Voki vs. Blabberize

Between the two websites we used to create avatars, I think that Voki was easier to use. I also liked it more because you could create your own avatar, rather than find an image off the internet. It was less glitchy than blabberize. However, I don't think I'd use either of the websites again, because there isn't really a purpose to them, besides for entertainment.

Digital Footpring Analysis

I'm proud that there isn't really anything provacitive or unacceptable on my digital footprint. I'm surprised to see that only one image of me on google showed up when I searched my name. I think that's because all of my social networking sites are on a private setting. There's not really anything I'm embarassed about my pictures. I don't think there's much I can change about my Facebook, or the image I want to convey besides swearing sometimes. I also think I should clear out my friends list to only people I know, because I have over 3,000 friends on Facebook.

Cyber Bully Video

I think that the movie Cyber Bully was not realistic whatsoever. At the end, it showed what actions you are supposed to take after being cyber-bullied, which is a good thing. I think that most people that get cyber-bullied, are bullied because they put themselves in that situation first. The movie did show some truth though, and it also showed all the different ways to cyber-bully. We learned that you aren't supposed to fight fire with fire while being cyber-bullied online, when the main character in the movie did, she got singled out by everyone. We learned almost everything that was the main idea to cyber-bullying in the video. I don't think there were any differences, because most cyber-bullying cases are the same. I think that this case was most similar to the case where the 11 year old girl left her Facebook logged on in her friends computer.

Netiquette

Netiquette is how you should act on the internet. It affects everyone, because everyone can see what you post/say on the internet. Being proper and acting nice is more delightful for everyone, especially on the internet. Some examples of good netiquette are; respecting other peoples privacy, being nice and not rude, and not calling people out. Some examples of bad netiquette are, breaking the law, abusing your power, and hacking.

Downloading Music

This article pretty much summarizes the terms of illegal music downloading, and what copyright laws allow. For example; you can make a copy of a CD you bought, and use to for your own purposes legally, but you can not distribute it to other people. A major reason for copyright law, of course; is loss in revenue. The artists of the music you're stealing, want money for their work, stealing their music is almost the same as just stealing something from the store. It doesn't have to be just about music though, people can steal movies, books, etc. Yet can get in trouble by the law, and have to pay a fine for stealing any of them.
