Week 3
I think people should be more careful about what they send to people because if it ends up in the wrong hands it can ruin your life. Somethings that you think will be deleted after you send always are stored in a hidden database for safe keeping and is never permanently deleted. Be careful about what you tell other friends on the phone because they can screenshot it and send it the others.
Some ways to keep you safe while communicating with other people digitally are
Do not send personal information to other people who you don't know.
Don't post something you don't want others to see.
Don't send pictures or video messages to people you don't know or even friends because they could save it or screenshot it and show others.
These thing can help prevent you from online danger.

Week 2
I think the future of computers are going to advance in technology, and hardware. I think in the future the computers will have similar changes like the size and memory capacity. I think computers have come a long way, from computers to smartphones was a big step in technology. Computers will become humans #1 source of information in the future if we keep advancing at a fast rate. As Bill Gates said in an interview "computers will be more intelligent. They will see more, hear more, and just generally be more pervasive."

Digital Literacy is the ability to navigate, evaluate, and create information using different types of technology. It also means using and knowing about technology and being aware of the effects it can have on people. Don't spend a lot of your time on the internet or you will become addicted. "One gifted boy in Korea became so addicted to the game 'World Of Warcraft' that he didn't eat or drink for days and eventually died from dehydration. He played for 36 hours straight and left a note saying that he wanted to join the heroes of the game he worshiped". You do not want to repeat the awful events that happened to this innocent boy. Digital Literacy is an important skill set to have because it helps you life a safe life on the internet and helps you learn how to control your internet addictions.
