Наличие богатства не имеет значения когда у тебя есть счастье. Когда же нет надежды, количество денег на счету тоже не играет роли.

The Future Monster

I don't like what kind of monster Facebook (FB) becomes. After watching the new "60 Minutes" addition on cbsnews.com in which Mark Zuckerberg allows viewers to see the new major features that will be on their facebook accounts very soon, I hesitated a little. Most of the 500 million active FB users willingly upload their private information on their accounts, and they would put even more if the social network would've allowed them to do it. Recent selling of the private info that some employment companies bought are just the small warning signals before a complete leak will occur. Well, think about this, even if Zuckerberg is living up to his promises, he may very well sell his business or make corrections to the website policy at some point. Then, he is in no obligation to protect FB users' precious private info. Even if you would've deleted it, the info is saved on the servers at Silicon Valley. It's very easy to do.

Another major concern is the freedom of Internet. In a long article published on Nov. 22, 2010 in Scientific American, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, wrote very clearly that social networks are a 'threat to the web.' Here're some major ideas he wrote:

"Your social-networking site becomes a central platform - a closed silo of content, and one that does not give you full control over your information in it."

"The more this kind of architecture gains widespread use, the more the web becomes fragmented - and the less we enjoy a single, universal information space."

These and some other reasons allow me to believe that social networks at their present state foster to make the Web more potentially harmful to its users and less free as a whole.
