Security and Safety
-The issue of protecting yourself from harm while on the internet, whether it is a virus, a stalker, or unfriendly people -The internet can be accessed by anyone and everyone!
-The speed and innovation of the security and safety is how fast things can change to be made more secure. For example, if a virus protection is defective, people will try to innovate, or change it, as fast as possible.
-Many things are stored on the internet, including bank accounts, phone bills, and h… Continue

Well, its a little hard to find web law. First, there is internet in many countries. So, it is hard for world leaders to make web laws, because there are so many peple that have to agree. Another thing is that there are so many web sites, it would take forever to go through them all and make laws concerning what people may or may not do on certain web sites.
For example, if the U.S wanted to make a law aginst putting your personal information on the internet, and the U.K didn't, then the U.S cou… Continue

I just wanted to blog about Cyber bullying because I can not stress it enough!! Cyber bullying is awful, and needs to be prevented. It will easily lead some kids to suicide. You never know what another person is going through. If they are having a hard time and you bully them, you have just made their life worse,… Continue

Our class just finished watching the Digital Documentary, and in my opinion, every single kid that was interviewed was a total computer, who were all apparently antisocial. All of the kids didn't have a very good relationship with their parents and didn't have very many friends, which only further proves the point that too much electronic time really kills your vibe. I think that Facebook, Myspace, and video games are cool, but whippersnappers these days just get too much. I didn't understasnd a… Continue

I think the video seemed a little bit paranoid about kids on the internet, but it still had a point. We need to strike a balance between careing about what kids see, and obsessively monitoring everything they do. Parents can't be afraid to ask there kids what they're doing on the internet, but there's no need to watch every little thing they do. If a parent has sufficent evidence to believe that their kids are involved in something they shouldn't be, step in and check out what there doing. But d… Continue

I liked the video we watched yesterday about Internet safety. It helped me realize that teens spend too much time on the internet. It made me understand how important it is to be careful on the internet. It showed how much the internet affects schools and everything else. This video was extremely helpful.

The videos we watched yesterday taught us about internet safety. It was cool because it told you things that other people do. I could compare things that i normally do on the computer to what other people do. It talked about what's appropriate and inappropriate on the internet. I'm not on the internet all that much but it showed people who are on there all the time. There were things about conflicts in schools with the internet. Websites for book notes were one of the problems.

It's kinda hard to start but. . . here goes :). It think the video was very truthful. Teens do spend most of their time on the internet, texting, etc. etc. I realized that on the internet, you can just be who you are without getting judged by every person who looks at your face. The internet is like a way to act however you want without thinking, "Oh, what's she going to think about my shirt? Are people going to laugh at me? Do I look pretty enough? Are they going to think I'm copyng thei… Continue

My opinion on the video was that, parents should have a knowledge on what their children are doing on the internet. The teens seem so unaware of the dangers of these sites that they think its a secondary lifestyle, which is totally unacceptable. The Texting situation is Ordinary. I don't see the problem with texting, unless the text messaging goes too far. On the other hand, parents should be happy their children are busy into the phone instead of constantly into trou… Continue

My class just finished watching the "growing up online" video. The video helped me understand how important it is to be safe on the internet. The video also talked about growing up or being mature online. I thnk it is important to practice digital citisenship online. It means not being rude and not saying things that would affend other people (different races, cultures, or religions). It talked about how people on facebook, myspace (or any other social website) act like a different person.
