Privacy and Enhanced Personalization.

To me privacy seems to be an issue when it comes to social media. I feel that even though you believe not everyone can see your stuff, they always can. I remember going to this meeting once and the person telling me that they could pull up all of our old posts even if they had been deleted. That blew my mind that they could still access all that information even though I had deleted it. I also feel that if you have an issue with privacy then you should not have a social media account. That is the point of social media to share information with the people around you. Someone is always going to see the things you post, so why not make sure you are ok with them. Most of my account that I have are on private which I like because I know only my friends can access them. Take instagram for example, I would not want some old creepy man looking at my account. That is why I have the private setting on it. I like knowing that I have to accept the person before they can even access my account. In what ways do you think privacy helps social media? Do you think that all of your information is actually private?

Downloading Music

Downloading music online has become a very serious issue in society today. Everywhere you look someone is downloading illegally, and the artist is losing that money. With that said I believe that the prices should be lowered in order to make people happier. I know I hate paying a dollar for every song rather than downloading it for free. I think that if the songs were 50 cents it might make a big difference. I also believe that there should be stricter sites on monitoring illegal downloads. That if someone is accessing a site that is illegal it should notify the authorities, and then they can handle the situation. The best idea I have for the solution would be creating a site where you have to pay a monthly fee, and you can then access all of these downloads. It would be like a Netflix 2.0. You could watch all the current movies that are out and be up to date on all the new music. I think that this would help a lot on illegal downloading because everyone uses Netflix why not enhance the product to eliminate the problem.
