Before the beginning of the third millennium, people started to find some ways that allowed to keep in touch with another people in anywhere. At that moment, the ways of communication more used were the regular mail and the regular phone which had two big problems: their cost were very high and very slow; in two words: money and time.

For this reason, people began to find new ways of communication which were less expensive and faster than regular mail and regular phone. One of these were cell phone, instant messaging, text messaging, e-mail and social network.

Social networks are very useful. People can keep in touch with their friends because these allow to open a conversation where someone could talk with a friend in a video call. Also, if someone doesn't have job, he can connect to an employment network and find some job options.

Additionally, they are cheaper and faster than the traditional ways of communication. People only need a computer or a smart phone to connect to a social network and share in real time their information (photos, videos, events, news).

However, if a person shares his information with everybody, the criminals could take that one and use them in their activities. That person could be in a big problem. Also, a rapist could send messages, trick and rape him. It's very dangerous to share the personal information with anyone.

To conclude, social networks could be dangerous if anyone can look your Timeline, but, these are important and useful ways of communication which allow to keep in touch in real time and share personal information. In my opinion, it's a good idea to use the social networks.
