Social networking
An example of social networking would be www.facebook.com. Facebook is a website that is targeted for all ages but is mainly made for teenagers to stay in touch, share news and arrange meetings together. But as the years have passed, Facebook started to get more and more popular and people of all ages started using Facebook not only to stay in touch with people, but for businesses to advertise, spread politic news which is an alternate way of television news and also to arrange groups to raise awareness or for charity.
The benefit of using Facebook is you can stay in touch with whoever you like passing messages back and forth non-stop free of charge, as long as you have your internet up and running. Any new events happened with your friends you’ll be informed or read it on their page.
The drawback isn't much, but they are severe! Facebook has lack of security and anyone with just a little bit of computer skills in hacking can track your exact location and your account may be controlled by the hacker.
Facebook really need to upgrade their security system, otherwise it’s quite successful and there are regular updates for Facebook.
Communication
Skype is one of the best programs to communicate with, whether it’s verbal only or with a video feed, it tops all type of communications, but for those shy people, it may not be to their liking, they may want to communicate by text before trying verbally.
Skype can easily be downloaded from the internet and create an account with just a few simple steps. The best thing about it is that as long as the internet is running, you can have an infinite call for a lifetime. Both sound and video quality are great, but some people complained about video and sound feed are not in sync when many people join a call and this will affect mostly to the host of the call, this is most likely due to a slow internet connection. This program mostly targets businessmen for them to use whenever they need to arrange a meeting, they don’t have to travel distances, wherever they are, they can just switch on their laptops/desktops with a microphone and if desired, a webcam for a face-to-face conference.
I do not see any enhancements there is to add on since there is both sound and video feed and it’s absolutely free of charge.
A non-internet alternative is to get out, meet the person yourself and get a life =P
Online shopping/auction
ebay.com is a shopping website that has the biggest variety of all shops. It has latterly almost everything you can imagine, tools, games, programs, furniture all the way to cars and aeroplanes, A to Z, you name it and so are its audience target.
The purpose of this website to get a much larger variety available in any country in the world, whatever is not available locally, it’ll always be available on ebay.com for you to buy and usually at a much cheaper price!
Benefits are usually good prices and larger variety available. There are also auctions on ebay, whoever bids the most will claim the product and if you’re lucky, the auction could be even much cheaper than what the product actually costs. Unfortunately it has risk due to certain hackers with bad intentions since the website requires you to add your credit card number, address and credit card type, hackers can then track you and hack into your credit card account once they get a hold of its security and key number which then they can steal your money, or there may be frauds selling products specifying things which are not actually true and may order you products other than what you requested for.
There aren’t really any enhancements to be made because the website is successful and the problems that lies with eBay is not the website producer’s fault, it’s the people who’re lurking around with bad intensions and this is a very hard to stop especially skilled hackers which some are almost impossible to catch.
A non-internet alternative is to go to the stores yourself and buy it there, or travel abroad if what you’re looking for is not available in your country.
Download services
Thepiratebay.se is the top pirated download website. It’s a website that some people buy programs, software, music games and many more and import them onto the website for everyone in the entire planet to download whatever they desire that’s available on the website and people can make thousands of copies and are all for free. Many programs or games which have securities are creaked and some are operated by using other softwares to creak its security to be able to use it.
Like eBay, piratebay is also in a sense, a shopping website that sells from A to Z that’s got to do with electronic programs, videos or pictures. Therefore this also offers a great variety of programs but, it’s all for free. But since it is pirated, you could never really know whether the file you’re downloading contains viruses or not and programs such as firewalls won’t be able to identify it because whatever is pirated, it will show a warning sign that it’s contaminated even if it’s free of viruses, because it’s like an un-identified file trying to access your computer.
I can’t say any enhancements because their goal is to offer the world all the things they want in their electronics which they have made it into a reality. The only thing that needs enhancements are your anti-viruses programs to be able to identify specifically which is not something on piratebay’s side, it’s on the manufacturers of anti-viruses keeping them updated to be able to exterminate any new viruses that are introduced to this world.
