Facebook Follies
1. What are some of the problems with posting/tagging photos of yourself or others doing embarrassing or stupid things on the internet? Explain.
When you are trying to get a job in the future or anything professional the pictures you posted could hold you back. When you upload a photo it is on Facebook forever and even if you want to take it down Facebook will still have it. This is like how the politician in the video dropped out of his campaign since the opponent showed embarrassing pictures from his past.
2. What consequences might follow for “incriminating photos” posted on Facebook? Explain.
You could get in trouble for anything bad you upload to Facebook as everyone can see it including any government official or police officer. Even though you think it is not a big deal to have a picture up, everyone can see the picture and many people could find it offencive or be hurt which could lead to you getting in trouble or having charges pressed. This is like how in the video people at the vancouver riot were taking pictures and after words these pictures were used to identify people in these photos.
3. Do you use censorship when you post photos or messages on Facebook? Meaning, are you careful to omit inappropriate words and photos?
Yes i try to be careful with what i put on Facebook as i have friends and family on it and i would not want them to see what i am doing. Before i put up any photo or post i think about who may see it and try to not upload things that may be offencive in any way. However sometimes other people upload photos of me which i wouldn't want to be on Facebook.
4. How is social media changing the way people interact with each other? Explain.
It is changing how people interact with one another with finding old friends or relatives and keeping up with them. When you grow up you usually lose track of your old friends but Facebook gives u a chance to find them and stay in touch with them so you don't lose any friends. This is like how in the video the old man wanted to find his real father and for years he had tried with no success, but then when his granddaughter came over with Facebook he was able to find his relatives in a matter of minuites.
5. Do you think it is fair that you are judged based on who you are “online”? Explain your answer.
No i don't believe it is fair because as people grow up they change and mature and should not be judge on who they were as a teen when they are all grown up. This could effect their jobs in the future when they apply and they don't get the job since their previous photos or statues on Facebook were immature or offensive. This is again like the politician that could not peruse his dream of being a politician since as a teen he had immature photos.
6. What does it mean to be a “digital citizen”? Give one example of “bad digital citizenship” from the documentary.
To be a digital citizen to to follows the rules of the internet and to watch what to post. It is to be respectful of the other people on the internet and face pock as to not offend them and only post good things that are good. To be a bad digital citizen is to not follow the rules of the internet and Facebook and to not care for the people that use the internet. These people need to learn to have respect for the website and to only put things on it that they are sure would not offend anyone in any way.
