Pros and Cons of Facebook

 There are many benefits to the largest social networking site known as Facebook, but with all of these positive things such as connecting with old friends, sharing common interests with not so acquainted personnel,as well as bettering sharing what goes on in your day to day life with far away family. There has to be some negative things that go hand in had, right? While some are too caught up in the bliss and flow of Facebook, others seem to find something a little bit wrong with everything. Felling there privacy being taken away inch by inch drives some people to the edge of deactivating their account all together. While some opinions are simply a solo opinion, others can turn into a worldwide complaint among Facebook users. Some people simply have a problem with the new app set up, or the way the news feed works. Other opinions stretch to create new heights among complaints. The biggest issue people have with Facebook is the privacy settings, yet this is an issue that could take some time to fix. Avid Facebook users have some what a sassy remark to those who seem to complain about every new Facebook upgrade. Simple, don't post on Facebook what you wouldn't feel comfortable sharing with anyone. This network was created to connect people, not to transform into a personal diary. In my opinion people shouldn't take advantage on an already great thing, if you really have that big of a problem with it... Delete your account, no one is stopping you.

Personality Reflection/ Current Events

PERSONALITY TEST
My letters are ISFP, Introvert (33%) Sensing (31%) Feeling (25%) Perceiving (44%).
I have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion, I also have moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition. Along with moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking, lastly a moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging. I think this description is for the most part pretty accurate, all though I don't think any computer generated test can really be that dead on with the lack of communication and such generalized questions. Every person is different therefor each person is going to interpret each question in a different way. Some might just see them as simple personality questions, while others might read more into it and really think about what the question is asking them. All in all I think the test is a great way to get a free personality reading that for the most part does a very good job on reading into such common questions.

CURRENT EVENTS
AT&T has recently released a home moderating system that lets people manage their home security and energy systems from anywhere using nothing but a smartphone, computer, or tablet. Right now the new and improved system will be available in 15 markets. The new service has been released for about a year and is really taking off in selected ares that are offered the package. Many different things come with the leasuir of being able to control your home and family's safety from behind your tablet.
