Thing 4 – Digital Security
Looking into my digital security for Thing Four has helped me to feel like I have a bit more privacy.

Twitter: Thing 7 of the 23 Things
Before I start on the exercise (use a twitter tool and give an overview of my experiences) I would just like to point out that in the last couple of years, after several false starts, I have begun adapting to Twitter. I have gotten over its immediacy, …
Privacy- settings unknown?
I was not surprised by the settings on my devices as I have always been aware that I needed to be careful with what was shared since I was excited to find on my first smartphone that google maps showed me where I was. If the phone knew where I was – how did … Continue reading Privacy- settings unknown? →
