The internet can be very fascinating, but if you misuse it, you can face very big problems! For example, a flight attendant Ellen Simonetti was fired from the airline she worked for because apparently, she was putting on her blog some pictures of her in the company's uniform. Another example was Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Marverikcks, was fined for criticizing NBA officials in 2006 on his blog. On the internet, it can be fun and games, but on forums blogs, or even chat rooms, you must be extremly careful.
Here are some links to articles related to the internet:

Kenny, good work on this. Can you use some links to show where you got your information from. For example, you may wish to turn "Ellen Simonetti" into a link to an article with information on the case.
ReplyDeleteTry to remember this blog is formal, so avoid talking to your audience, such as "watch those fingers of yours". This is very nice writing, and would be great in a more social blog, but the purpose here is academic.
Keep up the good work.
This is good and very interesting. It is good that you put links.
