Thesis

Social networking does not necesserily rid the user or public of privacy beacause we are the ones that choose to put the information on there, some websites do not give out information as much as others, and ultimately it is our choice if we want our private information displayed or not.

YouTube is a popular website that is used to view and post videos. you can virturally view any type of video wheather its simply a music video or how to install speakers in your car. this website has a section for most viewed videos, what people are viewing now, featured videos, and rising videos. what is most impressive is that YouTube memorize the type of videos you watch and search for, and based on that it automatically recammends videos for you to watch. Youtube is used by clicking on the search button and typing in the type of video you want to watch. it is very simple to use. Anyone who has access to the internet can use youtube. all the videos are free to view. youtube can be viewed as a major video sharing website, much like limewire except this is not illegal. Youtube can be very useful because it can help you out with almost any question you have. youtube can show you how to drive a motorcycle, change a flat tire, jumstart your car, or how to make a great bbq. it is a website that can help anyone no matter the age or gender. some information is apparent about the user such as the day they jonied youtube, last time they signed in, and how many videos they watched but it's not anything too personal or private.

Ad Nation

"Ad Nation" describes why ads are a bad thing. They believe that ads brainwash people, and give people the mentality that a city could not be a city without ads. Ads have made historical monuments and figures seem bland and boring compared to all the new hi tech billboards.

Brain Storming Technology

Technology is a term used for the advancement in our society.

A computer best represents technology.

I believe it is a mixture of ourselves, the government, and private tech companies.

When I lose control of my personal information, all privacy is lost which can lead to worse things such as identity theft.
