1. Research Question: Do people share more information than they should on social media? 2.Title: __The Demographics of Social Media Users__ 3. Author: Maeve Duggan and Joanna Brenner 4. http://www.lateledipenelope.it/public/513cbff2daf54.pdf 5. I accessed this pdf file on Saturday night 6.SOAPStone 7. This source is a little different from my other sources, because it was all statistics and straight facts. This source broke down the amount of users on social media in 2012, and the different types of social media. It gave the amount of users for Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, etc. It also classifies its users by gender, ethnicity, education, household income, and Urbanity to give you a sense of what types of people use certain social media websites 8. There are many people who use social media, all different ages, ethnicity's; no matter where you live or how much you make, it is being used everywhere. 9. There isn't much persuasion in this since its mostly just statistics, but i feel that it will help prove my point that too many people share private information on social media. 10.

1. Research Question: Do people share more information than they should on social media? 2. Title: __Too Much Information__ 3. Local organizations in Virginia 4. http://www.whoswatchingcharlottesville.org/social.html 5. I accessed this website Friday night 6. SOAPStone 7. This source explains how the use of social media can actually be a danger to you and your future. It lists possible reasons to not use social media, or to be extremely careful when using it. It states how not only can you attract stalkers and spammers, but administrators and future employers can not hire you due to what you've posted on social media. They emphasize in this source that once anythings posted on social media, you can not take it back. 8. What you put on social media never goes away; it will be with you for the rest of your life. It could not only cause danger, but it could ruin possible employments, and the rest of your future. 9.This source really persuaded me toward siding with how negatively social media affects ones life. It gave facts that were unarguable, and was hard to debate against. They talk about not only how it could affect you right now, but also in the future 10. > Predators may target children, teens, and other unsuspecting persons online—sometimes posing to be someone else—and then slowly“groom” them, forming relationships with them and then eventually convincing them to meet in person. > Finally, it’s important to recognize that once you publish something online, it is available to other people and to search engines. //You can’t retract it.// > Even if you go back and remove the information from a site, it’s always possible that someone has already seen it. And they may have saved a copy. >

 * Another potential downside of social networking sites is that they allow others to know a person’s contact information, interests, habits, and whereabouts. Consequences of sharing this information can range from the relatively harmless but annoying—such as an increase in spam—to the potentially deadly—such as stalking.
