The session began with Dave Cormier, and I thought that he was right about saying “don´t put something on the internet that your mom won´t be proud of,” or this is what I think he said. Going back, a person can´t hide behind a nickname, somehow he or she will be caught doing bad things (and regret it). We have to think twice before opening the mouth, and it applies the same on SNS. I think that people will make less mistakes on the web by reading twice before posting (not just writting anything instantly).
As side story: I wanted to discuss with him about people posting pictures and videos of other without asking their permission; because I consider it very rude. It is kind a serious problem because people just record with their smartphones persons that are drunk (for example) and upload a video that would turn out to an embarrassing moment for that drunk person. Any way, I was too shy and with no courage to ask.
Also during the session, we saw several videos and the one that I thought it was very interesting is the use of false identities to protect myself. It was a talk of Pernille Tranberg and the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRrgD-4-D8s&feature=youtu.be
I consider my private life very important, and I will be very annoyed to know that someone that I don´t like or don´t know actually knows me and even worse my families and friends. I would feel very threatened because he or she knows too much about me and could use it against me or in a bad way. So I think that a smart thing to do is to take care about what you upload to the internet (not just put all your personal information in the SNS), or even use a false identity (well, at least use a nickname).
Besides of watching videos, we created blogs. I would have loved to use Naver´s but the website was available just in Korean. At first, Word Press was kind of uncomfortable; but later on I just eliminated all the stuff that I didn´t need and then it was very easy to use. I took most of the class changing the theme because I am a little obsessed with the design. It happened when I had a blog on Naver, I just changed and changed the themes until I found the design that I wanted, but I had a lot of fun (creating groups, pages, and blogs; I like to manage them).
Tomorrow we will going to have new guests, and one of them is Laura Gogia and her webpage link is http://lauragogia.com/
I think that she is pretty cool, a webpage full of educational and healthy information (also with a nice design). I would like to ask her about the way to handle the antis (what I mean is people who write bad comments or send very rude messages without any logical reason); but I am too shy!
As conclusion, we have to keep the manners on the internet too, just a coward will think that no one won´t know about the mean things that he or she has done ont the internet.
