blog 8

                 In "The Net Is The Real World" Jake Simms and Larry Magid discusses how the internet can encorage cyberbullies, which can then leads to invasion of privacy.Two Rutgers University students Dharun Ravi And Mollt Wei are arrested in the involvement of activating Tyler Clementi's (Ravi room mate) wed cam, which showed him dipicting sexual acts with another man without Tyler knowing. After finding out he then posted a fare well message on his facebook page, then he jumped off the George Washinton Bridge.

                I agree with professor John Suler that "people say and do things in cyberspace that they woden't ordinarily say or do in the-to-face world", because the other day i was on the wedsite chatroulette and there was just people abusing the site. It's sopose to be a site were
people all over the world can talk to each other, but yet there was just guys masterbating every
were.

            People see the internet as a filter where they can say and do anything wiithout remorce
which is not true. They need to understand that there is a real person on the other side and what they say can and will affect that person. The invasion of privicy is where some internet users take it to a a new level, this is the worst of them all and it can cost peopl there lives like in the case of Tyler.
