On November 1st, class 17 of Comm. 101, I discovered an interesting phenomenon revolving the power which information technology (IT) has. Our guest speaker Carson Woo was giving a great speech on how there is so much information on the web and used an excellent example revolving around a teenager who had information online about her pregnancy before she even announced it. At that moment, I realised that the internet was not deemed as safe as I expected. For example, Mr. Woo presented the topic of “Facebook Places” and “Foursquare”; both social networks enable potential strangers to know where you are located. Another article by Kristen Judge also generate controversy around the idea of the social network and how it can lead to robberies. Judge proposed the idea that a robber can easily know when and where a family is located just by looking at pictures, updated statuses, and Facebook Places. If people don’t put a sign in front of their house stating “out of town,” why post it online? This just increases the chances of robberies and other potential hazards like kidnapping. Although the people you add on social networks are likely friends and most of them are safe, but it is still possible for strangers to surf your information; who likes creepers?
