"The Social Media Revolution"

Here is a cool video that tells you fun facts about your favorite social media sites.

Cyber-Bullying

I believe that students should be aware of the dangerous aspects of the internet and be educated on how to use it properly. Cyber-bullying is an a serious problem, as witness in the Amanda Todd case, and though I think that immediate punishment is fair to a certain degree; it is unrealistic to believe that this zero-tolerance policy will completely cease all acts of online harassment. Teens will be teens, and as brought up in class, will keep doing the same things, and unfortunately that includes acts bullying. Whether the bullying occurs online or in the "real world" it is likely to occur in some degree. That's why I believe that teens should be educated on the matter rather than being punished without knowing why what they did was so wrong.

Social Media Bill of Rights

I agree with Andrews belief that we should protect our rights online by forbidding employers and academic institutions from taking advantage of the information presented on social network pages when considering applicants. However, I don't exactly believe that everything posted on social network profiles is entirely inaccurate. Since people have the freedom to provide any information they like about themselves and also friend whomever they like, it is hard to tell a lie from the truth.

Employers should be aware that their applicants have a life outside of their work, though Andrews view on adopting the "Social Media Bill of Rights" is a bit extreme, it is by no means should be completely dismissed.
