2. Brad Casper’s Social Media Presence
Here Is a walk through on some of
my social media pages during this
class. I am still trying to learn to
keep up with more than one type
of social media but find that I just
don’t have time.

10. What was your favorite
discussion and what did you post?
 Privacy Policies and Buyer Beware
1. You choose to use Facebook which is a social networking tool and application. If any of
the information you have posted or listed is not something you want to take the chance of
another company or person getting hold of your information, then don't put it on Facebook
or just don't use it.
 2. The privacy policy fairly prominent in that they don't hide it. They make sure you have
an opportunity to check the box saying you have read and agree to the terms. In most cases
because of how those things are written most people really don't want to take the time to
read the entire text, so they check the box and go on. So the buyer is at fault on this one.
But, I would have to say that something should be done to make the terms either easier to
read or something shorter and to the point. Maybe even have an audio play through before
you can proceed. A bother I know but that way you couldn't say you didn't read it.
 3. Companies have been data for ever and they can only take what you put out there.
 4. I do think Facebook should stop making changes that open and or allow more
information to be released, but it is a money making decision they have to make banking
on the fact that they wont lose users over the decisions.
 5. I also think that as is mentioned in the WSJ article, that because of how the web is
designed and passes information allowing us to navigate the web, this causes issues with
privacy because of the information that arrives when we land on web pages. Maybe a
redesign there might be a good start.

11. My Reply to a students Blog
discussion and what did you post?
Re: Two wrongs don't make a right...
 The only problem is when you purchase something and then want to copy for your own use, they have
almost made it now where you cant even do that without buying more than one copy sometimes
because they wont le t you use it on more than one type device. Movies for instance. You can either
copy in iTunes format or windows media format. I think that if you buy iy you should be able to do
with it what you want for your personal use. Like you said it does come down to an issue of personal
ethics which are hard to police.

Subject: Two wrongs don't make a right...
 Copyright laws apply to digital materials in the same way they apply to physical materials. And
because the internet makes infringement so cheap and easy, it must become an ethical issue.
Something we all must take responsibility for concerning our actions. If you do get caught using
somebody elses work whether copying music, taping that movie, or stealing illustrations and so forth
you are breaking the law. Doing whats right even when the wrong thing is easier, and you know you
won't get caught still isn't right--somebody out there put their talent and time into creating what ever
it is somebody else wants to steal and/or profit from. Just because an application is out there that lets
you download whatever doesn't mean you have the right to do so.

12. My Word Press blog posts
 Recently I have gone back to doing something I love,
teaching/coaching. When I was 17, I was teaching skiing at
a local ski area in Angel Fire New Mexico and after I
graduated highschool, I had moved away mountain and a
sport truly loved. Years later in 1985, I picked up a new
sport, volleyball both indoor and outdoor and have been
playing ever since. Until recently I hadn’t found myself in a
place to really coach volleyball because my passion was to
play. Well the years of ball have taken a toll on my shoulder
and I am having to pull back a bit and relearn hitting with
my left arm. Since I am not playing at the same level I
figured why not try coaching. I can still play, just not as
hard and teach at the same time. So here I am some many
years later coaching a girls club team in Moore Oklahoma.
