Social Networking: The Preface 3.0

14 Oct 2011

·GlennMcCrary

Written By Glenn McCrary & Jacqueline Webb Surprisingly, with the sweet comes the sour And there were consequences---- Being plugged in did not make you immune to folly; Trusting strangers (nicknamed “friends”) is hardly wise. Users soon became the used: Social media was the internet’s Hindenburg, Where hidden jackals preyed on the unsuspecting, Using their online personas to trick the lonely To gain trust as well as affection----- If only to covet thy neighbors goods. Such cruelty ran rampant---- Almost unstoppable---- Leaving behind countless victims. Cyber bullying, Sexual harassment, Death threats, Counterfeit personalities, Stalkers, Sex offenders, These sins and sinners painted Facebook red; Left Myspace riddled with bullet holes---- Ruining the entire social networking experience forever. © 2011 (All rights reserved)
