Sample Blog Post on 1984

This would be something that I'd like to see from you for your "Blended Section" of 1984:

Last school year I wrote this comment:

Of course, I also see media people using Facebook to illustrate “just how awful I am”, or share pictures with even more people, without my permission, really. It’s kind of scary how public private information has become.

I'm thinking this is the idea that I go with for this blog post. I've spent my time in the last few months reading and thinking about Facebook - how there really isn't any time or place for privacy anymore. We learn things in the open:



now, in the above example, this is rather a small thing. But what if someone in my class put it out on Facebook that they were studying 1984? If they get a crowd sourced answer and submit it as their own... does that make it cheating?

And what of people, especially teachers being "Mobbed"? What of people putting silly comments online and being fired for them? And it just isn't Facebook anymore. It can be Youtube, twitter ... just about anywhere.

Well, common sense needs to be employed at all times, man. Simple as that. I know people want to get their silliness out there. But just remember that what ever thing you post today, your grandchildren will be able to Google search twenty years from now.
