ReplyDeletePersonally, I found the infographic the most informative. This is because the images and graphics helped me to understand what was going on. I would rather read a graphic than an article any day. Privacy on the internet is an issue that affects everyone, because you can find anything on the internet. People can literally track you down on the internet. I don't think that companies should be able to create profiles or track you, because I think that if someone wants a product they will find it. you don't have to force it on them. Personally, I don't mind when companies try to send me information on their products, because I will just delete it. I don't plan on doing anything about it, because like I said earlier, if I want a product I will find it myself.
ReplyDeleteOut of the four different resources, I found the infograph most informative because it's layout was the most interesting. I find a graph easier to read than an article. Privacy is a major issue on the internet that effects everyone. Our privacy is slowly, but surely decreasing. I believe that it is very wrong for companies to be able to track us, but I'm not going to do anything about it. In the future, I will probably erase my search history like advised.
ReplyDeletePrivacy on the Internet is a big issue for everyone because you have no Privacy it doesn't matter what you on the internet there is someone out there that can see everything you do online. There are also people who can go online and see all your personal information like your address and all that kinda information.I plan on taking Plenty of actions to protect my privacy online in the future I want to try everything I can to be safe and think smart while online. While im online i will not go to anything that pops up or anything and will not put my Personal information online whether its on Facebook or anything because people can see all your personal information on Facebook also there's just no privacy online so don't put anything on their that you don't wont others to see point blank.
ReplyDeleteI also found the Infograph most informative because it had more details and a whole lot easier to comprehend to me.
ReplyDeleteI found the Facebook resource the most informative because the company advise people to clear their search history. Privacy effects people when they didn't log off their page because it causes searchers to learn about that person's personal information. I don't have a Facebook page, but I do have a G-mail. I will block out any type of information from the company or a fraud.
ReplyDelete1. The one about twitter because it gave some well needed info about how our privacy is well guarded. And DNT is a great thing to have to stop the unwanted trackers their are.
ReplyDelete2. Because whatever we do on the internet or whatever we type can be seen by someone who owns that computer or anyone else who is following you.
3. To keep everything private,log out of all things involving social media, and don't pu tanything on the internet i don't want people to know.
Personally, It is found the infographic the most informative. This is because the images and graphics helped us understand what has been going on.
ReplyDelete1. Which one of these resources did you find the most informative, and why? I found the infograph most informative because the pictures help me understand more, I belive a graph can show you more than a article.
ReplyDelete2. Why is privacy on the internet an issue that effects everyone? Because, whatever you look up, type in, or do on the internet can be seen by someone. People should be able to have their privacy on their on interest of the internet.
3. What actions do you plan on taking to protect your privacy online in the future? To make sure I log off of my accounts such as Facebook, twitter, g mail, etc.
An other way I could protect my privacy is to clear my history, just encase someone wont's to go behind me and see what i was doing or looking up.
1- The one about twitter because it gave some very useful information about how our privacy is well protected. DNT is a great thing to have to stop the unwanted trackers their are.

3- Theres alot of things you can do keep your privacy safe.One, log out of everything you do after your done on it. Second, try to keep personal things you don't want other people to off the internet.
I found the infograph the most interesting. It is very informative and draws your attention by the way it is laid out. Internet privacy is an issue to everyone because in today's time almost everyone uses the internet. I will probably install the "Do Not Track" feature in my browser when it becomes available.
ReplyDeleteThe infograph was the easiest to keep up with to me, making it more informative than the other articles. This is because of the graphs and visual aid it provided. Privacy on the internet is an issue that affects everyone because you can learn anything about a person on the internet. This is because our privacy on the internet is almost gone. People can track anything you do or say on the internet and learn more about you than you ever thought possible. It's a scary thought. I don't plan on doing much, but I will be careful what I put on the internet and start deleting any search history.

ReplyDeleteThe infograph is informative because it can stop people from hacking into your privacy. I believe we need to all protect our privacy.
ReplyDeleteThe infographic was the most explanatory. The pictures and graphs were easier to understand rather than just words on a screen.
ReplyDeletePrivacy is an issue that effects everyone because everyone can see what we put on the internet and can use it in very harmful ways. Also, not everyone is aware of how to take better precautions of their privacy on the internet. This makes everyone more vulnerable to the likelihood of someone getting into their personal stuff. In the future I'll be more aware of what I put on the internet, what websites I use, and what information I give.
The infograph is the the most interesting one it makes more informative than the other articles that i looked at internet privacy is starting to be a big issue t me and everybody else because people can get your address and your cell number

ReplyDeleteI liked the infograph the most. It was the easiest to follow and it was intresting. When it comes up I will most like install the do not track feature. We don't have much privacy anymore and we should at least have some if this is all you can get.
ReplyDeleteI found the infograph the most interesting and informative. I feel that a graph is a lot easier to read than an article. You get straight to the point verses articles where you may not understand it. Privacy is a big issue on the Internet, because not everyone knows about privacy issues.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite was the infograph.It was the easiest to understand and keep up with and it was the most interesting to me. Privay on the internet is decreasing and this effects everyone is some way. People are finding stuff out about people that should be kept to yourself. There are many things you can do to keep your privacy on the internet. You could log out of everything your in and don't put any personal things on the internet. I will keep this in mind when I am on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI think the infograph is the most informational to me because it give percents and averages about many topic on protection and it's more better to understand what they trying to say. Then privacy issue for everyone is their giving other people their password or giving to much information about their self and also people can see what you post about yourself. In the future I plan to make an online privacy website that only people only can accecpt people that you know .
