Facebook is a social networking site aimed at people of all ages but teenagers show a particular interest in it. On facebook it has many advantages such as been able to keep in contact with anyone who you might not see regularly and it’s a good way to talk to your friends and family. You can add videos and photos onto Facebook which is fantastic to entertain your friends and family. A disadvantage of facebook is that strangers can add you and if you don’t set your privacy settings they can contact you any time so this may be dangerous. Arguments between people can easily start on facebook if there is nasty comments or messages been posted onto the website.

Twitter is also a social networking site similar to Facebook but it has a few differences. You can follow people and make blogs. You can follow celebrities on twitter and find out what people are up to which makes it more unsafe than facebook because on facebook you can only talk to your friends, on twitter you can talk to anyone, it may not even be who you think it is who you are talking to. Although twitter is easy to use, the server can overload easily and anyone can follow you which means strangers can. Chloe Hutton

On an iPod nano, it has a screen; you can record videos and watch music videos as well as listen to music. You can add pictures to this iPod as well; this is very similar to an iPod classic except the nano is smaller. IPod touch is similar to a mobile phone except you can’t ring or text people; you can do pretty much everything else though like take photos, go on facebook, msn, YouTube and other websites so there are some disadvantages of an iPod touch. People can talk to you on the internet and arguments and bullying between people can start. Another disadvantage is that depending on what memory you have on your iPod, they can cost a lot of money, it would be a shame if you had spent all that money on a iPod if something went wrong on it or if you lost it.
