Privacy

 Online Privacy



Online privacy has become a big topic over the past couple of years because of the growth of social media. Almost all information that gets put online by you can be seen or distributed even though you thought you were protecting your info. This is a very scary thing because you never know what could happen to your online info. This could affect my family and I because much of our information and cards could be traced and have money taken away from us. Many people can't afford to have any money taken from them to help provide for their families. This is why online privacy is so important. Not only can your info be taken but personal info could be found and things about you could go public that you don't want people to know. 

So what could the government do to help stop this? The government could make it illegal to track or look up others' information. Because as of now some of the biggest companies in the world can look up all the info they want and will have no consequences about their actions. This is horrible because they sell our info to other companies so they can advertise or promote certain things in your interest. The government should make it a felony to look up other info online as an invasion of privacy because this info is private. What we can do is be very cautious about what we put out online and who we put it out to. You never know someone's intentions and who they really are. Overall online privacy is a huge topic rn and should be taken very seriously.

  Relationship with Technology Throughout my life technology has always been around. It's crazy to think in my life span that technology has always been there, talking with my parents about technology they always talk about the things they would have to do because the technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. But now technology is so advanced that living life itself is so different that everything we interact with technology is there. This means that everyday life is always interacting with technology. Is my everyday life relationship with technology healthy or unhealthy? I would say my relationship is right in the middle. Somedays I use technology very minimally and some days I use it a lot. But the biggest negative I have in the relationship is a distraction. Usually, when I'm doing work my phone or computer will be very close to me and I could be halfway through my assignment and I will get a text or a snap or notification for a social media post. I will check the noti

      In the mainstream media it is very hard to see anything about anti war or anything that isn't exactly promoted or co-signed by the government. It almost seems that you have to go outta your way and seek out this information on your own. These websites such as Antiwar.com and the American Conservative are rare to find in google searches and many platforms because it goes against the American norm even though it’s their right to talk about this and educate others about what they are feeling. I believe you have to seek out these websites because the military doesn't want the everyday person to hear negative things about the military because they want it to keep its reputation and strong representation to the public. Being honest before having to look at these sites for class I have never heard or seen of these websites before. Which ultimately makes me think that the military and government doesn't want this kind of negativity towards them on the internet for the whole p
