Squidoo is a website which allows people to amke their own 'lenses', so people can see them and either learn how to do something, or just to kill some time, if they are bored. Lenses could be: How-tos Top 10s and anything people would think to put really.

 Social Media Warning

You can advise parents to advise teenagers to not trust people they don’t know personally like random strangers they meet on the internet and watch what sites they are on.

Teenagers can be advised to be wary of people they meet, as they could be lying. Suspicious people can tend to be those who ask a lot of personal questions. Don’t tell them anything personal.

You know who your online ‘friend’ actually is only if you already know them well in real life. Your concerns can include them stealing your identity or finding you in real life.

If you delete your account, the most of the information is destroyed except for some copies of material for technical reasons, which is inaccessible by users of the networking site.

If you deactivate your account, you can still resume it, and all the data and information is still there.

No current laws.

Reflection 26/05/2010: Today I learned how to add widgets to my wikispace and also improved my animating skills in Pivot so the animations I make now will be smoother. I also now know the details for our upcoming excursion to ACMI - Screen Worlds.

Reflection 2/6/2010: We learned a lot about technology in the past and saw a lot of interesting games. We 'examined' Quake by playing multiplayer LAN. We also played a lot of other games.

=Firewalls=

1. The internet infrasturcture is a global collection of networks that join to make a global network. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) connects your computer to the internet, while the routers send the information for the site you are accessing. 2. Firewalls process the packets of data and allow what you want in and keep out what you don't want. 3. The purpose of a firewall is to protect you from unwanted data and preventing them from reaching you. 4.

5. Firewalls can be customised by setting what you want blocked and what you want allowed in. An IP Address, or Internet Protocol, is a number (e.g. **216.27.61.137**) that gets set to a particular device, like your computer. A domain name is the text name assigned to the IP address. A protocol is a set of rules used by a computers connecting with each other. Ports are access points for computers. 6. Many countries have censored certain websites like China, Pakistan and Iran. 7. They chose to block or unblock websites. 8. Advantages are that you can block any sites with viruses or harmful data. Disadvantages are that some websites that are blocked don't need to be blocked. 9. A proxy server is the middleman between your computer and the internet. It helps the network work more efficiently by scanning content going out, speeding up access to websites and blocking unwanted sites.
