I see what the girl in the story is trying to do. She thinks that if she posts the embarrassing pictures of herself first, then people will understand that they are jokes and for fun. The problem is though, that people can still use these pics in a harmful wayby adding a different caption.

Privacy is not just for the people who are maginalized in society, it is a freedom that every member of our country can enjoy. Sometimes it is abused though, and people end up getting a lot of trouble for the things that they wish to keep private.

This is important because there are so many times that I have listened to speakers that have been all over the place with their speeches. If you set a clear theme it will help the audience to follow your speech which will get them to listen better.

I think this may be the most important point because audiences do judge people at first sight. I feel that if you are boring and dull at the start of the presentation then the audience will never try to regain focus. I don't think the speaker needs to do anything crazy but a strong opening can really boost your speech.

Today, i feel as if online communication is less topic based and there is more emphasis on meeting new people and socializing. There are still topic based discussions on sites like reddit but I feel like online communication is all about being social now.

Whileteens of the past were usually interacting in person, today people communicate at all times with the use of social media and texting. We dont have to call home phones anymore, in fact people rarely use them. Teens of today's society though, are not labeled wierd for being in chatrooms but it is considered pretty normal

What decides if something is covered by the media is determined by the public's interests. Stories used to be covered that had value. Today, all we see is celebrities outfits, deaths and shootings, and Hollywood gossip. There is so substance behind articles anymore and when watching the news I either get bored or depressed from what I see.

When things come up in the news there is a certain amount of time that you have before the information is considered old. So many important and groundbreaking events are brought up by the media but once that situation is no longer important to much of the public then it is rarely spoken about again. Today, people want their news fast so stories are given quick ad fast so they do not become dull and old.

Memes aren't a single thought because while the picture may be the same, the words are constantly changing. The picture may even be manipulated, like in the anti smoking commercial that always plays on tv. Memes can be formed and changed to fit any situation in life which makes them so popular.

I constantly notice this. Besides the Super Bowl, everyone hates commercials. People do not really pay attention to them when they come on so advertising companies have switched to placing their product in popular videos. An example is youtube stars drinking certain beverages in their videos or tv show characters using certain household products. It is an extremely smart move because the viewers get the message without really having to pay attention.

This reminds me of memes, tweets, and other things that become globally recognized because of how controversial they are. People feed on the news their friends post which keeps tweets and memes alive.

The internet was once seen as a free place where people could do or say whenever they want. It is still somewhat free but some people use it for the wrong reasons and end up hurting people in the process.

Companies can gain information from what you search and what you post. They can gather youre age group, sex, and even IP address. The bad part is that people unknowingly send them information in which the companies gather to suggest other pages and links to you.
