I am astounded on the worth of Facebook and its quick yet precise evolution in the past couple of years. Mark Zuckenberg is in every way a genius! While reading the Rolling Stone article, I was quickly reminded of Little Brother. Zuckenberg reminded me so much of Marcus. They both had a gift when it came to technology and no matter how many limitations were bestowed upon them, they were able to conquer with their knowledge of coding. The empire of Facebook is remarkable, but to be honest while reading the article it amazes me how by signing up for website, I am taking part in making someone across the United States a billionaire.
As a future educator and being apart of the digital era, it is vital for us to remember that once information is shared over the Internet, it becomes public. There are many different ways that your information can be accessed and ultimately used against you. Modesty in technology is important and this is something that we should be sharing with our middle and high school students. Social-Networking is an amazing tool of communication and entertainment, but it can also have its negative affects. One of the questions that I have been back and forth with in my mind is "At what age is social-networking appropriate?"
