Chapter 3 and 4 Response:

            These two chapters are about safety and the etiquette that concerns how we use blogs and social media and information that is posted. Safety first, because we post so much information and knowledge about ourselves that many people, especially the young do not realize the danger that lurks out there. We have to be very careful about what is posted at and acknowledged online that concerns us as bloggers and as users of social media. All we need is one criminal to access the right file and be of the track us and access our bank or any other part of our lives that could have far-reaching effects. Many people do not realize that by posting very personal information that allows people to locate and find us if they want to do us harm. A simple picture can give them a location by recognizing something in the background. Then they can stake out that area and see if it's a common location you frequent go to. If it is now a have a way of tracking and finding you for whatever devilish plan they have. All it takes is a street sign in or sign of the business in the background that gives it all away. Once they located you then they proceed with their plan of action whatever may be. This is some of the discussion that goes on in security classes when you start working for states Texas Department of criminal Justice. I was just a teacher but I still had to sit through and learn everything in their two weeks of security and safety training. I was only a teacher but we still have to go through all the security and safety training for all aspects of possible threats to our families and ourselves because of the work we did.

            The second part of the two chapters is how we use what we learn in the proper etiquette and processes and rules that we should follow. The basic concept is we treat everyone fairly equal we do not cause undue harm to another person because of a post we have done or we do not interfere with other people in such a fashion that a is hostile or aggressive in any way. We must respect our fellow bloggers and readers with all due respect and care as we should extend to any person that we have any kind of interaction with in normal life.

            Always remember safety first, learning second, and enjoy all the knowledge we can receive in the technology enriched world we live in.
