On the Internet, Nobody Knows you're a Dog: #3

I laughed when I first looked over the cartoon, "On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're A Dog." I analyzed the cartoon in a way that brought a specific meaning to me. It is so important to understand that we have no idea who anyone really is on the web. With the line, Nobody Knows, points out that no one really does know who they are dealing with online. We must protect ourselves, and importantly, truly represent who we are in a positive light. What we allow others to see about us online can be either very detrimental or positive. We need to keep this in mind when we let any personal information about us online.

Facebook: #3

After reading the article, "A mother and daughter face up to Facebook," by Debra Bruno I almost started to chuckle. Just recently my mom got a Facebook account. She is 43 years old and is now on the same social networking system I use constantly. At first Initially, I was weary about accepting her friend request. Her having access to my Facebook page meant she now had access into my life. She could read my current status, look at my "party" pics, and even read what others were writing on my wall. As weird as it may sound, it does not bother me that my mom can look at my Facebook page whenever she wants because she is truly one of my best friends, and isn't Facebook centered on "FRIENDS"?

The Coming Tug of War Over the Internet: Online #2

I personally use the search engine Google. Honestly, I have no idea why, but I believe it must be do to "branding." However, those who use search engines use the engine which provides them with the best information possible. As consumers, we have also chosen which online shopping sites we used frequently. Washington Post writer, Christopher Stern helps online users become aware of what some major telephone companies have in mind. "The nation's largest telephone companies have a new business plan, and if it comes to pass you may one day discover that Yahoo suddenly responds much faster to your inquiries, overriding your affinity for Google. Or that Amazon's Web site seems sluggish compared with eBay's." These companies would for a set price give one company priority on their networks over another. It is interesting that these carries have figured out just another way to make more money. I personally believe that internet providers should allow the consumer to decide what search engines and shopping sites they wish to use.
