New media has become a big part in the lives of our generation, and will continue to do so. As new media becomes more and more popular, the issue of privacy and confidentiality comes up. Many people refuse to be involved with social networks due to this privacy issue. Although this may be a big issue, many sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace implemented privacy settings, where you are allowed to choose who is allowed to view your information.
People need to always use new media with a slight caution. They need to make sure what they're posting is appropriate for everyone who can view your post. Many times you hear about how companies can now search the internet and bring up basically anything you posted online. This can affect if you get a job or not. Although I don't believe that everything a person posts tells what type of person they are, it is not a smart idea to handle new media without caution.

I agree with your statement. People need to be very careful because companies can search you very easily these days.
