't long before people started creating channels based on interests. This is perhaps where the world got their first glimpse of social networking. There were hundreds of like-minded individuals talking and sharing information based on interestsin realtime.

This has

made communication between the strangers easier than ever. Chatting is one of the more popular activities on the Internet- people can talk to anyone across the world. Introduction of social online networking sites has facilitated communication. These are web-sites where users can create a profile and connect that profile to others to form an explicit personal network.

In its simplest form, the

term social network refers to a network of people who choose to form links between each other, perhaps based on common factors such as values, friendship, ideas, interests or trade.
For some people, social

networking implies trivia, gossip and non-work related activities.

These are a good way to increase your contacts. To maintain friendship, and just for time pass. It aids in mending the existing relationship which we never think could happen. Useful in finding friends and exploring new business venues Nice tool to maintain our friends but the strange aspect is that anyone can see your profile Its good to stay connected with our old friends wherever they are... Time pass, connecting friends when they are far away. Good for sharing our views with our friends An easy way to keep in touch with your friends who are no longer in the city or country for that manner. Its up to the user to make it positive Good if used efficiently Good as long as it doesnt affect others privacy Total waste of time. Its good as long as everything is under control.......!!!!!

Teens who use Facebook more often show more narcissistic

tendencies. Young adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviours, mania and aggressive tendencies. Daily overuse of media and technology has a negative effect on the health of all children, preteens and teenagers by making them more prone to anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders Facebook can be distracting and can negatively impact learning. Studies found that middle school, high school and college students who checked Facebook at least once during a 15minute in study period achieved lower grades.

When you accept friend request from strangers, you put

yourself at severe risk. The men at other side start exchanging words very cordially and within some days you have a faith on them. Then they start the mind game and start gathering more personal information. If they get to know your email address, they could go to email account and click on forget password. And the system will ask a security question like your favourite teacher, your first phone number etc. Unknowingly, you have already shared this information with them. So now they have access to your email account. This task will be much easier if you set your date of birth, school or college name as email password. Created by Harish K. Chandak, Faculty at

Social networking users face severe health risk because they

reduce face-to-face contact and become addicted in a virtual world of relationships. In India people check their Facebook profile before getting out of bed in the morning and 35% check their accounts several times in a day. SNS have played a significant role in making people become more isolated. Lack of face-to-face contact could alter the way genes work, upset immune responses, hormonal levels, function of arteries and influence mental performance. This could increase the risk of health problems like cancer, strokes, heart disease and dementia.

You start losing sleep over SNS and that hampers your daily activity. Spend more than an hour on SNS. You become obsessed with your old loves and start visiting their profile. And gradually it starts to affect your current relationship status. You tend to ignore work and use SNS in office/Collage hours. When you think of going a day without SNS, it causes stress and anxiety to you.

The beginning of social networking sites started to make

contacts with people and build a network of healthy relationship in the society. But now it seems offering cybercriminals a great advantage to target victims. Rajesh and his family (Pune) were out of home for treatment of his son in Hydrabad. Instead of making phone calls to everyone, he was updating on Facebook message about sons health. Someone read his Facebook message and burgled their home during this time. Paedophiles are using social networking sites because that is where they can lure the victim willingly.

Right to Privacy is an implied right under Fundamental

Rights. The Constitution of India does not expressly recognize the right to privacy but at the same time this right has been spelt out by our Supreme Court from the provision of Article 21 which deals with the right to life and liberty.

Privacy is closely related to Data Protection. An individuals details like name, address, interests, family, etc.

are often available on various web sites. Passing on such information to interested parties can lead to invasion of privacy. In India, data protection is governed by The Information Technology Act. The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008 contains provisions which recognize privacy protection and few which encroach upon the privacy rights. The sections that recognize the privacy issues are Section 43A and Section 72A. However, Section 69 and Section 69B encroach upon the right to privacy

Created by Harish K. Chandak, Faculty at Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya, Wardha

27

These sections are condensed as follows. Section 43A

provides scope for introducing the definition of Sensitive Personal Data or Information (subject to notification), and also imposes a responsibility for Reasonable Security Practice to be followed by the data handlers.
This section provides remedy to the person, and there is no

upper limit for the compensation to be claimed.

Another provision,

Section 72A says that a person including an intermediary could be held liable if he discloses personal information which he accessed while providing services under a contract.

Cyber criminals may target a specific person or just any

random individual. For example, on Facebook, by turning on the public search option, one makes his/her Facebook profile accessible to anyone who types the name in any of the search engines, which may be intentional or accidental.
The said person is liable for imprisonment for 3 years and

fine upto 5 lakhs Rs.

Whether to use social networking site or not is an

individual decision to many. But you must be aware of certain things when discussing your private life in public.
These are some of the tips that can make you and your

family safe on the networking sites.

Created by Harish K. Chandak, Faculty at Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya, Wardha

1.

Change the profile privacy now. Keep your information accessible only to people in your friend list.
Dont accept friendship request from strangers. Many often we judge a particular person online, by his/her profile picture and personal information. This is the first mistake that cyber criminals wanted us to do.

2.

3.

Dont post very personal information on the profile. It includes your email id, date of birth, contact number, home address and information about your family members.
Be cautious while posting your photo. Ensure your photo background doesntHarish K. Chandak, Faculty at actual whereabouts. Created by show about your

36

Dont post your current location when on a tour. Posting this information on social networking site is just like inviting criminals. 6. Dont post negative things about your life. This is just like maligning your own image. Your friends are monitoring your activity and one such mistake can cause havoc in future. 7. Make distance from your exs profile. This might seem you little cruel, but once you decide to quit a relationship there is no meaning again visiting your ex-partners profile. If you want to have a good life in future, then unfriend your ex from friend list. 8. Dont substitute real friends with virtual friends. Facebook is a great tool to connect new people across world. But they can never be your real friends. You need real friends to enhance your social image and reduce stress and anxiety. 9. Avoid using Social networking sites in work hours. When you try to use social networking sites during work hour, it not only affects your work performance but also increases chances of getting fired.

Lately I have been reflecting on the fact that we all as a society sometimes depend upon technology a little too much. Technology has made our lives so much easier and more simple, but I fear that it has also paralyzed the way our generation thinks and behaves.
