Since its launch in 2004, Facebook has gained over 400 million members. Indiana University junior, Bridget O’Brien represents one of the 400 million.

“I use technology to keep in touch with my family and friends,” O’Brien said. Along with Facebook, O’Brien also uses her cell phone, laptop, iPod, and a desktop PC on a daily basis.

As an active user of a variety of technology, O’Brien said the constant technological advances in our society are for the best, and that they make our lives easier. “It connects people on a different level and allows global communication, and helps business and communication,” she said.

Despite the beneficial nature of technology, O’Brien admits it can become a distraction, and she is trying to cut back on her technology usage in some respects.

“ I’m trying to go on Facebook less to do more things like studying and reading.”

Linda Long picked up the phone to an unexpected caller. Instead of a friend for family member it was her credit card company. The company’s employee asked her if she had been to Canada recently. She said she had not, so it made no sense that there were charges to her credit card which had been made in Canada.

“That’s one of the scary things, no one had gotten my card but they had obtained it from the electronic system,” said Long. While the ability to do everything from shopping to bill paying online is convenient, it presents dangers like identity theft.

The Internet has made purchasing items online quick and easy, but it is important to remember to take certain precautions in order to protect oneself. “There’s a lot of convenience, things are quicker its easier to keep track of things on the web, but your information is out there everywhere,” said Long.

Unfortunately, credit card information is not the only personal information being posted on the web. Facebook and other social networking sites are places intended to hold personal information such as names, hometowns, and phone numbers. Additionally things like “status-updates” allow people to post what they are currently doing or where they will be.

Long said she often worries about her 13-year-old nephew who is an active member of Facebook. “If he said something like our family is going to be gone on a trip somebody could come to their house. Or, a child predator could be wanting to meet him and not really a friend. That goes through my mind and I worry about him.”
