To me digital identity means online life that may not make very much since it just like something that you have to protect. Like you can’t just put any picture on the internet because any person cold see and make it there own. For example taking your photo and posting in on ex rated site with out your consent, with out ever finding out who did it, or away to stop the person that posted it. So I would define digital identity as something that you would need to be more private with rather than to just post it to the public.

When I first read You are famous worldwide I was some what mad because I put my self in that situation and if that would have been me I would have been highly upset. Having a photo of me posted almost all around the world with out me giving my consent is not what really bothered me. It was the fact that they had the nerve to make fun of me. So while making money off of me without me seeing any of it. While the whole time I’m getting embarrassed. Another thing that would really make me furious is that they might never face the consequences of doing that to me.

When I was reading “Laptop thief shown on web fined” by NZPA, NZ HERALD STAFF it made me think about when my cousin. He was hit and killed by anonymous driver. The only information that we had was the color and the type of car. At the time we did not have any other clues on the case that was the only information that we had, some how the case was put on TV through Americas Most Wanted. When that episode was posted they had a call back from a viewer saying that they had recently bought a car similar to that description. They also stated that the person that bought the car from was in a hurry to sale it. Turns out that was the vehicle that was use to kill my cousin. So I’m some what happy that there are things like You Tube and Americas Most Wanted that could should things like that. Cause if not they would never found the killer of my cousin.

After all these very incredible stories I can even more tell you what digital identity means. To me it is something you just can’t forget about if something happens if something happens. Once again it’s a very important think that any age group needs to be careful with.

I thought my articles that I picked out were connected was that the person that it happened to won’t ever do something like that again and that they were both humiliated. I think this will connect to tech in lots of way like now we (tech class) will under stand that the computer and the people on it are not all fun and games they are serious matters.
