The Idea of Personal Identity and Privacy on Social Media
The 21st century provides social platforms such as Facebook, and online chats that encourage teenagers to share personal information. Most teens appreciate the platforms and provide all information about their status and personal lives such as real names, birth dates, interests, relationship status, their videos, city, and the town of residence, school names, photos, cellphone numbers, and email addresses. The media sites assist them to share information. However, few teens with high knowledge on the use of technology restrict their profiles, trim messages that people view about them and manage their reputation on social media. The use of Twitter and Facebook among teens has increased because they wish to interact with new friends (Madden et al. 1). However, at least 0% teens using Facebook hide their details through managing the available settings. Other teenagers manage their networks and mask information they want to hide to shape their reputation. Other teenagers delete people from their friend’s list and networks.
Contrast your experience with Facebook with the experiences presented in texts
Facebook experience brings a sense of well-being and excitement to users because they interact with unknown people from all parts of the world. Teenagers and young adults prefer online communication through Facebook to match with their peers and boost their self-esteem. While Facebook communicates to all people and has options for making new friendships, texts communicate to well-known persons (Madden et al.

2).
The teenagers in 21st century prefer using Facebook to texts because they embrace technology and do not care much about whom they chat. Texts group among the Android style of communication for the old and those not accepting technology. The introduction of smartphones encourages people to chat and communicate online with other people. Feedback displays through the like or favorite post. Facebook is the most embraced technology in the world involving all groups of people communicating from all parts of the world because it is easy to use (Madden et al. 3).
