Identity theft affects “million people each year” by stealing their money, name and personal information this is due to many people not being aware of their “protection” when doing any type of transaction online.  All they need is basic information “full name, date of birth, home town, relationship, school locations, pet name, interests and hobbies” this is something that will continue to grow if people aren’t knowledgeable of how easy it is.  This is something that gives people a deferent look at how easy this is done due to the facts of how often this happens and it continues to grow.  It is as easy as filling an application for a credit card or job and the page is unsecure, now all your information you put down is stolen for somebody to use.


World star hip hop is a cite that people upload any kind of footage ”fights violence “but know police are using this cite to track down people who are committing these vicious acts.  This cite has allowed the cops to watch the videos as the crimes are “in play” and be able to “narrow out the suspect” this has helped the cops put a lot of people in jail for doing these crimes and then posting them online for other peoples entertainment.  I think this cite is something you should be aware off because how graphical and violent it can get.  It also informs people to pay attention to their surroundings and let them know that these violent attacks can happen “anywhere anyplace anytime”


YouTube is the trend that everybody is using to get recognized from almost anything, this helps people build a larger fan base and this is something that is positive that people should be aware of.  It gives you the opportunity to “broadcast yourself “so whoever is viewing can share there “comment” on your page, whether they “like it or dislike”.  This something that a lot of people should be aware of and most people don’t even know that they can also make money by using “original materials” which can also help you start a business or even your own “show” this is what is impacting the new generation to be different and think of new ideas every day. http://www.teenink.com/college_guide/college_essays/article/174139/The-Impact-of-YouTube-on-Popular-Culture/

Online dating is becoming more popular as we may know it, the positives is that you can “search and find people who match the criteria you are looking for” plus you can do this anytime of the day.  You won’t have to worry about being nervous when talking online or “timid” due to the lack of conversation; this allows you to get the chance “to say what you really want to say without any regrets.  When dating online you don’t have to worry if somebody will talk to you because there are “billions of people meeting someone that fits your qualifications.  When entering an online dating cites you have to be aware of sex offenders, this allows them to “operate without being identified with fake profile when meeting and is a “perfect target for them.  I think this is something everybody should be on the “look out for” due to the option of browsing to see who fits you.


Buying cars online is the easiest scam going on that many people are not aware of because everybody is “looking the cheapest price” but we all know it is sometimes too good to be true.  When buying a car online they say this is the “oldest trick in scam artist’s playbook” this scam has net more than”3 million” buying selling people cars on a fake automobile cites that do not exist.  This is something many people should be aware about before they buy a car that they have not seen in person or even test driven to see if it works properly and this happens when “buyers want good deals” without even knowing if its real or not.  By informing people about automobile scams it makes everybody think twice before they decide to buy any car online without the proper information.


There are fraudulent items purchased everyday online and most people won’t even know it until the item has arrived.  This happens when people search around for the cheapest price and a scammer is usually the one selling it, but there whole idea is to “steal your payment card or personal information” some may just take your money.  Most cites tend to “lure” you in with the low price or auction, thinking you are actually getting the item you are bidding on when it’s just a pic of something else “copied on their cite” know you are stuck with something that is not what was described when you purchased it.  By informing society about this ongoing event, to keeps people aware of the items that they are getting ready to purchase by doing a deeper search on the “cite and item they are selling by looking at the reviews”.


PayPal is the best secure way to pay for items online without having your information stolen and is well trusted among most cites for people who do not want to share their information.  It also allows “anyone to transfer or send money to anyone with an e-mail address, whether or not they have a PayPal account” This is a free account you can open up for secure business transaction or money sending transactions, PayPal has “over !00 million active accounts in 190 markets worldwide”.  Everybody should know about this because this can help identity theft stop by giving the scammers less information to use to steal your information.  PayPal is something worth looking into to have if you don’t feel comfortable giving your card information online for every purchase you make.


Another thing that is affecting people is the gps on your smartphone, which can allow people to track your everyday “movement” and also lead to somebody “stalking you” but most people don’t even know that this feature is on when “taking and uploading pictures or even tweeting”.  Most people should know about their smartphone features and should be aware at all time when logging on “Malicious web sites or even track your location on a map” this helps give crooks you locations.  This is one the easiest ways to get your house robbed and not even be able to know how they knew you were not home.  With everybody purchasing all this new technology they should at least know how to work the phone or read the instruction to keep the fully protected from stalkers and criminal.


Advertising is the biggest thing that most companies use to get the attention of oncoming buyers and you should always be aware because it can “run all day on TV, radio to get your attention” this is how they drill it in your head.  It is used for entertainment and most “free media channel have a cost” that’s why they are creating all types to match or see what the “consumer’s need where there has been none before, or turning luxuries into necessities.  It has made people think that they really need the specific item to make them feel good and this why most people should be aware of how easy it is to be lured in.
The effects of spam is that you can get all type of useless information that you don't need or never requested and it gets very annoying .  With spam it can bring a "serious security threat" it can also heart the reputation of your business.  When dealing with spam it is considered "junk mail" but it stacks up everyday with e-mails that have no use just scams or malware that can heart your computer .  This is one of the easiest ways to get your information stole by opening these kinds of e-mail for any offers that are not  "real".  Spam  e-mails continue to grow an many people are not aware of the risk you can take by opening these files in your inbox, that is "why it is important to make sure you have the necessary solutions in place to protect and prevent spam".  Most people  need to know threat this is very important when using new media and everybody should be on the "look out" for hazardous spam files in there inbox.

Examples


When using new media people tend to fill out all kinds of job application not knowing it could be a unsecure cite that can take your information without you knowing or if you open up spam files it can take the information that you have used on your computer and also get your personal information. When dealing with cites like "World Star Hip Hop and YouTube" you have to be aware of somebody getting "footage of you and loading it online whether it's good or bad, so with this kind of new media you have to be aware of your surroundings.  Online dating can help people build there "self esteem" by helping them interact with other people online if they have problems doing it "face too face" which is something people can benefit from. Buying cars and purchasing items online is the easiest way to get scammed, most people go the quickest way to find anything which is online due to "easy access" the price is usually "way too low to believe" but people will always take a risk if they think they can save a few dollars and this is why this will continue to happen if you do not do your research before purchase.  This is why people who do research look for "car fax and reviews to see how other people view this page" which will usually help you make your decision.  Pay Pal helps people feel secure when purchasing anything, If you are on a cite that you don't trust and don't want to have the risk of getting your information stolen.  This helps make all your transactions are secure and can also you the fastest refund instead of waiting on the seller to send your money back.  Smartphones with the "gps" feature should always be constantly check so nobody can track your every move, like if you go on vacation and take pictures and upload them with your "gps on" whoever can go break in your house. The brief information of "they know were you are at makes it a easy job for them without getting caught " and this is something everybody should be aware of. When advertising you can be "fooled" due to the small print that nobody can read or they keep showing the same advertisement  and it gets stuck in your head.  For instants they advertise things that people  "think they have too have it" whether its a Benz commercial, new iPhone, they drill it in people heads that they must have this or "they will be behind" and people will tend to spend their last just to have it.  So you should always be prepared to pay very close attention on new media and the technology they are showing that have people "going crazy" all these things is something that is very important when using new media and what people should be aware of......
