Site Evaluations

http://www.prodeathpentaly.com/ , http://usliberals.about.com/od/deathpenalty/i/DeathPenalty.htm ,and http://www.amnesty.org/en/death-penalty were a reliable sites. The first and third website however were biased but it was stated in their article what they believed and their opinion and gave information to back up their opininons. The second website was not biased, it talked about both the pros and conc of the death pentaly. All these websites gave information on the author and proper credentials.
The last website the, http://kkk.org/ however was not as reliable because for one the home page only had pictures and no words on it so I went to a different part of the website and that was more helpful but still not reliable. The author was not stated and it was very biased. The first three websites were reliable but not the fourth.

Online Safety

In this article it talks about a young teenage girl that was harassed on MySpace by a boy she befriended online who ended up causing her to commit suicide. He ended up telling her that the world would be better without her and they soon found out that the boy was actually a 46 year old mother of a former friend of the victim, Megan. Now her mother goes around talking about the dangers of cyberbullying and always wears a black and white polka dot scarf in memory of her daughter. I thought this was crazy when I first read it because it was a mother that was bullying this little girl and caused her to commit suicide. This could have been prevented if Megan decided not to talk to someone she never met.

Google

Here is what is going to happen when Google makes its' new policy change on March 1st, 2012. Google is going to start collecting data about their users based on their activities on sites such as YouTube and Gmail. Google will start reading your emails and throwing it into it's big pile of data about you. Another difference is you will see more Ad's that Google thinks you might be interested in based on your activity on the Web.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2091508/Google-privacy-policy-Search-giant-know-partner.html In this article it talks about how Google will know you better then people in your everyday life just by keeping track of your searches and learning what your interested in. It will know your whole day just by what you do on your phone and computer. It will know personal matters from your emails also.

I agree with this article that Google is going to know more about us then our husband/wife. Google is going to be able to know where you are at all time if you have an Android phone and it will know when you will be running late and what appointments you have that day. It will remember everything you searched for on the Web and give you Ads and better searches to try and make your experience easier and better.
