What I am Going to Do to Kill my Internet Connection?

I was searching the web and horrified to how easily you could find information on me. This is specifically true in terms of photographs. It is sickening and frightening how you can just google and search to find a photo of me. I do not like it.

Although it is probably too little too late – and I will throw this up to naivety – I am going to change my passwords through the completion of college and then probably shut down my blogs and facebook.

What is unsafe, and I am going to continue to do regardless, is I am going to own my own domain where I will place my resume and portfolio. This is probably more detrimental than a facebook page for example, but at least I will be in complete control of it, and no one will be able to change that.

I hope to be able to use the internet to my advantage and still remain safe. I believe it is professional tool and should be treated as such. I do not like the idea of unsafe people scooping through my personal connections with other people. I will no longer update my status on facebook for my own safety. No one needs to know where I am or what I am doing.

Advertising Promotes Society

One of the great things that that advertising does for me and society is that it communicates a brief message. It allows for me and other members of society to briefly watch a commercial or look at an image and immediately get the message. If an advertiser is good, you do not have to think to hard about the message it is portraying.

Websites can also be advertisements; much more in-depth ones. Like I mentioned with the Cannes Lions website – it is really not appealing to the eye, nor is it up to date. Sites like MediaBistro.com are consistently updated and allow for users to log in and use their resources for their own personal gain. The site is clear and straight forward.

Advertising also creates jobs. In order for there to be ads, there needs to be a team of people involved in creating it. From marketing to research, the team is a key essential to why advertising it good for society.

Also, in some cases, advertising is socially responsible. On the Ad Week post, I discussed how the site challenged six companies to fight cyberbulling. Their ads will hopefully make a difference, no matter how small it may be.

Also political advertisements notify people of what they need to know in order to make an informed decision.

Advertisements must be pleasing to the eye, no matter what type of media they are.
As you can see, advertisements are a key essential to our lives and create a unified message across the spectrum.
