Not all images in the net are true

Internet user can get a lot of images when they type certain thing they want and the images will appear but beware not all of the images are true.Some of it might be photoshop and some other user want to make fun of it.

Because some of the user easily believe it and thought its was real.But not all the weird images are fake some of it are true.

Facebook

"Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Since September 2006, anyone over the age of 13 with a valid e-mail address can become a Facebook user. Facebook's target audience is more for an adult demographic than a youth demographic. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by workplace, school, or college. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better"

reference : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook

As we can see, facebook admin allowed kids at the age of 13 to have an account at facebook. Kids at this age are easy to be manipulated and easy to trust others. Facebook also allowed to update personal detail like name, age, hometown and event hp number. From my perspective, kids at this age doesnt know anything about the important of not sharing private information. They only know to have fun, get new friend wtihout thinking how old the person can be, how dangerous they can be.

From my experience, i been introduce to Myspace since im 13. I upload my picture, give my detail and adding friend around the world. But i got lots of friend request from someone that far older then me, even 10 years older then me. How scary is that? An adult trying to befriend to a kids? There nothing we, as an adult, can think what in the world they thinking in their mind accept doing something really bad or planning something bad.

One more thing for me, that really odd is the survey,game or service that facebook offer for their user. Survey about friend? about ourself. Dont you thing facebook is trying to get our personal detail, in a very smart way? I keep thinking about this and it make me wonder, why on earth should facebook do something like this.

Think again. Maybe we already exposed so much thing about ourself on the internet. Things getting really danger nowdays.

think before you post.

for the sake of personal information

Sooner or later, due to everyone's insecurities about internet safety and information phishing.





We might end up with paper bags on our heads in every photo. To keep our faces from being known by the internet public.

And there will soon be designer paper head bags.

Now our identity will be secured within the confinements of paper bags!





Well, there is a possibility, right?
:P

Hacking

Hacking,i am sure a lot of people know the meaning of hacking.
And i wont be suprised that some people can gain money with only hacking,with using the internet,hacking can be so easy.
Such as,with hacking people username and password (some user love to use they own name or they own birthday date as password) hacker can access to they bank account and steal a lot of money or even can make one company bankrupt.

But some of the hacker can help us gain some information that may help the police to solve a case and so on.

Think before you post.



Ok i want to share with you guys how dangerous the internet can be. The video is about thing that we post and how can it be very dangerous to us. From the video, the user, sara, probably have a blog and had post anything she want. Unfortunately, she never think how bad can it be. From her schoolmate until a stranger know her, what she wear, what she had done, even the color of her underware.

"Anything you post online, anyone can see. Family, friend, even not so friendly people."

The tagline show how dangerous the internet can be. Sometimes kid doesnt know that give a personal detail to a stranger, can be very dangerous. As an adult, its is our responsibility to warn children from talking to stranger, now just in real world, but in internet too. From the simple detail that we give, it can be a deadly weapon to us.

So before you post anything. like the tagline said...

"Think before you post"

more on safety: viruses and identity

I've compiled some children's websites on the net specifically for children's use.

http://www.kidsites.com/
http://kids.yahoo.com/
http://www.kidgrid.com/

But then again, I suppose just restricting them to browsing kid websites is not enough as children tends to stray off in the internet world on their own considering it's web2.0 now.
I am amazed yet shocked to see 10 year olds with facebook profiles now and adding various people to be friends with regardless whether they know them or not.

Or even kids who posts vlogs(video blogs) on youtube. Same case with blogs too; revealing quite alot of private info.

According to this website,
Internet's safety for children should not only consist of browsing websites but also:
Click on the links to get to the direct guidelines page :)

They also added a section regarding viruses which i think is something we did not include, or did we? Well, I kind of forgot about virus security, eventhough it's pretty much important too. Viruses are the source of malicious software and not anyone would want them in their PCs.

Lastly,
Private information is by far the most vital part of keeping safe. Browsing on the net is almost equivalent to walking in a park only virtually together with a digital identification card of some sort. Once you leak your information out, people can or will do things to you.


So keep your internet journey safe, friends~
Tell your little brothers and sisters too and be good siblings :D
