week 7 - Privacy

A the start of this class John talked about the group project. He went through the roles that come up in a group again such as the person who is full of energy at the start who has plenty of ideas and then fizzles out when it comes to the business end. this is compensated in an opposite personality who is good at putting the finishing touches to a project.
It is important however to be able to fit into any role regardless of your personal traits. College is a good time to exercise certain muscles that you don't usually in your own life and become a more well rounded person.
We also talked about the problems we could be facing such as how it is different to a professional setting and some people might not take academic project as serious. There are no financial imperatives.

We then talked about privacy online and whether we are conscious of what we put online. John talked about how recently he had gone to a wedding where there was an agreement made before it that everything put on social media was first approved by everyone.
people in the class however were less cautious about their posts.
I think it is very important to be careful what you post online in an age of 'trial by social media' when people are losing their jobs over silly things. the internet is an unforgiving place and once you post it you very rarely can make it disappear.
