What I learned about Digital Footprints

Today in class I learned a few things. Like Internet etiquette, Google's new privacy policy and how to keep safe on the internet. Internet Etiquette is something I think A LOT of people need to learn! There are SO many people out there that I like to call "E-Thugs" that do it just to get a rise out of someone! If you have nothing better to do than to bully and be rude to people online then they don't even need to own a computer. Another thing that I learned today that I thought was interesting was Google's new privacy policy. I am not sure where Google was trying to go with it but I don't like it because it keeps track of EVERYTHING you do and ANYONE with a Google account can see it! The last thing that just blew my mind was getting on the sites where you can find yourself. It was scary to me to find that not only does it know where I live but it also popped up my relatives as well! :/

How To Keep A Low Profile On The Internet

My Opinion About Digital Footprints

I think that Digital Footprints get a little bit scarey at time. After watching the videos about how people can find out where you live in a snap of a finger kinda makes me a little leery about all of my accounts that I have online. I personally don't think that it is fair for a business to not hire you because they have seen pictures or statuses on Facebook or Twitter. I just seems to me like you can't really live your own life anymore. I think that what you post on the internet is your business. Even if you delete a picture from the internet people can still track it. I think that yeah some people may have bad pictures at one time and then delete it but I don't think that they should be penalized for it forever. The past is the past... People change... I just don't think it's right.

Phone jailbreaking should stay legal, Web freedom advocates say

In this article, they are talking about how Apple wants to start suing people if they Jailbreak their iPhone because their software has a copy write on it. I think that people should have the freedom to do whatever they want with their phones. The iPhones are expensive and if I bought an iPhone of my own I would want to do whatever I wanted to do with it. It is people choice if they want to risk their phones to get bugs or not. I think that Apple is wanting to take too much control over their products.

About 21st Century Skills Class

In 21st Century Skills class I have really learned a lot. The only thing that gets me sometimes is all the multitasking and linking everything together. At my old school I had a lot of computer classes but none of them were really classes on the internet, they were all classes on specific programs like Photoshop and things like that. I really like the fact that in this class we get to explore the in's and out's of the internet and different programs that work through the internet. I really think that this is a really good opportunity to be able to take this class.
