This article introduces Facebook’s new privacy changes and how it will affect you if you are currently a member. The social networking giant has improved its privacy settings, while making it easier for its members to understand what type of privacy setting is best for them. Facebook is going to make three key changes in the upcoming update of the website. The first being “No more regional networks”, which basically means that Facebook is going to demote all cities and regions from being considered networks because there were certain cities and regions that were millions strong. This is a good thing because it would mean that less people are able to view your profile that you were trying to share with your “network”. The second transition is going to be the ability to “Control who sees each piece of individual content you add or upload”. This essentially gives you an option of who can or cannot see your “status updates”. This is good because you can now choose whether you want a group of people to know where you are at or what you are doing, or have everyone know. The final key change is, “A simplified privacy page”. The privacy settings on Facebook can be tricky to get around, and can be a downright pain in the butt. According to CNN, “To make privacy simpler, Facebook's controls will be changed to permit sharing with three groups: "only friends," "friends of friends," or "everyone." In addition, the Privacy Page itself will be simplified to combine some settings which currently overlap” (cnn.com). Facebook is taking this privacy thing serious because they want to keep a positive public image.
I think that Facebook has made a good move by creating these new privacy updates, and I think that it can only affect the website in a positive way. The fact that they are the largest social networking site around, with over 350 million members, goes to show you just how much power they have over their competitors. MySpace, another social networking site, used to be the top dog until it got a bad name from rumors of having sexual predators lurking around. Facebook made a wise move by doing something about their privacy problems before it was too late, and even though it is usually the user that puts too much information up on the website. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, had this to say about the upcoming updates, “We'll suggest settings for you based on your current level of privacy, but the best way for you to find the right settings is to read through all your options and customize them for yourself” (guardian.co.uk). As Zuckerberg said, it is up to you to decide what kind of privacy settings is the right one for you, and the websites suggestions can only do so much.

The article at hand talks about how using your cellular phone while driving is usually dangerous and a hands-free headset is not the answer either. One possible remedy to this problem was “ZoomSafer”, which is a free service that uses a phone’s GPS sensors to disable the phone when a certain speed is reached. The best solution is to actually turn off your cellular phone according to the article, “but going cold turkey is hard for many Americans who have become addicted to their gadgets” (cnn.com). Ford and Microsoft also offer a system that uses voice commands to dial your contacts. Nationwide is offering discounts to drivers who actually use call-blocking services while driving to encourage people to put safety first. Aegis Mobility and obdEdge, also use the same type of features that “ZoomSafer” use, “any incoming calls are then routed to voice mail or a message explaining that the phone’s owner is driving. Exceptions can be made for certain numbers” (cnn.com). Some employers are also participating in this service in order to make sure their drivers abide by the cell phone rules. Studies have shown that drivers are four times more likely to get into a car accident when talking on the phone, whether or not they use a hands-free headset.
I think that it is cool how insurance companies are lowering people’s rates for being safe while using a call-blocker. However, it is difficult for someone to not have their phone readily available while driving, especially if they are using their phone for business. According to CNN, “Once a conversation begins, we don’t see a difference between hand-held and hands-free” (cnn.com). I agree with the quote because I think that once we get into a conversation, we go ahead and put driving as a second priority whether or not we realize it. I use my cell phone while driving sometimes but it usually is not for something important at all. I would like to think of myself as a great driver, but I do not think that anything is safe about putting your life and the life of others at risk while using the phone. We as a society usually do not think it is a big deal, but “distraction from cell phone use while driving (hand held or hands free) extends a driver's reaction as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent” (nationwide.com). The statistics alone should put some sense into a person, and the last thing anyone needs on their conscious is a wreck because of a silly conversation over the phone that caused a fatal accident. Think smart.

This article is a perfect example of why social networking sites such as Facebook can be beneficial. The article at hand is about a man who found himself in a sticky situation that had no part in. For Rodney Bradford was charged for robbery in the first degree for a situation in which two men were robbed at gunpoint just 12 miles away from his father’s house. Rodney was at home posting an update on his Facebook account when this situation occurred. The next day Bradford, who was facing separate charges for a 2008 indictment, found out that police were looking for him and decided to turn himself in knowing that he was innocent. Unfortunately, the victims picked him out of the lineup and he was sent to Rikers Island, the New York City jail. Bradford spent the next 12 days talking to his attorney about how he was innocent, and how his Facebook would help out the trial. Lucky for Bradford, Facebook had a timestamp on his “status update” which ended up being the deciding factor of his release from the prison. The only problem with this case is that the prosecutors believe that anyone can be on a person’s Facebook account, but it is nearly impossible to really prove whether it is the actual user.
I think that this is an interesting case of how technology helped give a man back his freedom. It is crazy how a simple status update kept Mr. Bradford from facing some serious jail time, and I think that it just goes to show that Facebook is not all that bad. "We're in a much more trackable world, and for better and for worse," said attorney Jonathan Handel. "The extent to which it means that the right people get prosecuted and the innocent get their cases dropped, that's all of the good" (cnn.com). I am glad that the judge actually accepted the Facebook alibi, and I think that the only downfall to a more “trackable world” is the fact that people may feel like their privacy is being breached. However, I do think that search engines can be a negative to some people who don’t want their Facebook information searchable, “Your Facebook profile can now be indexed in the search results and as a result can provide another favorable listing in the organic search results of the engines” (marketing-jive.com). All in all, social networking sites can actually be beneficial for more than marketing yourself.

The article depicts a popular topic that may or may not have a truly correct answer. The article talks about social networking and kids, and how young is too young for a kid to be on popular social networking sites such as Facebook, and MySpace. It is difficult for the social networking sites to monitor whether or not a kid meets the required minimum age limit of 13 because so many kids are pretending to be older than they really are. One argument for why young children should be on these networking sites is that, “Some scientists worry that pre-adolescent use of the sites, which some therapists have linked to Internet addiction among adults, could be damaging to children's relationships and brains” (cnn.com). However, many people do not think that this social networking craze is as bad as some parents make it out to be, and that most of these young kids tend to do the same things that they would in their offline lives. A huge concern for parents is that, “these technologies are infantilizing the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment” (cnn.com). Many parents do believe that this we must accept the fact that this is a new time and that we just need to get over the fear, and try to monitor our children the best we can.
I think that this article really addresses a popular issue that many parents are aware of, but just do not know how to handle. I personally have been using social networking sites ever since I was 12 years old, now I am 20 and continue to go on my networking sites regularly. I do not think that these social networking sites were such a bad thing, but I do think that of parents do not monitor their kids, it could get bad. We have to face the fact that there is no running away from these networking sites, and that eventually your children will be on sites similar to Facebook, or MySpace. I believe that it just depends on how you prepare your child, and it is up to you to educate them on why not to put up certain information on their profile pages. According to a psychiatrist at West London Mental Hospital, “kids are likely to find the real world boring and will look to more extreme types of behavior to get a kick out of life and that in the virtual world things happen much faster, relationships are begun and ended with the click of a mouse and you can reinvent yourself in your online profile whenever you want to” (geekwithlaptop.com). Kids are always going to find ways to get around things, and it is up to us as adults to help guide them through this process of online social networking while giving them to opportunity to practice it under a controlled environment.

The article at hand depicts a person’s feelings after being rejected or “defriended” on social networking sites such as Facebook, or Twitter. The article begins with a story of a woman who uses Likedln, a professional social networking site, to extend invites to people who appear to have the same career interest as her. Until one day a woman denied her friend request stating that; “I only connect with people I know, and hopefully our paths will cross one day” (cnn.com). Experts say that rejection on social networking sites is just as painful as rejection face-to-face. The article also explains how some people have a harder time dealing with rejection, or even being the rejecter. Many people find it difficult to defriend a person, while others do it very often with the intention of keeping there “friends list” short, while having friends that they actually talk to. The article has people explaining the importance of having friends that you actually know, as opposed to having a friend of a friend. Limiting your friends will allow you to have stronger relationships with them, and eliminate all those awkward rejections and hurt feelings.
I think that we people should not get too emotional when dealing with online rejections via social networking sites. Some people tend to get very emotional when it comes to being rejected online, while others do not take social networking sites as serious. It is hard to get rejected no matter the situation, and I understand why people get so upset when being defriended or unwanted be another. Rejection can really change a person forever, “Very often, the prior experience of rejection causes people to avoid socializing in the future, avoiding it like the child whose hand has been burned by a hot stove and avoids kitchen all together” (mentalhelp.net). We as a society shouldn’t take this online rejection so personally though, after all, many people are not who they are face-to-face as they are online. Therefore, it may be easier for someone to simply reject a Facebook invite without learning about the person. You don’t need to have 1,000 plus friends on Facebook or Twitter in order to be cool, because as long as you have real friends, numbers don’t matter.

Facebook, Twitter, and many of your favorite networking websites that you love looking at day in and day out could prove to be harmful to your personal information and your computer. This is all because,
“more cyberthieves are targeting increasingly popular social networking sites that provide a gold mine of personal information, according to the FBI” (cnn.com). There have been thousands of these social network accounts captured by hackers using them for fraud. Internet phishing is, “The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft” (webopedia.com). This has been a powerful way for people to get a lot of your personal information, and it is being used a lot to lure social networkers into giving away private information on a fake website. These social networking sites have seen massive growth, which only means that there are tons of cybercriminals trying to attack. The article also talks about how many sites encourage their members to change their passwords constantly to avoid the chance of being attacked. During this decade, the most common form of malware attack has been through audio downloads, and while surfing around sites like Google or Yahoo. Social networking sites have tried to answer these complaints from their members by making their systems more secure, while having a complex automated system to avoid the ease for hackers to hijack your accounts.
I think that this issue is very difficult to solve, and I am unsure of how long it will actually take to handle this situation. Hackers are very intelligent, and trying to stop them is a task that is extremely hard due to their ability to stay two steps ahead all the time. The chance of viruses ever going away is not likely in the near future in my opinion. The only way I think that we can stop these hackers is to bulk up the internet security while having more people looking for suspicious behaviors within these popular websites. Many phishing frauds use fake website addresses to try and trick users into believing that something about them is being said on another website and gives the use a link to “check it out”. A lot of these hackers get paid for how many people they can get to click the links. The these phishing tactics are very clever in the way they lure people in, but it is up to the individual to be careful and double check that what they are actually clicking will lead them to where they want to go. It will be hard to stop these frauds and viruses, and it will only get worse before it gets any better, but I think that over time we will be able to do it.

The article at hand discusses the plans of more and more universities putting their lectures up on the internet for everyone to download. Hundreds of universities and many business schools are providing lectures online via Youtube and iTunes U, which is a part of the iTunes online store. According to CNN, “those whose budget won't stretch to a two-year MBA can simulate the experience at home -- or at work, in the gym or anywhere else they choose. And even better for money-conscious learners, the iTunes U content can all be downloaded free of charge” (cnn.com). Some schools have already been doing this, such as the French business school HEC Paris, They have been running podcast of lectures since 2006. Some professors use this online approach to answer commonly asked questions in masses rather than answer questions individually. iTunes U isn’t the only one that has had this idea of putting lectures online, others include Youtube EDU, Academic Earth, and other universities have their own Open Course Wear site. Nevertheless, it is iTunes U that is attracting all the attention and drawing the most interest.
I think the idea of online lectures is a great way to help students study and give them something helpful to listen on walks to class or car rides during test weeks. This would help students out a lot because they will have a chance to actually listen to the lecture for the second time and also give them the ability to start, pause, and stop the lectures in order for them to takes notes without being rushed. I personally have a hard digesting everything while copying notes at the same times, which makes it hard to comprehend the key points of the lecture. “One teacher noticed that each year his MBA students would ask the same questions after his end-of-course summary, so he made a podcast of recurring questions and answers. After encouraging students to come up with new questions, he is now recording responses to those in an effort to compile a video archive of questions and answers” (cnn.com). If our university had every professor provide this luxury to its students I am sure each student would deeply appreciate it while having to deal with less stress of trying to figure out what the professor expects the students to understand. Although this may be very student oriented, non-college students can download and appreciate it the same way. According to bachelorsdegreeonline.com you can, “Visit iTunes U for free access to helpful courses that will enlighten you to the state of the economy, inspire you to start your own business, and give you a little more perspective on what you should be doing with your money”. If time is an option for you, than the new iTunes U could definitely help you out.
