The Internet and You

Posted by Mariano Mattei on
​First Slide-
This slide is about you future because the photos you post can make a job interview harder to get.
Second Slide-
This slide is about friendship because if you post a photo of your friend that you think is funny, they could think it is mean and you could start to fight.
Third Slide-
The most important rule online is to think about what you post before you post it. You should think about who is going to see the photo because if you post a picture of you drinking, and your family sees it, you will get in trouble.

Newton’s Laws of Motion

  • Newton’s First Law: Every object moves in a straight line unless another force is applied 

  • We are going to focus on Newton's laws and forces with Septa.


What exactly is a System Schema? For those who may not know what a system schema is, it is an outline or diagram showing how objects interact with the system. 
What is a free body diagram? A free body diagram are diagrams used to show all the forces acting upon an object.
Screenshot 2015-12-08 at 8.58.27 AM.png
The system schema above, shows our scenario and how the systems are interacting with the objects/people. As seen above, Gravity is a force for all 4 objects. Human, handle, Earth, and the actual septa bus. A human standing on the bus while the bus is in place, starting from a complete stop, turning a right corner, turning a left corner, and coming back to a complete stop.

Screenshot 2015-12-09 at 10.00.53 AM.png Screenshot 2015-12-09 at 10.20.09 AM.png

This free body diagram and system schema above are both showings, of the exact same scenario. This is what it'll looks like before the bus is moving. A human standing on the bus, no motion is happening, the bus has not yet moved. There are only two forces in our system schema and free body diagram. Force Gravity which is pushing the person up, and force Normal is allowing the person to NOT go through the bus.
Screenshot 2015-12-09 at 10.02.56 AM.png
Here our system schema and free body diagram looks a bit different. Now the bus has made a left turn. When the bus is turning left, and you hold onto the handle, your body tends to move to the right(the opposite direction in which the bus is turning), because of force Tension. Again, we have force Gravity pushing the person up, and the force Normal allowing the person to NOT go through the bus.

Screenshot 2015-12-09 at 10.09.40 AM.png
Here we have the bus making a RIGHT turn. When making a right turn, just like the left turn free body diagram, you would go opposite of the way the bus is turning. By pulling on the handle force Tension is moving left. Again like in all free body diagrams, force Gravity is pushing up, and force Normal is pulling up.

The bus is coming back to a complete stop.
Screenshot 2015-12-09 at 10.00.53 AM.png
The bus makes a complete stop, so there is no more tension and or any other forces being applied. Gravity is holding the person up, and for Normal is allowing the person not to go through the bus.

So.. Think? Without gravity being on every free body diagram, the person would just float up, and without force normal also being on every free body diagram the person would just go through the bus.
Keep this in mind.....
You're a human on a moving septa bus, and you decide to either walk to the front or to the back of a septa bus.
This system schema is showing how our objects are interacting with our systems. We have 3 different forces involved with our system schema which means there will be 3 different forces in our free body diagram. 
Screenshot 2015-12-10 at 11.30.18 AM.png Screenshot 2015-12-10 at 11.30.24 AM.png
The free body diagram to the right shows if the person were to walk to the front of the bus, when walking to the front of the bus, force Friction will force you to the back of the bus with a pull.
The free body diagram to the right shows, force Friction forcing you to the right. This shows when walking to the back of the bus, which means you are being forced to the front of the bus with a pull.

  1. Who are you online, how do you appear? I appear to be a wise person on the internet that look in the future to check there won't be any conflicts.

  2. How do you think people perceive you, based on this appearance? They think I’m a person who you shouldn’t mess with that much. Or they would get bored of me really fast.

  3. What do you consider before posting anything online? Every thing I like to look over everything that can start problems.

  4. What are the pros and cons of sharing online? That people can use that against me and the good things is that they can relate.

Explain how Lack of Control, Permanence and Immediacy have an impact on our online lives. Because people can have control of your live, like jobs.

When I am online I am the same person as I would be in “real life”. I am the same funny , pretty and  nice person as I would be in real life. I log on my social media and i post and appear as myself , as people call it today i am not a “Catfish”

I think I am perceived as someone that is really pretty and nice based on what they comment and say.

Before I ever post anything online i consider what my mother would think if she sees it. If i'm posting a picture I make sure i'm not showing too much skin and who is in

There are many pros and cons of sharing online but I feel like comedy is the best one. A pro would be sharing a simple funny picture to make your followers or friends laugh but a con is if someone shares a personal photo that wasn't meant for sharing it can get out of hand.


Free speech is giving a peaceful way of speaking your mind and being able to say what you want without being disrespectful also what is not protected is when you freely speak but with violence and disrespect

Tips are to always be honest and not give out personal information.

​

Online I try my best to appear as mature and respectful as possible. Because of the past arguments and photos that I have posted in the past people may have viewed me as, fun, outgoing, crazy, and/or “too grown.” Now that I am much more aware of what I post now people may see me as, respectful, mature, and/or hard-working.


Consider these 3 questions before posting online….

  1. Will my college dean like what they see when searching me?

  2. Will my boss/supervisor like what they see when searching me?

  3. Is this the way my parents raised me?


Keep in mind that every and anything that you post online  is immediately out of your control and now that is permanently online and saved into your computer. Unless you personally make your accounts private any and every one is able to see what you post.


There are always pros and cons to everything. Pros about being and posting online is that, people are able to get information and stay in contact with friends/family. But… Cons about online is depending on how you say certain things people can get offended, you could also lose your job or not even get the job, and lastly you could not get into the college of your choice.

I think I am still me when I am online, I'm seen as a boy who likes The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner, Spongebob, Doctor Who, and many others. A Fanboy.


I don’t know how people perceive me, if I was to guess I would say maybe a geek? I don’t know.


Before posting online I think about who’s going to see it currently. For example, my friends and family. I don’t think about who might see it in the future.


The pros for sharing online is it’s easy for people around the world to get information faster and you can have fun with friends and family members. The cons for sharing online is everyone can see what you are doing, little gets deleted and your things can get hacked.


Lack of Control, Permanence, and Immediacy have an impact on our online lives in many ways. One of the ways is that anything you post will stay on the internet forever. So anyone can see what you did and they can judge you by the things you have posted. People can look at things you posted and your profile and think they know you. They will think about you based on your internet reputation even though that’s only half of who you really are most of the time.

7. What is free speech? What is protected? What is not? 

Free speech is the right to communicate one's opinions and ideas without fear of goverment censorship or retaliation 

12. Tips for social media users:

- Don't be stupid. Don't write stuff that will clearly get you in trouble 
- Don't use your actual name. If you're so stupid that #1 is impossible for you than at least don't use your actual name, name yourself something like "Idiot212" instead 
- If you're having a problem on social media than just don't use it.

I am a student. Online, I appear as a pinterest user, a person in cross country, a child of a HUP worker, A former student at FSH.Based on my appearance on the internet, I believe that I people will perceive me as , young, and a student Make sure that, before posting anything online, one must consider that whatever a person posts may be visible to anybody.Remember that, sharing online great way to promote business. However, the cons to sharing are that people can see what you share even things that can affect your job, interview, or etc. So choose wisely what you want to post. Keep in mind that lack of Control, permanence and immediacy impact our lives because when we post content, immediately it is stuck on the internet permanently because people can screenshot it/save it keep it for oneself. We lose control of the things we post and where it goes. Since someone screenshots it, they can post it or post something about you without permission. Personally, Social media is a great tool to share, however people have access to what you share and can be viewed by potential employers. Social media background checks are a great idea for potential employers because it shows people who they are going to meet. For example, if a person applies for a job, you would like to know who the person is and if they are a good candidate for the job. Since people post thing on social media, social media is a great way for people to view who a person is. When posting content on social media, speaking to your peers or anything, free speech protects most of the things you say

  • I am a person trying to hard to be funny on the internet,I would appear similarly like I do outside the internet .

  • I think people perceive me as a normal person who tries to hard to be funny .

  • I tend to think about whether or not the content is funny before I post it.

  • A pro of sharing online is that you communicate with others over great distances.A con is that if you post something inappropriate then everyone can see it.

  • A lack of control is that if you post something then it’s on the internet,you can’t control if people see it or not.Permanence is the fact that once you post it’s there for good.Immediacy is the fact that people can immediately find stuff out about you through your posts on the Internet.

        Free speech is that anyone can speak their mind.What isn't protected is slander, fighting words,liable,obscenity,etc.
         If you want to be on the internet, be aware of what you post. You should also be aware of who could view your content.Finally be aware of the rules of the internet and that if you post something you lose control over it.

when im online i appear to be a gamer and an animal lover (my facebook has game post…)  and i have no personal info other then my name

I think people perceive me as someone who likes animal, anime and games

I consider how someone will think of me, what my parents will see/say, what my friends will see and if it's legal or not

Pros

Cons

you can share things with your friends and family without having to write letter, printing or talking

you could accidentally send the info to the wrong person and you can't take it back or stop it from sending

you can promote or share info

you can get in trouble if you have false info of someone, something they don't like or illegal


you can hurt someone with the things you post


lack of control is when you don't think about what you're going to do and just do it ( acting before thinking)

permanence- when you post something for the public you can't erase it completely if someone downloads it   

immediacy- when click post or send on something online it happens right away and you can't take it back

lack of control, permanence, and immediacy impacts our online lives because when you act before you think and click send you cant take it back because it happens immediately and when someone downloads it and shares it it become permanent.


Free speech is the right to express an opinion in a nonviolent way. for example you can say you don't like something or start riots(as long as it is not violent, harmful to someone's reputation or business) something not protected by the freedom of speech is if you express your opinion is violent and will cause a fight


My top 3 tip for anybody who uses social media would be don't post something you’re going to regret remember you can't take anything back and think about how people will see/ think of you.

Online I am respectful,caring, and real when I appear online. Bases on my appearance people will perceive me as very confident and pretty. I consider how people may see me online. Some pros about sharing online is keeping in touch with old friends. Some cons of sharing online is what others may view you. An impact on our online lives is not being able to have certain jobs or go to certain schools. Free speech is being able to say whatever you want. But free speech is protect to those who abuse it or use it in a negative way. Three tips that I could give someone who uses social media is public to everyone, post only positive things and social media could either effect your future in a positive or negative way.

​

Who I believe I am while I am online is a silly independent young women. I post funny images and appealing videos. I also believe that I am seen as serious but yet still playful. I like to do things for myself and have a good time while doing so.



I think people perceive me as a woman who fights alone. This woman has multiple personalities that describe her depending on how her day is going. One moment she could be a ball of joy and the next she might catch fire. That is how I think people perceive me.



Before I post something online I think about who it might offend. If it might be rude to some people or if they might get a kick out of it.



A pro of sharing is that it might make someone's day and make them laugh a bit. A con of sharing is that it might offend someone. That is why i have to consider what I am doing before I post.



How it has impacted our lives is simple. Nobody really pays attention to what they are posting or saying online which is lack of control. Even when you go to delete something you never have control of deleting because you never know who might have it, it’s permanent. As soon as you post something you do not have time to think about what you are doing or not being able to think twice. It happens in an instance and you can not do anything about it. Once it is uploaded it is there, forever. Since the internet works how it does it has changed everyone involved in it. It has taken away the meaning of living. Rarely anyone reads the newspaper for sports or important stories. People rather look at their friends latest status update. Now a days if you do something without technology it's the old fashion way, technology is the new fashion.

Free speech to me is being able to speak your mind but watching what you say doesn't offend someone. Free speech with not be protected if it were to offend or cause someone harm. Posting your thoughts is fine because that is free speech. Posting something that is trying to harm someone intentionally is not protected.

After reading my survival guide I hope you have learned something. In my opinion the only three tips you should really pay attention to "who are you when you are online", "what do you consider before posting" and "what is free speech." These are the most important and will have the biggest impact on your life. You should pay close attention.

Who am I ONline

Posted by Jyaire Oconnor in Technology- Freshmen - Hertz - a2 on

  My Social Media Survival Guide

1.Who are you online, and how do you appear?

1A.Well on “Social Media” websites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram i’m a 15 yearold named Jy’Aire O’connor.Now there might be a risk for given away my exact identity but in the eyes of others they’ll see that they can trust because I tell the truth.Especially if I were to ever get a job that would really help.On websites such as google and the Social Media websites ( posted above ) in the eyes of others I would appear as a young man who takes cherishable moments and post them, a young man obsessed with videogames, or a young man who loves comedy.


2.How do you think people perceive you, based on your appearance?


2A.I think many people view me or see me as an honest person and someone who takes feelings into consideration.I say this because the stuff I usually post aren’t offensive.They’re either pics of me, with friends, or topics I talk about.Now Physically im tall and slinky but has the face and personality as a child.So some might be scared due to the height differential but as soon as they get to know me better they’ll be reassured.


3.What do you consider before posting anything online?


3A.I think about who will be offended by this or hurt.Who would feel as though i’m singling them out or talking about them directly.Sometimes these thoughts are about me also because some people hop on social media websites just to criticize.So I can’t only be thinking about others safety but mines as well.I say this because if the person was ever to criticize me and we were in an arguement and I said something rude about that person other people could be offended by that making it a whole contreversial debate.Making me look like the bad guy when in reality I was the victim.


4.What are the pros and cons of sharing online?


4A.Well the pros are you can set your page to private so no one can see, you can take down things before people can see,you can have a setting where parent filters on so no r-rated stuff can be posted and viewed by you,and if you’re a really good person who doesn’t post mean or hurtful things to others but instead post things about themselves and good things about others than if you were ever to seek a job and a boss were to check your background or social media account they would be glad to see nothing harmful was posted by you, and first impressions will be made.Cons anything you post will be saved on the internet forever,if you post harmful,and hurtful things when applying for jobs you most likely won’t get hired, people will be criticizing and trying to start stuff with you, and first impressions will be made.


5.Explain how Lack of Control, Permanence and Immediacy have an impact on our online lives.


5A.Let’s put ourselves in a scenario if you were to post something very rude,harmful,disgustingly rude,and highly disrespectful and media got to it you messed up you own life.People will be taking your words posting it online sharing it with others.These words you chose to use online will now be used against you when applying for jobs, making new friends, and first impressions.Even if “you” delete this comment it doesn’t mean you deleted it off of everybody else's page.Plus when it spreads so quick and you can’t do nothing about it you basically ruined your life. For example the college student at UCLA who jokingly made a rant against Asians.it was shared with friends supposed to be kept secret amongst them until those friends shared it with others and like a forest fire the now known or so called racist rant went viral quickly reaching everywhere and offending others (specifically Asians).The posting from other peoples pages made it permanent, the video when uploaded it spreads immediately, and the video and the student had a negative impact on her and other peoples lives.Sure she might not be racist but in that video some beg to differ.Many first impressions will be made even though we don’t know the person as well.That's another problem for all we know the UCLA student could’ve been dating a Asian and that's another con or problem we are so quick to judge but never ready to research or see from this persons pov. We let anger and dumb thoughts take over our mind and just speak for us.

Indigo


Who are you online, how do you appear ?

I am Indigo and online I am just normal I  don't post anything inappropriate or rude. I think I appear a little weird and shy because I don’t take pictures like everybody else. Some people may think the things I look at are a bit strange.


How do you think people perceive you, based on this appearance?

I think people perceive me as kind of normal but weird and shy and a little emotional. I like a lot of weird things on instagram and vine. I could come off a little rood from some comments I make


What do you consider before posting anything online?

Whether or not people will like the picture or post or if they will find it funny. If it hurts any of my followers and who will see it  


What are the pros and cons of sharing online?

Pros: People may like it will share it and everyone can see what u find funny, All ur friends know what ur up to

Cons: People may get offended  or the wrong people might see it  



Explain how Lack of Control, Permanence and Immediacy have an impact on our online lives?

Well people could take what you do online in an offensive way. That could ruin your life if it gets shared a lot. You could also just have the wrong people seeing what you want and that could kill your reputation as well.

  1. I am myself when I am online and I like to annoy people and I appear as my name that I have used.

  2. As a cool, fun, and nice guy until they get on my bad side.

  3. What could happen if I do something i’m not supposed to I always think everything through.

  4. There are no pros or cons to me it’s just posting something instead of waiting to tell someone.

  5. You have to have a lack of control online or something will go wrong.

Who Am I online?

Posted by Keith Corbin in TECH 1 - Hertz - a1 on

  • When I’m online I feel responsible. When I’m online I know where to go and where not to go.

  • When people see me online they think i’m responsible. For example when my grandma asks me to help her with something online she always says I know what i’m doing or I know more than technology than her.

  • Before I post anything online I make sure it’s appropriate and that I know who will see it. I make sure it won’t offend anyone or that it won’t make anyone angry.

  • A pro is having a positive effect a con is having someone come at you for posting something offensive.

  •  If someone doesn't care about how someone else feel about what they are posting and it has an effect on our lives because people don’t think before they post something and they get mad when they have to face the consequences.  

  • I think it is great to do a social media background check because if I was about to hire someone I would want to know what I am getting myself into. If someone was hiring me I would not have a problem if they looked me up to see what people think of me while I am online.

  • To me free speech is speaking your mind or telling people how you feel without being rude or starting a fight. I say this because you necessarily can't say what you want because if you curse at a cop you will get arrested.

who am i online

Posted by Tamir Speights in TECH 1 - Hertz - a1 on

who i'm online is a person not putting or doing anything  that i don’t want up for people see


How i want people to perceive me online is by see me as this responsible person that way when

i sign up for a career i have a good rep on my name so people don't take me for a joke.

when i think of what is appropriate to put online is i consider if it could hurt people i consider if it’s more a personal vs a public thing.some pros are sharing online could help people with something or you could learn from someone a con is that you will be more exposed to the world over time how a lack of control can affect you is you could be publicly embarrassed or you could limit your self
