Portfolio 2I prepared a presentation on the use of social networking technology as a potentialimprovement of professional ICT skills. Based on the experience of preparing thepresentation, my reflective writing would emphasize on my learning outcomes from theexperience based on the principles of reflective writing. The potential outcomes that can bederived from the reflective writing refer to the perception of positive and negative outcomesfrom the activity as well as the possible opportunities for executing similar activitydifferently (Jespersen et al., 2014). During the course of preparing the presentation, I was able to reflect critically on therole of social media sites as a common channel of communication as can be observed fromthe statistics of 45% of the world population engaged in internet usage and communicationthrough social media websites (Button, Harrington & Belan, 2014). While majority of users perceive the social media sites on the basis of security andsafety as promising means of communication. However, critical gaps have been identified inthe case of security of Facebook especially observed in the examples of public viewing ofpersonal content as well as commenting options for the public. Therefore, it can be aptlyperceived that despite the capabilities of Facebook as a high advanced technology basedplatform for managing social communication, it is still plagued with the concerns ofmanaging the security of users and their personal identities (Holtgrewe, 2014). The work on my presentation on social networking technology also enabled me toobtain insights into other unethical practices that are responsible for reducing the credibilityof social networking as ICT resources. Examples of scenarios in which fake accounts arecreated by individuals for malicious purposes could be accounted as a major critical gap inthe implementation of social networking sites as credible ICT entities. The positive outcomes that can be perceived from my reflection are inclined towardsthe vast opportunities facilitated by the social networking sites to individuals for ensuringeffective communication. On the contrary, the negative outcomes that can be derived fromthe lack of competent security frameworks in the social networking sites such as Facebookcould be observed in the unprecedented leaks of personal details of users and potential threatsof data theft (Hudson et al., 2016).
