Kony 2012

    Lately there has been a big story in the news about a man called Joseph Kony. Joseph Kony is a man that leads an army called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Kony and his army has been kidnapping kids for about twenty years. He kidnaps them while they are sleep, gives them guns, and force them to kill their parents and other people. He also uses the All of this takes place in Uganda Africa. Some people even say Joseph Kony is worse than Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler! Obama has sent one hundred U.S. troops to capture and kill Joseph Kony. Other U.S. civilians are trying to make Kony "famous". They want everyone to know about Kony so he can be brought to justice. On April 20, 2012 people are volunteering to go outside and put up posters everywhere in the city.

   I am one of them people that is helping to put posters up. I think what Kony is doing is wrong. He should not be kidnapping children and forcing them to kill their parents. He said that he wanted power and money. If he just wants that he should just get a job not kill people. This Kony story has been spread really fast. It is still all over the news, it was trending on twitter, videos on YouTube and we have watched videos in school. As of now, no one knows where Joseph is but they are looking for him. This twenty plus years of horror needs to stop. I hope the troops find him soon. I've got information from this article http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-03-08/invisible-children-kony-2012/53422862/1.

Facebook is Using You

   Facebook and the people who work for Facebook gets paid for advertising on people's pages. By liking pages and posting statuses, Facebook knows what you like. Basically they're tracking you and everything you do. Other websites get paid from doing it too such as Twitter, Myspace and other social network sites. If you are engaged an advertisement might be on the side of your profile page showing you nice wedding cakes. Some of the advertisements might be against you as well. For example if you live in Philadelphia and a lot of people in the state don't have a lot of money or have a hard time paying bills, they might think think you can't pay your bills as well. Some people worry about what they post of websites and think it might change some things.

    I have a Twitter, if I post a tweet people might think it's about them and may want to argue with me. I posted my number on Facebook and people started to prank call my cell phone. Sometimes i'll be mad and post something but can't delete it later on. I can also post a video of me making a fool of myself. One time i gave someone my password and they hacked my computer and gave it a virus. Sometimes I do worry about the stuff I post on the internet. People in the Facebook company can track what I say but I really could careless because I delete my cookies and history all the time.
