"Let me start by saying that some Social Networking Sites have come into fashion now around the world.  For example, there are sites like "mixi" and "facebook".  Actually, I use some SNS and like making use of them, and I write a diary everyday and read my friends' diaries.  Whenever I sit in front of my computer, I open the site and check something.  The reason I use it is that I can receive responses from my friends about my diary, and it is different from mail in that I don't have to reply to that comment immediately, but I can connect with my friends whenever I like.
    But there are some problems concerning SNS.  One problem is about privacy, and another is about real encounters away from the SNS.  The former problem is often focussed on in relationship to the internet.  Once a person writes about other people's private matters in their diary, many people can read it and know that person who was written about.  Even if the writer has no nasty thoughts, the person who was written about may have a bad feeling concerning that article or have a trouble because of it.  When we write some information on the internet, whatever we are going to write, we should deal with other’s information carefully.  The latter problem is that some people use SNS for real new encounters with strangers.  It has a good point that we can meet a lot of people newly, but it also has dangers.  There are some incidents happened connected with SNS.  Some bad persons use them for their personal selfish purposes, for example sexual or violent ones.
    It is difficult to say that SNS is bad for people, but we should take care when we use this kind of site.  We need to have a responsibility as a sender."
