4. Identity Play
Things you post can go to other people that your friends. Of course all of the things I post are directly meant to reach my friends. I never post innappropiate things, and I never post personal information like my address or phone number. The problem is when people do post that kind of material. People out there can easily get into your Facebook, they have ways of doing it. If you have personal information, they could catch you, and you might get into a BIG problem. Just don't post important info in your profile, that's it. Don't put your original last names, and/or use nicknames. This is what I think about identity play.
3. Social Networking - Keeping in touch
I think that social networking is not such a big deal as people think it is. Social networking such as Facebook, Myspace, etc. are good in certain ways. Having these sites can help you contact someone you haven't seen in a while. They can also entertain with the games they contain, or simply to talk and socialize with your current friends. It can also help for business. People think that it is only for talking, but you can download blogs and pictures or videos to Facebook, educational blogs. Of course, there is online bulling and that is not okay at all. People should really stop that, it doesn't matter what the case is, people commit suicide because of this. These are the reasons of why I think that Social Networking is not bad at all. Yes, it might contain innappropiate stuff, but you can choose whether to see that stuff or not.
5. Parenting - Privacy and Control
People exagerate about privacy and control. These programs that they refer to like ''Catch a Predator'' just grow fear in adults without need. Yes, it is true that something bad might happen because of online blogging, but you can stop it. If you don't post important and personal information into your blog, they will not catch you. Just think about it, don't tell them who you are, and do not tell them where they can find you, that will just bring trouble into your life. Parents are really overreacting about this. I think they should stop those warnings, they are UNNECESSARY. This is the way I feel about the privacy and control of parents with blogs.
5. I think you got the idea of what can happen in the web but still protection is needed. For many teenagers when their parents put a block on something on their computer the teenagers may think that parents exagerate but the truth is that protection is needed because there are many types of dangers in the internet and so I think you kind of exagerate a bit.

ResponderEliminarI agree with you, sometimes internet it is dangerous, someone can get into your Facbook and see all your personal information. So everybody should not put their addresses, phone numbers or their personal information.
ResponderEliminarRodrigo, im commenting in your Paragraph 5, about Parenting and Privacy Control. I agree with you, people (that communicate to other people) exaggerate about all what theres in the internet. Not everything in the internet is bad, it has good things right? With the internet we have the opportunity to communicated with other persons around the world fro FREE. Rgarding to the Child-Parent relationship including the internet. Parents must look for us, but they do tent to overreact. They must have confidence in us, and trust us to take the right decisions.
