Reflections on Digital Life

Facebook Follies 

On Monday we watched a documentary on "Facebook Follies." Some things that were in this documentary was. One time a girl made an event for her birthday party on Facebook. She ended up forgetting to make the event private. So about 1000 people seen the event and showed up at her house. I think this was just a misunderstanding and I don't blame her for taking off to her aunts house.Also a lot of people post bad and inappropriate post on Facebook and other social media. Even if you made those post 10, 15 or only 2 years ago they follow you throughout your whole life. This stuff mainly reflects on job interviews. Even if you were to delete a post off Facebook or any website somebody in this world still has it saved. Think before you post. Also watch what you are doing in public because literally anyone can snap a picture of you and post it on social media. Everyone gives out way too much personal information on Facebook. You could at  least give out fake information or not your full name because hackers can easily use that information to make a fake ID to make money. Or there is the option to just not get Facebook at all. Most trouble and crime is caused by Facebook. You give out so much information on Facebook that anyone can find relatives they may not even know they had.

Digital Life Quiz 

This quiz was very difficult to answer and some of the answers were quite surprising. One answer that surprised me was number 13 how 85 percent of guardians talk to there children about being safe and smart online, because my mom barely ever talks to me about being smart and safe online. The question about how teens sleep with there phones or iPods next to them in bed at night reflects me the most. I always sleep with my phone next to me. Then the question that says one third of kids sends 100 texts a day does not reflect me at all because I barely text mostly just snapchat. T hese stats don't compare too good to how I use digital media because I answered how the questions apply to me and i only got about 3 right, The social media I probably use most would be Snapchat  on my phone. Because you get to send pictures instead of just words. I probably use twitter the least because I'd rather not go through girls tweets of the complaining about there love life. On how I use these sites, I use my phone because it is the most convenient.

The Digital World 
There are plenty of upsides of living in a digital life, but there is some downsides too. An upside for relationships with others is that you can stay connected with them very easily. You can message them and they will get it instantly within seconds A downside is that a lot of times people would rather talk on the internet instead of face to face. An upside for society is that you can get information around quickly although that could be a downside too because people could be spreading rumours and bullying people through the internet. You might not want something about you spread all over the internet. I connect with others using different sites and apps. It makes things a lot more convenient. I usually don't create things on digital media though. I have before though.

Digital Dummies?

• a guy made a facebook status in the middle of his own wedding, I think that  is quite rude. 
• cellphones increase levels of stress.
• damaging relationships in workplaces.
• people always have there heads stuck in their phones and don't even realize whats going on around them.
• a lot of emergencies and accidents are caused by people texting.
• over 10% of drivers on the road are texting.

Inside the Dark Web

• as soon as you type something into the search bar companies take your cereal number and watch you surf the web.
• You can be tracked by your wifi signal. 
• if your talking to somebody on chat online people can watch your conversation and maybe your telling someone where you are located and the person viewing your conversation could track youi down. 
• Old posts on social media can come back to haunt you in the future.
• David found a way to solve the problem because if you would install something then  yhey wouldnt be able to track you and figure out who you are because your not using google or safari. 

Technology presentation 

• kids ages 7-8 use pretty much the same amount of technology us teenagers use.
• Don't give your passwords out to anyone because anyone can go on your account and post and say very bad inappropriate things. and give yourself a bad reputation 
• When you check in and use your location services your giving strangers an idea of where you are and they can go after you.
• Cyber bullying is a against the law and you or your parents can be charged.
• You are responsible for what you send and post. Think before you posts.

Privacy on the Internet 

• I think that this little comic is a good example about internet privacy and it is very true.
• It is very important to have your privacy settings locked because you probably don't want some stranger looking at everything about you and what you post.
• You probably don't need to update your status every hour about where you are and what you are doing because nobody really cares besides hackers.
• You need or should have to have different passwords for different sites because if someone finds out one password then they can get on to all of your accounts and find all your information.
• You really should have a hard password on your mobile devices that nobody would guess because they can leak all your stuff including text messages, photos, and etc. 

Everyday Privacy 

 This article confirmed that when you check in someplace, anywhere can see where you are. Then later on you get personalized marketing recommendations. It also confirmed that you can enter a code to block your display when calling someone. I thought that was a thing but wasn't sure. Something in this article that surprised me was how your geo-location device records your vehicles location at all times.

Cyber Bullying 

Some different roles people play in cyber bullying situations are the target. The target is the person being bullied. Then there is the  offender. The offender is who is the bully.  There is also the bystanders which witness the situation and up standers who stand up for a person in the situation. Online bullying can escalate when more people get involved and threats start being made. It is important to be an up stander because bullying is bad and hurtful. You can deescalate the situation by becoming an up stander. The target or up stander can tell an adult or someone they can trust. Bullying is very bad and you could really hurt someone and bad things could happen like suicide.
