"A few weeks ago I was over at my Aunt and Uncle's place helping them re-jailbreak a first generation iphone I had bought for them in Augusta last spring.

This video tells a different perspective on befriending on Facebook. He talks about how if you just add people that you don't know it can be dangerous. There have be people who befriend a person they didn't really know and that person ended up tracking them down and breaking into their house and robbing them. The man on this video also talks about how the police are trying to befriend people posing as someone else to catch underage drinking. They are pretending to be a cute girl or guy to find drinking pictures and tracking those people down and arresting them. The main idea of the video is to make people aware that you need to be careful who you let be your friend.

I am the director of technology at the American School of Warsaw. I am committed to strengthening, deepening and broadening student learning through technology. I honestly believe HOW we teach is far more important than WHAT we use to teach. I am a technology skeptic and a technology evangelist.

I found that this video could be directly related back to the concept of using your "exterior brain" Crowd-sourcing is the act of giving a task to an outside group of people...such as Wikipedia. It thinks for you!
