A Virtual Death and Real Dilemma

What I learned from the article was about how the internet can be so dark and evil in many ways, this reading was interesting in many ways, because it tied into the world of online scamming. So many people online believed this Kaycee girl was real and that she was really suffering from a disease, and has the online world behind her believing thats she was a real person. These types of scams and hoax's happen every day. I learned that people can be so convinced that these stories can seem so real, and you really dont know who to trust. I learned that you really have to be careful what you buy into online because you dont know who is being real and who is fake, in the story of Kaycee people were so bought in and thought this was real, that many were devastated when they found out she was "dead", but in all actuality never existed, thus leaving more devastation.

What I found useful was in the article when it talks about audience assessment, this allows people to see the situation and really look into it to maybe see if its real by an evidence that they read through as people posts blogs and pictures, revealing who they may be. You have to really look at the situation and make sure that its real, before you buy into it.

The World Wide Web

One main point I took from this although just used with a few words, it that the internet is up against tv and video games, I found this interesting, because I never looked at it in that sense, but after reading a little bit here and doing other readings, these two things really do take on a type of competition with internet. I think this is interesting because these two things actually tie into the internet, so in a sense, they can be their competition, along with their allies.

Another interesting thing was about W3, and its basically the URL's, HTTP's, and HTML's, these are important because these are the addresses that control the internet. These allow you to control what you are viewing as a valid address. These control the transferring of data and information you are taking in, this is important, because this allows you to actively navigate through the web.

Another thing I found interesting was labeled in the "Future" portion, this is because where it says, "integration with concurrent editors and other real-time features, such as teleconferencing and virtual reality". Now this is important because these things now are happening or have happened. I think that I can relate this to when as a kid my grandpa used to talk to me as a kid about touch screen media, games, tv's, phones..etc. I say this because with these things that we use we see so much growth within these media's and how they are so vastly changing.

End of The Books

What I felt I learned from this article is that, was about how fast paced technology is, and how important it is for us to keep up with these technologies. It all is very relative to the way we work today. I learned how much of an actual fear could be from the new technology causing the lost of books. But to me personally there is too much faulty things online that doesnt allow a person like myself to feel at ease about your readins online. Books have so much credibility and is very good hard evidence that really cant be lost for the most part. An internet page can be up one second and then the next its gone. The use of writing versus typing to me has so much more meaning as well because, with something that is typed, it can be auto corrected, spell checked and stuff of that sort, with writing the material is much more raw. You can have so much more meaning and it can be a lot better even as a reader to see actual hand writing. For me I feel that technology is a huge huge help, but as for taking over reading, I dont think that will ever happen. Because to me sometime actually turning the pages feels just that much better.

Men Victimized by Facebook Data Theft More Than Women

I found this article to be really interesting, when looking through the All facebook site, I saw this and just by reading the title I was shocked. But after reading into the article it started to make a bit more sense. Because women tend to be more cautious on Facebook, as men are a little bit more reckless. Girls are very picky with who they accept and things of that sort, while guys just tend to pretty much add whoever. I thought it was really funny when in the article it talked about fake profiles and how men would easily click the add button based on the picture they saw. All jokes aside I think this article does bring up a good point, that men need to be a little bit more careful with what they are doing online because there privacy is always at risk. I directly can relate because at one point I was accepting any friend request until who start seeing these fake posts and all this stuff. But now im definetly not like that, if the person has less than 5 mutual friends I tend to not add them at all.

Blogging: self presentation and privacy

A main idea I took from this reading was the part on privacy for blogging, there is so many different types of privacies online that get broken all the time, as far as information and stuff of that sort. How I relate that to me was when I first started blogging a long time ago and all the un needed questions that were asked about me that you blow off at the time, but dont really realize how personal it is.
Another part that I found important was the "reasons for blogging" there is so many different things as showed in this reading for people to blog, for my own personal reasons I blogged because I was able to outlet how I might have been feeling at the time, or if I felt it would be informal for someone to know something I did.
Another part I found to be important was the sharing of the personal information, like how it was talked about sex, once shouldnt really want to talk about this stuff, because it can one, endanger you, the other person, or it can cause a lot of confusion and miscommunication.
