Understanding the Implications of Technology

Today I would like to touch upon something that I have not have the chance to brush on yet. That is the long term effects of what is posted online. While this is not necessarily terrible, it can lead to a lot of trouble if the teenager in question is unaware of the consequences. As many know, it is important to be careful with what is being posted to social media outlets and blog websites.

Unfortunately for some teenagers, it does not cross their mind that posting pictures and videos of a wild and crazy weekend could come back to haunt them. If a potential employer or academic counselor was able to see what is being posted, teenagers could lose their job or their respectability. It is important to teach children between the ages of 13 to 18 years of age that what they post online is permanent and can not be deleted. Keeping their posts and blogs respectable looks good on the person in question, and it also gives respectability to the viewer of the page/blog. I just wanted to post my thoughts on the importance of teaching social media etiquette, and the importance of maintaining it. Until next time!
