You can make your information and data safe by 
using privacy settings.
You can find your privacy settings on your settings on most internet sides for example Facebook Twitter etc.

If you change your settings to only 'friends' then only the friends you have can only see what you post for example your pictures and status updates.

But if you change your settings to 'everyone' then anyone can see your what your doing.


 Also you will need to make a secure password. Don't make one obvious for example your name 'alexure123' because anyone could guess that.

Make sure you log out when you have finished on your social network site and clear all your history so people cant hack they way into your account.

Advantages and disadvantages of IT

Firstly using IT does have loads of good advantages but on the other hand it has loads of disadvantages.

I’m going to start off by saying some of the advantages which included-

Use less paper and write on word for example for homework.

A lot easier and quicker

Use the internet for research

Communicate with people around the world e.g- Facebook/Skype

Use a wide range of websites which include-

Facebook YouTube Blogger Gmail Twitter..

Also it is environmentally friendly

But the IT does have a lot of disadvantages as  well. For example if you buy something online like ebay someone could easily hack your bank account because you will have to enter your card details because that is the only way you can pay money online.

Also people have been ‘cyber bullied’ in the past which is wrong.

Cyber bulling is when you bully someone online for example Facebook chat. You say all these things to them behind a computer screen sometimes you could not be caught but if you have your name and who you are on your profile the police could get involved which is getting serious.

One last disadvantage is getting scammed. You could get a pop up which is saying you have won a prize you click on it which then could give your computer a virus and your computer will then no longer work.
The social disadvantages when using IT is people can get distracted really easily, for example when your doing your homework/ at work and Facebook is on your computer you more tempted to go on it. Also there is a lack of human contact for example you text but dont see face to face. 


M2- Risks 

There are many threats and risks when using an it based communication system.
These risks and threats include:

• Cyber-bulling
• Spam
• Uploading digital contact 
• Privacy of information  

Cyber- bulling-

This is a threat because people get bullied online and the risk is that the people who are the victim could use this evidence and hand it over to the police which will create bigger and worse issues.

Spam-

You could a email saying that you have won something like a car for only £10 so that means you have to enter you card details. This is a threat because it is fake and they will hack into your bank and take all your money.

Uploading digital contact-
This is a risk for using it communication because if you upload a photo of you or something that you own someone can easily save this photo and it will go further  This is why Facebook has privacy settings so you can only share your digital contact with who you want to.

Privacy of information-
This is also a threat to it communication because if you put where you live or your mobile number o popular social sites including Facebook/Twitter people can easily find out who you are and find out where you are.
