It's Confirmed: Driving's a Full-Time Job - How Texting Impairs Driving Performance - T... - 2 views

  •  
    The study consisted of three major steps. First, participants typed a story of their choice (usually a simple fairy tale) and also read and answered questions related to another story, both on their smart phone in a laboratory setting. They were trying to prove that texting while driving impairs your ability.
  •  
    Researchers and safety advocates have known for years that driving performance worsens when the driver is texting. Now we know just how much worse. Federal statistics suggest that distracted driving contributes to as much as 20 percent of all fatal crashes, and that cell phones constitute the primary source of driver distraction.

How to handle a cyberstalker - CNN.com - 11 views

  • At Northwestern University, "Lauren Cohn" racked up 143 friends -- none of whom knew who she was. While we're not certain the school was involved in the fabrication, that's beside the point -- 143 people just let this chick into their social circles.
  • Still, take a gander at novelty apps like "Open Book," which allows you to search others' unprotected status updates for potentially incriminating info (I looked, and no, I would rather not know about the hot oral sex you had this a.m.),
  • cyberstalking thusly: "A course of conduct (more than one incident) that uses technology to track, intimidate, harass, threaten or scare victims." That could mean harassing you online or even using the internet to gather info that can be used for physical stalking.
  •  
    Great article about the different levels of cyberstalking and privacy concerns.
  •  
    These people are putting themselves in danger without even knowing it. These things eventually lead to cyberbullying.

    People should think wat they put before the go to far with it.

Facebook keeps 'deleted' user photos for years - 13 views

  • Even if you delete incriminating photos on your Facebook profile, the company is keeping them accessible to anyone online for up to 30 months.

      woahhhhh that seems really creepy. i dont think that is right for a company to have a deleted photo of you for 30 months. if you delete it, then you delete it for a reason, not so even more people that are in a company to see you doing something that you thought people to see but then relized it was stupid to put this on in the first place.
  •  
    This article points out that up to 30 months after photos are deleted from Facebook that they are still there. If someone has the direct URL to a photo, it is still accessible. Students should be taught about this and we should educate ourselves as well. Once something is uploaded it is out there. Period. You cannot take it back.

  • Experts agree that the best way to address cyberbullying and online threats is to immediately communicate the incident with an adult, as well as document what the threat is.

      I think that every internet browser should have an easy, built in way to take a screen shot and send it to someone. We need this for many safety reasons. It is to protect those who need it most and are often the most technically challenged.
  • A text and email message immediately notifies pre-specified recipients of the online threat - assuring rapid communication between adults and children.

  • CyberBully Alert gives parents the security of immediately being there for their kids when a threat occurs—whether they are at work, in a meeting, on the road, or simply in another room.

  •  
    New software that allows children to document and report harmful harrassment online. I would love to test this tool, I find it very interesting. I think this kind of thing is good, but never replaces a parent talking to a child. However, if there is nothing that "can be done" because local laws and others have no method of dealing with it, then I don't know if it will breed frustration. I think every computer should have an easy way to grab screenshots like my fireshot program in firefox. I think this should be part of every web browser.
