Privacy Hunt

1. Wiired/ How Facebook Could end up controlling everything you watch online

It is saying that Facebook has a heavy influence on other networks that gives them information about a certain user of users that have the companies product that they would like to sell. The article predicts that Facebook has gotten to big and therefore is going to run things in the cyber would.


2. Cnet/ Tracker that tries to do to  much

This tracker tracks t how many calories that the person wearing it has burned a lot of other things. It is information that people are sharing with, Apple,  and letting them see how they use their devices.

3. TechCrunch/ keeping track of when text messages have been read and open

This explain how Apple has come up with this technology that allows the people that have IPhones when the other person with the same device is texting or has read it or opened the text message. Apple has taken things to a whole other level with privacy and text messages being like they used to, when the other person on the other end did not know is you had opened the text message in order to respond.

Privacy Policies

1. SnapChat- In Snapchat they explain how they are making money of the users and how they use your information to sell to companies. Some of the privacies are letting other people view your snapchat story and for how long as well as the date and time. Snapchat does notify the user is there is any change in the privacy policies and will not use location without ones consent. One of the things that they can not control is if the other person screenshots the picture that you sent but Snapchat will notify you if they did. Personally, I do feel safe having this application and I do not have many complaints about it after reading the privacy policy. The only one that does bother me a little is getting information about the website or application I have used previous and using that to sell to other companies.

2. Instagram- They have teamed up with Facebook in order to get more insight about me. They explain that they do not share information about me with other third parties that I am not a part of but it is not limited. Instagram, also uses the log in, cookies and other things to as they say make it a "better experience' for us the users. I am not so crazy about, Instagram, and quite frankly  I have not felt like I have a lot of privacy on it. I would feel as if they would do they same thing Facebook has done and use certain pictures to alter and test with the emotions of the users to see the results.

3. Tumblr-After reading their policies I do feel as if I do have a safe environment although I do understand that they do have to make money and use the basic such as username, blog post, email etc.  Tumblr does work with Yahoo and cares for the privacy of the users and of course ask for consent if above the legal age.

4. Blackboard- It is who you want people to email or who you do not want to receive emails from. I do like this because I am very secure. I feel like it should be secure because it is something that is linked with school.

Group Project Roles

In order to have a complete idea on how our project will end up, we will all be dividing the work equally. Each member will be responsible for their own research and making sure it is thorough. Our topic is “Social Media and the Workplace”. Luis will be responsible for research and collecting data from the workplaces and how much they use and depend on social media. Orlando will be doing the introduction about  how media is and its big influences towards businesses around the globe. Lastly, David will be in charge of finding the pros and cons of businesses that use social media in their workplace. All group members will all have to have their specific research. If any one from our group member is having trouble on search for their data, then we will contribute our help if it ever come to that. The group member responsible for that each role will be held responsible and will need to elaborate and type their findings for proof. We will communicate with one another in order to progress on this topic and find as much information needed to present. Our way of dividing the work helps us see the importance of our roles and will benefit in seeing our perspectives on the data we collect as well as see what needs to be added, taken away,in order for our presentation on “Social Media and the Workplace”. The place in which I will get the information for the pros and cons for my role in the group would be the UHD library, or Google.

Chinese Gold Mining

In China, the employees dedicate a lot of their time in extreme cramped spaces just to be underpaid. The Chinese people playing games for extreme long periods of time in which they do not see the pay work off especially when they come to The United States and everything is more expensive.  In the video they expose these cramped spaces and interview some of the underpaid worker on how unjust they are being paid for their work, while the person running the whole operation is making a great sum of money off the underpaid workers. The name that this unjust operation has been called is the "Chinese Gold Mine" in which the name speaks for it self because the one running this operation is making a lot of money off the workers in exchange for unfair pay. Therefore, it is just an eye opener to a current problem.
         Most of what is happening is due to saving money for the greed of the people who run the Chinese gold mining. The Chinese people do enjoy what they do which is gaming but  they only thing is the downfall is the living area, no breaks as well as not enough pay. Getting paid ten cents an hour is nothing for the United States but when the Chinese come to America they find it hard to adapt and live off what they came here with.
