This week we focused a lot on a new topic that brought some thought and concern to a lot of the class considering most people our age spend a lot of time on the internet. We close read two articles about how websites are able to take the information you enter into their website, analyze it, and follow your actions on the internet with it. They can even have access to medical and financial information that you might not even know that they have. This has become a concern with many people because the websites are most of the time doing this without the customer even knowing, which can be considered an invasion of privacy. In class we were to pick a side of the argument, if we thought the government should be doing a better job of making sure citizens are getting the privacy they deserve. We read the articles, close read them and took notes, and discussed with partners in order to get a handle on which side of the argument we wanted to take. The internet is a scary place and is never as private as you think. Pretty much anyone can see anything you put up online and nothing is ever really permanently deleted. This also makes the internet a scary place and everyone should make sure to think twice before posting something online. This article tells about how you can help protect your online privacy: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2052813/3-essential-techniques-to-protect-your-online-privacy.html
