online safety wrap up

Some of the most important aspects of online safety is to never give out your age, gender, address, school, or social security number, or credit/debit card numbers, cause if you do person you told that to could steal your ID. if you tell anyone your password they could go on your account for a social network then say stuff about you that's not true, thinking they are being funny but that is cyberbullying and they probably don't know that. you need to use netiquette and for people that don't know what that is it is etiquette and network put together to make one word. but using good netiquette makes you look good online and not a slob.

Twitter: Often first, not always right

News of the tragic death of Whitney Houston this weekend didn't appear first on television or mainstream news sites. Instead it was revealed in a tweet posted forty-five minutes before the Associated Press reported the tragedy.Take, for instance, the recent death of college football coach Joe Paterno. On January 21, Penn State student website Onward State ran a story claiming that Paterno had passed away. The article was picked up by a blog on CBS Sports and spread rapidly on Twitter. Except that the article was incorrect -- Paterno was in a serious condition but did not in fact pass away until the day after the report ran.

Online Experience A Wrap Up

Technology is important in today life because everyone uses it for everything to search things up if they don’t know it, out in public and they don’t even know they are using it. Technology has changed over the last five years because everyone had to use CD players and carry around all the CDs for it and cell phones didn’t fit in your pocket, if you had a cell phone you carried around like a duffel bag and the phone was like a huge walkie-talkie. The technology will change a lot in the next 5 years cause we have come a long way in technology and I think that we will have cell phone put into our brain and not have it in our pocket and video games won’t have controllers cause we have it now to where you move and the person on the screen will move to what you move. The technology I use to do school work is the computer to search what I need to find or to check HAC (home access center) or cell phone to call people to understand it. The technology I use for personal use is the computer to check social networks, and video game console to play against other people. In the future I will use the tools from Online A by using iGoogle to search and check Gmail and blogger to blog stuff. The tool I think is good for lifelong learning is delicious because it is a social network and you wouldn’t know that. The tool I will never use again is probably RSS feed. My favorite tool I created is iGoogle. The one that is my least favorite tool is going to the podcasting.
