Hello, Seniors!!
I hope you have found this site and are going to respond to this blog. Please use first names only to respond unless I have instructed you otherwise. So, what do you think of the ideas I have for this year's class? I really hope we can help each other learn a lot about new technologies available to us. Please remember to be safe when posting on any blogs and never to use this or any other space to belittle or bully anyone. My question today is: Do you think people realize that the things they say online could come back to haunt them in ways they never dreamed? Things written online- stay online. What are some of the ramifications of writing things online that you may someday regret?

Hello Mrs. Hannon. Whats going on?
I dont think people realize that what they write online can come back to haunt them, because to be very honest up until this point I never gave it much thought. I also think that as people become more aware of this they will become more careful of what the post online.
Hi, Mrs. Hannon.
Unfortunately, I don't think many people realize that what they say online can come back to harm them. No matter how private you think your blog or Myspace is, there's still ways around that false security. There's other ways of seeing what you write, even if you "Friends lock" your journals or myspaces.
WAHOO!!!! I AM YOUR SECOND COMMENT! I FEEL SPECIAL!!! Mrs. Hannon I am personally very excited for your class this year. As you know I am a technological retard, and I feel by taking this class I will not be as behind as I usually am. Eventhough you have to admit I do pretty well without a computer. To your question, I think some people do realize what may come from something they wrote and are prepared for it. Yet there are others don't know or just don't care. Of course people who don't care don't know that, in this modern day of technology and the internet, and you put online can be found. Especially by future employers, and that may just be something that people don't think about.
ok fine i was your third. poop!
I don't think people realize that when they write things on myspace or on the web that it follows them,because you can find everything on the web.

Hi Mrs. hannon! Sorry if Heather J. dented your side door... :) Anyway, I think that when you have a myspace or a blog, or whatever, you leave a little peice of yourself behind, and whoever honestly WANTS to find it, they could. Just like how when I did that search for my name on google, I found that link to the guiding eyes page.
Well many ppl now a day seem to be more aware of thigs they say online but i only think thats the case because of the publicity that has been made about such sites like myspace and face book. Before the news ever said things about stuff like that i think many ppl were unaware about the right and wrong things to say not knowing it could hurt them.
Hi Mrs.Hannon.. I'm very excited about your class it seems very interesting and I think the ideas you have are really good..Personally I dont think people realize what they say online. I think most people dont understand what can really happen with all the information they give out. Like Jeff said up until this poitnt I really didnt understand how serious posting so much information about yourself could be
Hello Mrs. Hannon
I dont think that people realize that what they say can come back on them in the long run. I dont think that people ever think about being stalked or having there personal information stolen. I also think that alot of people think that it will never happen to them until it does.
Hello Mrs. Hannon,
No, I do not believe that people realize some of the effects they can face for posting obscene gestures on a blog site. I think that they are just trying to have fun now and don't realize the major conseqences they may have to endure in the future.
no i dont think that people realize that the things they say online could come back to haunt them. If people did, some wouldn't be in trouble with the law and even in jail behind the things they might say in chat rooms to under age kids or any where else on the internet. some people dont realize what they write on the computer could harm them thats why there are also alot of identity thefts. some of the ramifications of writing things online that you may someday regret are: possible jail time, a bad name, identity theft and many more.
Hey- don't forget to check your spelling and to use correct grammar- this IS an English class!
Hey Mrs.Hannon,
I don't think people understand that what they write in blogs can come back to haunt them. People don't see that what they may say out of anger or stupidity can be later used against them and can in the end cause more harm to them then anyone else.
Hi Mrs. Hannon,
I feel people tend not to think before they write some of the stuff they do online. Online is a non-safe place to be putting yourself out there like that. You are puttting yourslef in danger and dont realize the effect and harm that may later haunt you. You can find everything online- World Wide Web- speaks for itself the whole world can view and know knowledge you may not want others to know!
I dont think that people relize that the things they say online could come back to haunt them in ways they never dreamed because most people believe that just because its online nothing can go wrong. People dont belive that things online can bring problems. Some of the ramifications of writing things online are that perverted people can pretend there someone else online and can take advantage of teens. They can cause lots of problems among people and sometimes among friends.
Hi mrs. Hannon!!
I dont think people relize that what they write online can come back to haunt them. I think that people are more concerned about gosip and chatting online rather than thinking about the consequenses they might have when they post personal information. The ramifications can be gainin
g unwanted stalkers which can lead to kidnapping and rapeing.
I think people dont realize that what they write online can back to haunt them. I think that people think that what ever they write is going to get deleted eventually and that the information they post is only going to be viewed by the people they allow to view. The consequences to their actions online can be that they get unwanted people to have their information. This can lead to kidnappings and even to death.
Hannon,
I believe this class is going to be VERY interesting. It is something completely new to all of us, and by the looks of things people, including me, are exited about it .
Today, internet has become a big part of many people's daily routines. It can get very addicting. I think all of us can agree that when we first made our myspace accounts, we were literaly glued to the computer for the first few days. However, many people don't actually realize how much of their private information is out there for the WHOLE WORLD to see. Sometimes when you think you are being very careful, it is still possible to find out more information about you then you want others to know. But personal pages are not the only things that can give out private information. If you type in a home phone number(starting with the area code) on Google.com and search, you get that person's house address and directions on how to get there!!! (Guys if you are reading this, go on google and block it, unless it is already done by your phone providor). People are also becoming more advanced in today's technology and know different ways to do "research" on someone. ( I was once in that situation). So no, i don't believe many people realize what they say and how it can affect them in the future. Vanessa Williams is a perfect example for this topic. I hope people can become more careful with their privacy.

Hey Mrs. Hannon,
I think that this question has 2 different answers to it. There may be situations in which people realize that making a comment online can come back to hunt them, but they may not care. It depends on what they say and how they say it. They may write something while they were angry, or write information thats not true but they may not think about it as they act. Then again, there are times were individuals write things online, but they don't even realize that it can come back to hunt them. Honestly I had never thought about it till today. I don't think that I have ever written anything that may come back to hunt me, but then again I'm not sure. Hopefully people will realize that things that are written online may be wrongly read, that's why people should be more concious about what they say.
Hi, Mrs. Hannon
I do not think people realize what kind of response they can get from things posted on-line. Things such as "MySPace" have been known to cause much drama between students.
Hi Mrs. Hannon,
I do not think kids realize that consequenses of what they post online. Things such as "Myspace" have been known to cause much drama between students.
Sup Mrs.Hannon,
I think that that alot of people know that what they put on the internet would come to "haunt" them later in life. But I also think that they might not know how much it can affect them. Most people don't think that if they do something online when they are 15 it would affect them 20-30 years later. Or they just don't care right now at their immature age.

Hi Mrs. Hannon.
I don't think that many people give it much thought. I think people go online to find friends so they try to give every single detail about themselves just to find people that can relate to them. But instead of running into friends they run into enemies that want to visit them right and they know where to visit because of the information that a person has posted online. I think people start to realize that the things that they say online can come back to harm them when they see all these murders on the news where this little girl met this old man.
Hi, Mrs. Hannon
People dont realize what they write online can come back to haunt them, because most people come online just to have fun and dont think of things they're doin at the time. Like myself i just come online not thinking of what i did or said until i get off. People will never learn this and will continue to do the samething without thinking.
Hello Mrs. Hannon.
I think that some people realize that when they post different things online it can effect them, but they dont believe it will. They feel that it happens to other people but it wont happen to them.
Hello Mrs. Hannon
I think most people don't think about what they say online and I think that it will something very dramatic or tragic to happen for people to really notice it.
I don't think that people realize the things they say online can come back to haunt them because people don't realize that anybody could read the things your writing. But now that people are being warned about being careful and hearing about all the things that happen on the news, they are starting to be more careful about what they write.
To tell the truth Im not very familiar with bloging and posting things on line but from what I do know and have seen I think that alot of people are unaware of the impact that the things they post can have on their future. As you said these things stay there forever and are open to anyone.This can not only put you in the close reach of predators but in some cases it can cause difficulties when tring to find a good job; no one wants to hire someone who is practicaly a porn star. Many young girls dont realize what these pictures lead people to belive about them. or maybe they do and that is their reason; but regaurdless of the reason i personaly feel that people need to take these things alot more seriously.
Hi Mrs. Hannon,
No i really dont believe that students relize what they say or write online can in fact hurt them later on in life. People dont realize that any and everyone reads what is being posted online. People should watch what they say because they never know if later on in life they will regret what they had previously put online.
heyy mrs.hannon....
Well Mrs Hannon I finally am able to comment on your blog which means I can do my homework right in class. I am careful about what i put on my online webpages because even when I sign up for things I only put D for my last name my mom is very into internet security as you can tell my blocking on my screen name well im going to get back to class
Hola, well I really don't take spanish but..yah.....well anyways, about the blog....People don' think before they talk right? Well I think the same thing goes when they are online. Although they can always backspace, they are to stuborn to do so. People need to make better desicions about what they say about people. Some of it really hurts.
People don't realize what they say hurt people. I feel it will come back and haunt them when someone does it to them. when that happens they'll understand how others felt.
I honestly think that what people say online can some back to haunt them because there is people out there that can find you so easy by what you write on websites like myspace and other blog sites similar to that.
Hannon!,
I think people know about all of the dangerous things that go along with blogs and myspace, but no one thinks it will happen to them.
Well then...I really don't have much to say as usual. This class seems ok so far, even though I've only been in it for a day.
Hello Mrs.Hannon,
People don't realize what they write will haunt them because they are to immature to realize it or they honestly don't care for others people feelings.When they do realize that words will hurt them, they will be careful what they write next time.Hopefully they will understand how others felt.Which will or will not impact them.
Hello Mrs. Kelli Monaco-Hannon,
I really am feeling what you are saying and you should always be super careful because someone like Mrs. Hannon could begin stalking you. Don't reveal where you work because then people like Mrs. Hannon could start going there to get her prescriptions filled and to buy "Rolaids" (like that is what she really bought)!
I thnk tht ppl do stpid thngz online to get attention. Like on myspace, ppl put nude pix up to get a lot of comments or views bt they fail to realize tht employers look at their pgs b4 they r hired sumtimezzz. Also ppl put their personal fone numbers on their frndz pages for everyone to see. Wen doin tht, othere strange or perverted ppl are able to contact them. It is possible for starngers to go to a website and put th number in and find out where tht person livezzz. So my answer is tht ppl dnt realize what they are doin wen they put certain thngs onine, and it duz com bak 2 haunt them.
To ms hannon
I think people dont relize what they say online because they dont understand how serious abused information can be. People can be hurt, and it can cause true problems, but i think with more awarness peple will learn to keep personal info private.....
People are completly unaware of the consequences that can occur from on-line. It's kind of funny how people use blogs on-line as if it's their personal diary. On-line blogs can mess up friendships and sites like myspace can even get a person killed if they are stupid about it. The reprecutions of on-line blogs are mad serious yo. NOw that i've been taught how to comment on this (because i needed a class on it) this is going to be fun. Although on-line blogs can have serious consequences they can also be pretty sweet! =)
I think that people can be haunted by posting comments they are only kidding about until it is time for them to apply for a job and their comment is exposed. Things I probably would regret about being online is the silly myspace pageon how log i spend on there talking to people.
I think posing on the internet should be taken very seriously. It is important to never author a comment when one is upset or angry. Wait to cool down first.
It could come back to haunt you. Who knows...maybe a college admissions officer might be monitoring your blog...you just never know.
Good luck Ms. Hannon with this great project for your class. You are to be commended for level of commitment to your teaching.
hey mrs.hannon!!! Im really looking forward to this class....I myself dont realize what i am posting online sometimes..... it can come back to haunt us....I nevr really gave it much thought.
I think dont realize that what they say on the internet. I have learn personally that people say things on the net thinking they wont have any consequences because they are not face to face with someone .People should think about what they want to say before they type it avoiding MANY problems.
Mrs. Hannon,
I really don't think people do realize what they say online. sometime what you say can become something else like you may write it one way and someone else may read it and put it in a way you did not mean therefore people should really think about what they put online or any other web page before that write it.
Some people dont realize that the things they put on the internet can hurt someone or lead to them getting hurt.No one should hurt anyone by means of the internet.They shouldnt give personal info on the internet either.Someone good find u.
I think people shouldnt put anything on blogs that would demean anyone.Because you can get hurt or you can hurt other people.The things you put on the internet can come back to haunt you.
Well I personally feel like people should already be skeptical about putting deep information about themselves or anyone on the computer.BUT for the people who do they need to know that theres no telling who might just so happen find what was said and what circumstances might come out.People should just think before they act!
I don't think that people realize what they say online can come back to haunt them. It's either that or they just don't care.I tend to be very careful about what I say online because you never know who's watching. You have to be very careful because once the wrong person get a piece of information they run with it. It can cause a lot of drama.
I dont think people realize that what they say online can haunt them. That is why you should be very careful of what you say while online because anyone can be watching you and if they get good information about you, you best believe they will try and use it agaisnt you.
