Nobody Knows You're a Dog
What more is there to say. On the internet you can be whatever you want or whomever you want to be. Basically this cartoon is saying it's easy to make up your own identity or maybe it is saying that who even cares who you are. You could be someone but there's so many "someones" it really doesn't matter. Ok, now I've just gone and confused myself on this comment.
Facebook:
"Facebook is changing the nature of relationships." I agree but only if we let it. Honestly the people I want to have real relationships with I stay in contact in other ways and spend time with them in other more "natural" ways. I do like facebook to catch up quickly with old friends that may have only been in my life for a short time but I still appreciated that time but if we don't get to see eachother that often I am ok.
Again, facebook can be intrusive if you let it be. If I post pictures I put them up because I want to share them; it would be stupid to put intimate and personal things up on something so public. People can be stupid in how they use the system but how it is used is entirely up to that person.
I honestly think it is silly when people see how many friends they can get on facebook. I laugh when people request to be my friend just because we went to highshool together but we never once spoke two words to each other. I never accept them. Like I said before; I use facebook to keep in contact with people who were actually part of my life.
"Talking is so last year" WHAT?! That is the problem with technology; we're forgetting the important basics of genuine relationships.

JCOM 2160 Reading Two
When Google is Not Your Friend
Honestly, I didn't even know this was a problem or I guess you could say I never realized the problem. Whenever I go to "google" myself it is never me who actually comes up on the search results... UNLESS I am VERY specific with my search. But I can see from this article, this could continue to grow into a problem.
Tug of War Over the Internet
All I have to say on this is, I like my options and if one day I have to choose between one web browser than another then I am going to very annoyed. These resources have always been accessible to us and to take it away and only give it back with a price is just... bleh! I may go to different websites for different reasons. For example; when grocery shopping here in Logan I go to Lee's Marketplace for my basic food items but when I may need other grocery shopping items such as paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. then I may go to Walmart.

JCOM 2160: Assignment 1: Etiquette
Email Etiquette
Goodness, I can barley spell that: e-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e… phew. Just reading the opening paragraph of this reading made me feel guilty. I immediately thought back to all of the emails I procrastinate answering because I may not know the answer or want to have more time to give a full-on reply or maybe I don’t want to seem like a looser that is constantly checking their email. AND THEN, forgetfulness kicks in or is it perfection wrapped up in avoidance. See, if it is an email to a friend it may be easy to write them back but for professional reasons; that is where I see now I have made some big mistakes just because I wanted the email to be just right and so I put it off. I agree with the article; it is important to remain professional when writing emails. It can be so easy to get into a slump and forget to consider grammar and format but I feel like if we get too comfortable then it could lead to an adverse effect on your original intent.
Rules of Netiquette
Ha, nice pun. I like Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life. It has always been interesting to be how easy it is for someone to be outgoing and pouring their life’s soul over instant messaging, text messaging, the internet, etc but when it comes to face-to-face circumstances they remember who they are and seem to abide by social norms. I think it’s important, especially when being professional, to remain professional at all times; even when not faced by the person you may be communicating with. Rule 5 also caught my eye, “Make yourself look good online.” At first this title seems funny and vain but when reading into the rule it makes sense. It is important to write well when on the internet because we are only human and we find mistakes so that we can improve upon ourselves and so you can really hurt yourself by writing poorly on the internet. Honestly, I’m not exactly the greatest writer and it scares me to death to post things on the web. But hey, practice is always good!

With a little education on your side and aggression, anyone can live off of their investment income starting in three years; ten if one is safe but smart about their investments.
