Facebook Privacy

Facebook. The number one hacked website in the world. Is what you put on Facebook private? Should it be? how private do you want it to be? I think that the problem isn't with Facebook. I think the problem is with its users. People should learn, the term world-wide-web should be considered. The term implies that the world-wide-web is for connecting all computers together. In my opinion, if you don't want people to know what you put on your Facebook, don't put it on there. It could inflict upon your personal employment in the future. As of now, employers are fully in their rights to make you give them your full Facebook name, and password. They also are allowed to view all personal information that you put online. That being said, I am in favor of either not having a Facebook, or not having anything on there for anyone to see.

Pintrest, Evernote, and Live Binders

Pintrest is a website that you can follow different boards of information or topic. Mostly it is filled with useful information on things women are about. Zac Efron, nails, abs, etc. It isn't all that usefull to me, but maby I'll find a use for it. Evernote is useful for making digital post-it notes and lists. I think that it is kinda useless, considering that it could take longer to get on your computer, get on the internet, log in, type out everything for one note, and post it to the internet. It would be quicker for me to just write it out. But I'm kinda old school. I prefer pieces of paper to internet. And I can take it with me. Livebinder is a website that is used to organize papers and post-it notes. It is another way to organize digital papers. Personally. I prefer to go the old-school route and just have a milk crate with files. Unusual fact: Milk crates were designed to have a small plastic lip on the inside of the rim for putting files inside. It is one of the most effective ways of storing files in my opinion. And it just kinda looks cool. All in all, the three websites are good ideas, and usefull to the right people, but not to me.
