Digital Life Pledge

1.What are your favorite things about social media?
Some of my favourite things about social media are that you can communicate with your friends, without actually having to be there.
2. What do you not like about social media?
When you need to discuss something private, you can't say anything on Skype, Facebook (etc.) because other people could easily see what you write or sent it to other people. Also, other people can send fake messages that were created of you.
3. Give an example of a challenge/problem/sticky situation you’ve had using social media?
I haven't had much of a problem with social media because I barely use it much, but there was one time when a fake Skype message about me was posted, and it was travelling around pretty quick.
4. How did you solve this problem?
I spread the word that it was fake and just asked the people to stop, and it stopped.
5. What are some of the upsides and downsides of using digital media to communicate with your friends?
Some upsides of using digital media are that you can talk to your friends even though they are in a different country or just aren't available to come. Some downsides are that you're not actually talking to the person yourself, so they can easily say fake things, or post messages that are not very nice, because they are not with you at that moment.
6. On a scale of 1 to 10, how big a role does digital media (Internet, texting, video games) play in your life? Probably 2, I don't use social media much.
7. Some aspects of my digital life that I would like to improve are that I research on things like cricket instead of doing my homework, and the "digital life pledge" would be that just to not get distracted and give myself a small time limit to check up on the scores from a night ago.
