Safe Blogging

Video 1: The video taught me that even if putting pictures on the internet may seem fun at the time, it could turn out badly. Sure your friends will be able to see a cool picture of you. But so will other people. People you don't know. People who might be trying to take advantage of you.

This video made me realize that it's best to be safe, no matter what. Something that may seem harmless now may have dire consequences in the future.

Video 2: The second video showed a girl getting up in front of her school and giving a speech about why she hates this girl. Obviously no one would say that to another persons face, but putting it online is just as bad because, whether the person realizes it or not, the one getting insulted could see it.

This video made me angry. I don't think anyone deserves to be spoken to or about in such a way, especially for things that they cannot control. Also I think the girl insulting her wasn't smart. Wouldn't she realize that the girl she's insulting would be able to see it?

Video 3: Video three was about a man telling people that anything you put on your myspace could be used to learn more about you. This could affect your potential job, your friends, and anything that's in anyway related to you.

This one showed me that anything and everything you put online can be used against you or seen by other people. If there's something you want only your friends to see make it more private. If there's something you don't want anyone to see, don't put it online at all.

Globalization

The world is shrinking. With new transportation and communication available, it's possible to talk to people on other continents. People can attend weddings of relitives that live countries away. The U.S. open, for example, includes players from all around the world. They are able to get there, compete, then when they're done they can go home to their home country. There are many other examples of a smaller world. Globalization is what this shrinking world is called and it makes for an easier time for some things. Buisness meetings can take place with people from around the world. Friends can be freinds with people from the other side of the planet. Planes can take people around the world in a day. It's becoming a very small world
