Ted Talks

In these several Ted talks there are many issues dealing with how our private lives on social media and private conversations can become public knowledge. The fact is that we need to be careful what we post and talk about because people can tap into our phones at all times. The government watches what we do and now criminals and foreigners might even be able to see what we say.

One of the videos talks about how what we post on social media is like a tattoo, it is permanent and once you post something you can't take it back. We need to be aware of every social media site we sign up for and what the terms and agreements say. Usually there is something written in fine print saying what exactly we are signing up for. People are able to look us up and find out a lot about us because our accounts aren't really private.

Now, people are concerned that people can wire tap into our information and accounts and steal our identities and find out personal information on us that can ultimately put us in danger. We need to do research and find secure websites and apps where we know are safe and people can't hack into them. We need to find actual privacy so that everything we do and say can't be found and used against us.

Social media and technology are great and should continued to be used, however we need to be more aware of what we are signing up for. We should be able to feel safe on social media and when using our iPhones and we need to bring more awareness to the flaws in media. We need to make technology a more safe and private place where people can enjoy going on.
