@__vithushan That is an interesting point, but even then, our personal computers can get hacked, are we truly protected or would genuinely disconnecting from the internet be more efficient? But, even then I am aware that in this day and age, that really is impossible as our data is on the web

@HaleyJaneOTU @Ieva59235001 This is very true; even something as "innocent" as posting your office space or agenda for the day can be incriminating, as there are people out there who will notice minute details that breach a company's confidentiality.

@HaleyJaneOTU @JennJade5477 I would also like to add you do not need to share everything, or if you are, always give your pictures a quick review before uploading them. Celebrating milestones such as getting a new credit or debit card, have unfortunately been victims of over-sharing https://t.co/ASaPdFYfa4

[Christel Rayos @RayosChristel]

@HaleyJaneOTU @MsReyes1586 Exactly! Even platforms such as Snapchat, where uploaders are notified when a screenshot was taken and who has taken it, are not impervious to such measures, even with the added security. A quick google search outlines details and methods on how to bypass security. #EDST1160

@JaniceMcCabe12 @HMajeed99 That is very true indeed. Our digital footprints, or in this case, our tattoos, will definitely live even when we've passed on. Our bodies contain a wealth of information. Kosseim's (2016) address aptly examines it within the context of privacy https://t.co/YP1EPgpHr7

@Alyssamf95 I agree with you to a point. It all comes down to what one posts on social media and how one responds to it. Less may be more in this case too! Sometimes, the less we use social media, the less we feel vulnerable to online attacks.

[Christel Rayos @RayosChristel]

@RebeccaOnTech @MedicoSophia OMG! same! I wonder, did it also help you feel more connected since you'd chat with them online, even after just seeing them? I think what I missed was having those conversations at certain times. (i.e., after school). Nowadays, it is expected to be instantaneous and at any time.

@Nicolevee1014 In addition, after viewing that video, this was the first thing that came to mind: The right to disconnect https://t.co/c9xnvhSg3Y I do agree with @Ieva59235001 can we truly disconnect?

[Christel Rayos @RayosChristel]

@Nicolevee1014 Thank you for sharing the video! Sometimes, we do have to disconnect to connect. She raised an interesting point about "likes" and social issues, instead of actively engaging in them, I wonder if "sharing" a post would count as one? or is that a form of attempting to engage?

@iryna_ivaniv @LydiaNigro2 For example, in connection with my earlier tweet: https://t.co/1LrafHOwQN

@iryna_ivaniv @LydiaNigro2 Interesting, what was your take when you shared this? The first thing/question that came to mind was: are younger children being weaned on social media/technology much earlier and have transitioned over to adulthood? Or are adults acting like children, "metaphorically" speaking?

[Christel Rayos @RayosChristel]

@LydiaNigro2 Just wanted to share this, a really great way to think about it is, why was social media created? How did we divert its intention? Or can we even claim it as such?https://t.co/0RfysV5cE4

[Christel Rayos @RayosChristel]

@LydiaNigro2 A complex question, social media and its connection to mental health have had a bad reputation due to its perceived adverse effects, its addictive and pervasive nature. However, there are benefits to it as well that are often overlooked. It all comes down to how we use it.
