DC Inro: Norms and Responsibilites

Rebecca Hingst
We, as Americans, have the right to free speech and expression. I am able to post my thoughts, ideas, photos, and communicate with friends/family as I choose. I also have the right to choose to use technology or not. I can have Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts or not. I can choose who sees my posts and who my friends are. BUT - I also have the responsibility of knowing that whatever I post goes out for all the world to see. I have the responsibility of knowing that whatever I do digitally leaves a footprint that cannot be erased. I have the responsibility to protect myself. For example, if I post that I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks, I should know that that leaves my home vulnerable to theft. It is up to me to use any technology responsibily, protecting my personal information.
