We talked in my ICT class about internet safety and things people put on the internet that they shouldn't and so on.  I'm not a huge social networking fan, because I'm the type of person who enjoys face-to-face interaction with people and eating their food with them rather than talking to them over a wire and looking at their food pictures.  On the contrary, I do have a Facebook account, and I hate myself for the amount of time I waste on it.  On that note, I am going to simply scroll down my news feed, and see if there is anything I think should not be posted on there, or is unsafe, or simply annoys me.

Pictures of babies.  Not a fan of this.  Disagree with me if you want, but I personally don't like the idea of kids basically being born online, with absolutely no choice of whether they want to be shared with the cyber world or not.

Oh, a close up of someone's cat!  No, I secretly love cat pictures. 

Someone's got their new phone number posted.  Not really a big deal, but I have no idea who the person is and I can see it, so I wonder what this person would think if I started texting them....    I'm not actually going to but just a thought.

A picture of two people clearly inebriated.  Can't say much about that, just don't let your boss or mother see it.

Another cat... cute

Someone saying they purchased an item fairly inappropriate for Facebook... assuming this person left his Facebook open.  Always a bad idea.

Someone with a status about being drunk.

Couple drug references.

A bunch of game requests and adds.  There's nothing unsafe about these but THEY DRIVE ME NUTS!  i DON'T PLAY YOUR FACEBOOK GAMES LEAVE ME ALONE!

Spiteful post about someone; probably an ex.  Can't say that to their face.

And then just typical cursing and pictures of Miley Cyrus.

I feel like I failed today, as usually my News Feed is full of a lot more unsafe or annoying posts, but today it was almost entirely adds and people posting pictures from Instagram or whatever that have different sayings and stuff on them.   Oh well, I'm sure my point got across.  Hope you enjoyed!
