In the Web Means, the end of Forgetting touched on the Internet of the past. Of course, in 2016, you have to be way more careful what you post, but there are better privacy laws and setting to help protect your profile. But a person still has to be careful what they post. The beginning of this month Kim K posted a nude photo on Instagram and the Internet blow up; some people congratulated her courage; others told her that she should think about her kids before she does stupid stuff like that, and others slut-shamed her. With putting yourself out there like that, it brings in a world of opinions that people are not ready to hear or read.
In the Great Wall of Facebook: The Social Network’s Plan to Donate to Internet and keep Google Out tells use out right that battle with Facebook and Google. Both companies are at war with each other for the who has the most followers and users. I find that if both companies are competing for our attention let’s give them our attention as well as give them a list of the problem that they should troubleshoot. Google and Facebook have been at each other’s throats for a long time, even today they are still fighting. The evidence is Google +, really who uses google plus.
What I feel in the digital age social media is important to everyone because it keeps us all connected and up to date. Social media is so important there are even games about becoming an internet star. The Kendell and Kylie game are one of those games; you start as a person working in a salon to meeting the Jenner sisters and your life sky rocks to fame and the more followers you get, the more the world opens up to you.

Hi Sasha,
Great Work. Technically, I know whatever item posted online cannot be erase; it stays there. I agree with you that especially the youth should be mindful whatever they post especially on social media like Facebook. It may bounce back and hurt them in the future.
