video 1: i watched this and it says how people should think before they put stuff on the internet. people should think before they post and not just post anything like a name or phone number because anyone can see it and anyone could take it if they wanted to. so dont post personal info because the turn out will affect you badly.

video 3: this talks about myspace. i dont use myspace since all the things that have gone wrong with their site and all the older people that use it to pick up younger people. people just dont know that myspace shares everything you put there its not that private to only you and your friends since it can be set up to the public.

video 4: sexual predators are always a bad thing. you always need to know who you are talking to online and if u dont somehow find out and you always want to know their either exact age or their age group. it will help you better understand the internet.

globalization 9/17/07

the world is shrinking. i dont mean literally. but its shrinking in ways of communication and transportation. now it only takes ours to get across the world by plane but before it could take months by anything. now we use cellphones to talk to people around the world. they used to have phones that could only talk to people that were near you in your location. now we use cars to get everywhere on land and planesiin the sky and trains underground. the internet has also expanded globalization you can email someone anywhere on earth and they will get it in seconds. and you can now chat with other people too using IM services.
