II. APPLICATION
2. What network site/s do you usually visit? (e.g., FB, Yahoo, Google, YouTube, and
the like) Why?
- I prefer visiting fb and google than watching Youtube, because it entertains me a lot than
the other social media accounts. I just barely open my Gmail acc when we have an activity or any
announcement given by our instructors.
3. How often do you stay online? (e.g., 5 hours a day, 8 hours a day, and so on)
- It depends if I have a lot of free time, I can consume to 7 hours a night. I don’t usually use
phone during the day because we have class and I have priorities too.
4. If you open your FB account; do you keep your identity public or private? Why?
- I keep my identity private, because it makes me much comfortable if my identity is not
that expose, and I have a social anxiety that I’m afraid to be judge by the others so I prefer
keeping it private.
5. What would be the possible “benefits” and “risks” if your online profile is made public?
- The possible benefits of it is you can gain a lot of attention of the other people and you
will be known by the others, you will get compliment either but the negative impact or the risks
that will cause if your profile is getting public, some others will use your identity and pretend to
be like you. It will possibly use your identity for scam, tripping, and etc.
