Inappropriate use of Digital Media
I, like others, have received email messages in which the true intent was not quite clear...did the person mean to be hurtful or was it just a lack of awareness about how the written words would come across that caused the person to write such things?  The one thing about written posts is that they are out there for people to read and re-read or view and share.  Even when people think they have deleted their information, oftentimes it's been saved in a screenshot or downloaded so that it's not truly gone.  A friend of mine has been working very hard on converting a former church into a family home.  She posts photos on social media so that her friends can see the progress and it's been great to watch this project unfold.  Unfortunately, someone downloaded a few photos without permission and was sharing them while taking credit for the work that was being done.  My friend was very hurt and in some ways, felt violated.  She has now set up a private group so that said person no longer has access to the photos or the progress.  I was sorry that she had to deal with a situation like this.
