What are some ways (corporate and otherwise) that these technologies can be used?
Social networking can be used in order to stay connected with your friends, get socialize, make new friends, share ideas, join groups to raise awareness among people related to specific issues. it's also used on corporate level where you can get connected with people from work, join the group related to your area of expertise.
What are the benefits of these technologies to society? Be specific.
Social networking is helping people to know and talk with people they wouldn't be able to do in real life due to different reasons. It can also keep people up-to-date with anything going on in any part of world because you've alot of friends from all over the world. Personally i came to know about latest news or happening in some other country through facebook when few friends of mine put that up as their status message or post videos or enws article about it.
Is there a "dark side"?Make sure to include your opinion of the way these technologies might evolve in the future.
People use networking sites to get persocanl information about somebody and then spread it all over. they also use these sites to stalk people and then later try to harm them. there are alot of cases where it got very serious when kids made fun of other kid and it lead to suicide. People take advantage of being anonymous and then threat other people they know in person.
