This week in class I learned how to put script into a text widget. Basically I created a character online at voki.com and copied the javascript to be pasted into my text widget. My hipster friend was then added to my page as a welcome buddy.
Later on this week I read an article on online predators and how people believe that giving teens full useage of the internet will actually give them skills in protecting themselves. I agreed with that because, if you keep hiding teens from the world, I believe that will only hurt them in the long run.
Even later this week I read another article on a youtube incident when eight girls invited this one girl to their house and them proceeded to beat her while filming it so they could put it on youtube for all to see. The point I withdrew from the article was does youtube give kids a reason to break the law just to become famous. I agreed that it actually does because there are too many immature teens out there who will do almost anything just to receive some kind of recognition. The article then read that youtube would be filtering its content. I also agreed with that as being a good idea because if the teens know their video won’t be played then maybe they won’t even try to do something stupid.
