Teens need to use sexting in a very cautious manner and only if they are under NO pressure to share their personal videos and pictures with others. Every adult has the right to make the choice whether or not they want to sext, and they should be allowed to exercise that right in every situation with caution and the right amount to surety regarding the recipient. This media can be misused very easily thanks to the easily accessible porn, picture editing applications, tech-savvy individuals and spoilt intentions. When a relationship sours or suffers misunderstanding, feelings of revenge start bubbling into actions that include unlawful sharing of your private content with multiple users to defame one partner, making videos and pictures viral on the internet or blackmailing. Even such instances can occur wherein such media gets shared with the wrong recipient by mistake to cause embarrassment to one or both…

    Spiegel contributed to the creation of Snapchat by helping come up with the idea of this popular app and most likely became very involved with the creation of filters that make up the app. Snapchat was released in September 2011 but Spiegel and his business partner, Bobby Murphy, have been working on this for Spiegel’s college years which lies between 2009 through 2013. So, Spiegel had created his contribution to the business world while still at Stanford, which is located 35 miles South San Francisco, but he continues to work on the Snapchat from his home in Las Angeles, California. We can infer that Spiegel must have seen potential in the idea that was once just a school project because he used his passion for Photoshop to make this thought a…

Besides, the social media technology is not for the public users to interact other user only but the social media technology provides internal social media to the organizations such as Salesforce.com (Andzulis et al., 2012). Social media is a new trend in this era. It is because social media is an easy way to get information, knowledge, news and others that useful to the users than conventional media such as newspaper, magazines and so on.
