FACEBOOK: I have a good number of social media websites that I visit often, Facebook being one of them. Looking at the privacy settings there's really not a lot to control but there's more than others. I can choose whether or not I want everyone to see my post or only friends. I can control my profile and just how much I want to answer to be public like birthday, phone number, email. and so forth. I can also choose who I want to have access to looking me up but only choices between friends, friends of friends, or everyone, what about no one? I think there are a lot that you have control over but there's a lot more than you can control.

INSTAGRAM: As soon as I typed instagram it popped up with my account as a option without even having to log in. Yes i'm sure it did that simply because it recognized the email from the other tabs I had open but to me that's saying that if someone knew my email then they had access to my accounts and that to me does not seem like much privacy. Instagram does not gives much access to privacy. You can change whether or not you have access to your account, see who follows and unfollowed  you, track followers that you follow and don't follow you back. That to me is not as important as people seeing what you put or hacking into your account.

GMAIL: I couldn't really find much about the privacy settings except for how many times you've signed in from a computer or phone, the time and date, and any device that you have used to create the account with or log in with stays on your account. I feel this has the worst privacy settings simply because there aren't many options.

TWITTER: It warns you that anything you tweet can be seen by anyone whether you want them to or not. Also it asks you if you want to stay logged in, to send a message to your phone when you're being logged in, also an option to provide personal info in order to reset your password, who can tag you in certain photos, if you want what you tweet for everyone to see, or add a location so people can know where you are. I think twitter has the best privacy settings because it offers a lot of options but it's up to us to agree to them.

The topic of our project is Digital Privacy and how much privacy does social network actually allow us to have. Our group includes Emerlly Pineda, Cody Ide, and Ashley Carter. Cody will play the role of the speaker so he will do most of talking when presenting. Ashley will play the role of finding information for our topic so basically doing research. Emerlly will play the role of creating the prezi and how it will look. However, we are a group which means we will all pitch in to help one another based on all the requirements needed. We are researching how much privacy do we actually have when clicking accept to different terms and policies. Also how do you know what exactly are you agreeing too and how far back will it go when getting your information. For example, twitter, instagram, snapchat, and other social networks require our location after getting an app. Yes it's true, we have a decision whether or not we click agree but is it right? Location to them may be simple but depending on who's watching what we agree too may encounter some major problems. For example, kidnappers, murders, and other unnecessary things. As a group we plan to use the internet of course, articles, blogs, and reviews from other people as our resources. This is a topic most people probably think about but never go into detail on finding answers and we plan to find some.

The name of this book is called Bound to Rise and i have never heard of it but it can be read on Kindle, Html, and plain text as well.
I have two blog posts listed but i'm more interested in Deadspin which really relates to the sports and talk about whats going on. I read a article about Michael Vick admitting he wasn't prepared when playing in the game that they lost in and that he did not take it seriously. Some feel he should not have been so open and honesty while others think he's a bad person now but hey, its media and anything you say will be made into something bigger than what it really should be. I also read an short article and watched a quick video about a high school football that supposed to be so good but what everyone ended up talking about was how bad the tackles were on the opposing team. So my question is... How good is the team actually?

          I found both the video and the article interesting simply because it amazes me how they can play games for a living when over here that is all people want to do for free. However, it did say they have fun but they also get paid for it, not that it is much. I read they get paid 30 cents a hour in American money. To me that is not a lot of money but I would guess things are cheaper there for that amount. Also they mentioned eBay as a source of money but not a lot of them did it because it was a lot of trouble or they did not have certain information. They really depend on American kids playing games and upgrading so they can make more money. They prefer american money over theirs because the value is worth more and hey who wouldn't want that?
