You Never Know Who's Watching You!

After reading a blog on Learning Is Messy by Brian, “Should you or I Care Who Follows Us on Twitter?” some of the points he made are great ways of showing why some digital sources are affecting us and our future. As I am not a user of Twitter, so I do not know how it works. But from what I do know is that it doesn’t seem very harmful. I mean all you’re doing is posting random things of what happened to you 5 minutes ago and that nothing really bad can happen to you, right? Wrong! On Twitter, you have people who like to follow a certain poster and can read everything you say. They can be anyone from your brother, your grandparents, people across your town, or people across your country, people who you have never even met. This type of thing could attract stalkers and bad people. You could give those types of people the simplest information and they could find you faster than you could say “I wish I didn’t say that!” There are also people that could affect your job and reputation. Other Twitterers can see who follows you, so if you were to have Hitler as one of your followers (just saying) people would probably not want to hire you for a job or your friendly neighbor wouldn’t even want to be living by you. Although you can block who follows you, just be sure if you’re blocking the right type of people and keeping your “Tweets” safe and friendly, because you never know who’s watching you.
