Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many benefits as well as risks to social networks. The greatest benefit is that they allow us to connect with individuals from anywhere in the world, at any distance, and in a seconds notice. This is incredibly powerful and opens the door for many opportunities in all types of markets. Social networks also come with risks, since everyone is on it people tend to share all of their information which can cause problems for that individual if it falls into the wrong hands. For example, an individual connects with a family member who lives in Brasil and has casual conversations with that family member every other day. A hacker may be able to access that information and extract all the valuable information needed to steal that individual's identity.
