Digital Footprints

I knew some of the information about how we leave cookies on the computer we use when we search and everything but i didn't know how much company's for jobs are starting to look into them. We need to start finding more ways to be able to privately browse and keep our information way from people we don't want having it. When i go home today i'm going to delete my cookies and start using the private browsing option. To find out that the footprints we leave behind are bigger than what i have already known about is a big reality check for me and soon my parents. I'm glad we have found some ways at least to start protecting our information that is left behind on our computers. But we need to find out more ways to cover everything we don't want out there for others to see.

The Supreme Court Privacy Ruling google alert

   This alert talks about how the supreme court ruled that it is an invasion of your privacy if the police attach a GPS tracker to your vehicle. Quoting from the alert, the court "ruled unanimously that doing so is a search, meaning that it must pass muster under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution." They bring up a good point of it might be pointing out about how it might also show the court’s thoughts about what counts as a trespass on your privacy.The alert then goes into talking about the supreme court case of Jones. I like the supreme court ruling about this. In my own opinion i think it's an invasion of privacy. If you want to read it, i put the link below.

This class so far.

This class so far is interesting. My siblings and I really like computers and I am the least smart one bout them.  Hopefully, this class will change that. The diigo bar is something new tht I have never heard of and it is helpful. I don't think I'll be using it outside this class until college though because I don't usually bookmark things. I enjoy getting to learn about new things that are on the computer and how to use them. I really like any editing software or websites that allow you to edit, and design things. Like at my old school in Paola I learned how to build a website from scratch with the software my teacher had. I also really like editing photos with Photoshop and using a video maker to create and edit videos. If i get to learn more things about those main subjects I would like this class even more.

Digital Nation

  I think that the video was interesting. I am not really into the whole gaming aspect. The idea of all this technology being so advanced is amazing.Teaching kids from young ages will be more likely to introduce new technology quicker and technology will be coming more rapidly and more advanced quicker. The idea that the human brain is able to actually multitask so much and be so easily distracted is complex but also interesting to learn about. I liked the video. It gave me more of an idea of how the world's technology is changing and how quickly it's increasing.
