Summary Draft 1

In the article “The Perils of Over-sharing in Social Networks”, Emm (2014) observed an increasing dependency on the internet in daily lives and believed that along with the convenience of the internet, security can be easily compromised. Sharing too much information online can threaten the safety of individuals and their organizations. For instance, thieves can be informed of an opportunity to steal when people shared about going on a holiday. Emm (2014) thus urged readers not to be complacent about security by using different passwords and changing them regularly.

  1. Hi! It is a nice summary to read and the rough ideas of the article could be understood well by the readers through it.
    However, it might be better to mention the main idea of the article in the first sentence of summary. The last two points are not so necessary to be mentioned as they are the supporting ideas and examples in the article but not the key point. There is one key point not elaborated well, which is the false sense of security provided by the use of mobile device.
    The first half of summary did a good paraphrasing job and the whole summary has a good organization as the summarized ideas are well connected and complete.
