As security on the Internet decreases and the threat of having one’s identity stolen increases, it makes one more cautious on whom you talk to in a nonface-to-face atmosphere. I, for one, will not add a friend to my Facebook or LinkedIn unless I have met the person in real life. Even so, I have to have that trust for them. If the trust is not there then your request will be denied. With this said I have met people before and the majority of the relationship is through the Internet. It is hard to keep in touch with everyone you know and this other medium allows us to stay connected to the people we may have had little or no contact with otherwise. As I work 3 jobs and school it makes it difficult to even stay in contact with my best friends. We always end up texting whenever it is convenient or leave messages for each other via email or Facebook and give each other the ability to respond at their convenience. With this we remain connected.

I agree with your post Kolby. I think that it is always a bad idea to start adding people to your friends list that you do not know. I think that the information that people post on these sites are enough for someone to get information that you do not necessarily want people you do not know to know.I also appreciate this new world we connect in though social networking sites. I just use them for only the people I know in real life. I would also like to have more face to face interactions then just those online.
