Another BBC News Article on Technology

This article warns young people to protect their personal details over social websites stating that "Millions of young people could damage their future careers with the details about themselves they post on social networking websites" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7108627.stm).

The quote that I found most interesting is: "The commission said the young needed to be aware of their electronic footprint," something we should all be aware of. I think that adults who did not grow up in the Internet age are a little more weary of posting personal information all over the web, but I think it is a good statement to keep in mind--and to tell our students.
