a pretty good video re personal profiles and reputations. Unfortunately for an Aussie audience the sport is baseball, and maybe our rugby players and crickteers sully their reps in person rather than online..., but see what you think

A young man relays his experience with negative consequences of online reputations.

"people in their 20s exert more control over their digital reputations than older adults, more vigorously deleting unwanted posts and limiting information about themselves."

Good article to balance the hysteria and myths that us oldies know what's up and the kids aren't informed.

It is good news about the older teenagers, and those in their 20's however as noted in the article "Younger teenagers were not included in these studies, and they may not have the same privacy concerns. But anecdotal evidence suggests that many of them have not had enough experience to understand the downside to oversharing". These kids need to be our target audience when talking about cybersafety etc, as like with many other facets of a teenagers life, they don't necessarily have the "fear factor" and understand the long term risks.
