WEBSITES THAT **WILL** MAKE YOU LOOK AT SOCIAL MEDIA DIFFERENTLY! YOU WILL **THINK** TWICE ABOUT WHAT YOU **POST**! - You can’t hide anything Facebook goes through your messages and keeps everything that you post, write, share, and send. - Article talks about how badly invasion of privacy/social media gets. There are many people in this world who like to stalk and in this article. The person in this article stalked a lady and found out every single thing about her. address, social security number, family members. He ended up tracking her and killing her, right after he committed suicide. This shows how scary a couple things can lead up to. - This article is a comparison to the first video that is shown on my topic. Social Media is used in many different ways and people use it for different occasions. When people post things they are obviously not going to be private. If you have social media many people can see it. For Example, Facebook is used to connect with friends. When you post things on Facebook they're for people you are friends with. THAT IS FALSE. If you're not on private then anyone can see it. Social Media gives you the option to make yourself private or public. In the Social Media Experiments videos above, show that all their content used is from people who are public on Social Media.

[|__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ0YPDYx6l__] This is a video from NBC News that is talking about the microchip. They talk about how in the future the microchip will be able to know everything about us, which is a blatant violation of privacy. They give the year 2017, which is right around the corner. This shows how fast the world is technologically changing. [|__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESN7Khz2n1I__] This is a radio segment by Alex Jones and he talks about the ways that the government wants to microchip us. He says that the government is saying that getting the microchip is really for your protection and they can always have you under surveillance, but he thinks it is an invasion of you privacy. __ [] __ A news article about how the microchip tracking on a college ground is an invasion of privacy. They say that these microchips have GPS's in them, and they can track where the person with the chip is. They do not have the right to do this, and it is none of their business where we are. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread977888/pg1 This link goes to a forum where people debate the video seen earlier about the microchip. We get to take a look at other people's opinions. All of the opinions basically say the same thing, and that is that the microchipping agenda is a huge invasion of privacy.

This article in the Washington post, talks about the NSA(National Security Agency) program called “PRISM”. Around last year, journalist Edward Snowden, found out the information of what PRISM was all about. He leaked the information in a power point, and had everyone in a frenzy. We don’t know what's real and what's fake, but we as americans have a tendency to always believe in what we read on the internet. For those of you who are not familiar with PRISM, which Im sure most of you are not. People basically interpreted as a program that access’ into your internet servers such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc., and spies on you everyday. It really gave people the feeling that they have no privacy. In the article, it gives quotes from representatives such as Mark Zuckerberg about how they are not allowing the government to access into their servers for spying on everyone in the world. However, these companies have at one time or another allowed the government into their servers, but only for a specific person the government was worried about.

It is titled Clay Folden, because the segment is about Clay Folden, a photographer, who uses drones to take pictures. A video is also attached showing his flight. This is very cool, but just shows how easy it is to create a quadcopter, and then attach a camera to it. Clay Folden is using a factory made type of quadcopter, basically a very small helicopter, which probably runs off battery, and has a high tech camera attached, along with a large reciver, and probably a few smaller cameras to help with flying the quadcopter.
