Social Smarts

By reading, Social Smarts, showed me how i need to be smart about being online and it helped me realize that a reputation is very important, having a bad rep makes me people judge you and makes people not want you around. I know i few people that ruined their rep by doing drugs and other things that were not smart and it made people think differently of them. They fixed it by showing people they could change.

Technology Today

From the article, A Tale of Two Worlds: Old School, New School, I thought it was trying to say that the world is advancing very quickly and the younger generation is adapting to having technology for everything. The younger generation is able to work and use this new technology more than adults can because its new to the older generations and the younger ones are being born into it, soon technology will take over everything.

Social Media

 After finishing the article, An open letter to teens: Social Media, my views of safety on Facebook, Twitter, etc. changed.  I think that people need to be more aware of what could and most likely will happen if they put their personal information online.  In this era, it is so much easier and simpler to find information about you, or other teens on the internet. Knowing how to be smart about what you put online is a "skill" every teen needs, think about reducing the number of teens that become abducted and or raped, does that sound good? I think so. Facebook and other online social networks are fun, but let's keep them safe!
