Google Latitude is a new device that lets you find the location of others. Now you can do things like always literally know where your children are, find out if your husband is having an affair, and just plain stalking people.
I think this is an invasion to our privacy. Now we have to live our lives with the thought that we might be being watched. For teens who just want to get away from their parents this is a disaster. This is a dream creation for stalkers, pedofiles, and them parents who must know where their children are, at all times.
Facebook is a great creation. It is fun and exciting. But howerever it has its downs. In facebook it is very easy to discriminate others. Others can post pictures of you, without you even knowing. Just recently facebook changed the fineprint declaring that they own the pictures that you post. Due to many complaints facebook has changed the fineprint back…for now.
Images that are posted of me on the interent will always be there for others to view. Even if they are deleted by me, it will still be there somewhere. This really invades my privacy. It is a picture of me, therfore i should decide what happens to it.
I think that people who are going to be intervied should not be searched on the internet. I think this because on the internet it could show many bad things about that person. It is not fair. People should be intervied in person.
