Journal Entry #8 Digital Law
I found most surprising about this unit is how so many people use copyright, because I didn't think it was that severe of a rule to be enforced. Something that was confusing or difficult to locate was how to report a crime correctly. Manual Copyright Matters was a very helpful thing for student who are not aware of the copyright rules because it makes them aware of what not to do. NeedHelpNow.com is a very helpful site for people who are going through a rough patch in life and need a helping hand. The biggest issue for young people around Copyright problems is school work and projects. they want to get a good mark so they think copyright is the only option. The biggest issue for teens when it comes to online bullying is standing by. People don't want to get into it and they stand by while someone battles it alone. We would rather ignore the problem than face it head on.

Journal Entry #7: Digital Access
What I found most surprising about this unit was that small towns had to have immediate access to fiber network. What I found most difficult was to think of negative and positive things about the topics given. Yes, I think everyone should have fast access to the internet because they could need it for work purposes. I often worry about my privacy online, but rarely do anything to prevent it. I never post anything that could come back to haunt me. The biggest issue today with young people involving digital internet is they don't think about the consequences and post things that will haunt them in their adult life.
