Internet Privacy

Using spokeo.com, I decided to search the names of my father, mother, and grandfather. At first, I didn’t think I would fin much due to the fact that the internet hasn’t been around for a long a they lived, but to my surprise, it was a lot of information bout them on this site. Being that my family is from a small town in Ohio, I didn’t really believe that this site would know where they were from. another weird thing was that it knew every single city my mother has lived in in her life. The scary thing about this is that this was the free version of the site, so I am scared to see what information they have on version in which you pay for. 

It is important for us to use this internet in a safe manner because we might not know it, but everything we click on gives our location. Everything we post on social media will be forever as well. I do not believe information like this should be out there like this because there are some crazy people in this world that do crazy things. People would feel much more safe if we use the internet responsibly. And last point, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CLICK ON!

CRAAP Test

After evaluating both websites using the CRAAP test, they both seemed to be very credible sites to find dependable information on certain topics. While one was more politically oriented than the other, both seemed to focus on topics that have large crowds respectively. Politics is growing everyday as this generations seems to be more politically involved and others are still worried about the everyday problems of things like sex trafficking and racial issues. They are different sites that provide insight on topics using credible sources and loads of information that doesn’t seem to miss a point.

Search Engines

The topic I ended up choosing was mental health. Of course I used Google and Bing as my top two search engines which usually provide the same results. The differences came when I started to use the meta-search engines like DogPile and Search.com. These results came up with different types of books and products to order from Amazon for mental health. Other differences included mental health centers. Google links provided me with more things on the information side, but Bing and Ask provided me with places that treat mental health patients. It was interesting because the search engines give you an almost endless amount of results and if you aren’t specific, they give you more links than you really need.

Welcome to My World

Hello, my name is Anthony Jordan  and I am a sophomore from Stone Mountain, Georgia. I am a major in Sports Administration in hopes of one day becoming an agent for some of the best athletes in the world. My love for sports had driven this dream of mine as I am a former athlete myself looking for different ways to affect the world of sports.

I also have dreams of becoming a staple in the black community as I love to affect the lives of people that go through a struggle everyday. I’d like to invest my money to help others who grow up in poor conditions without clothes to wear and food to eat. I just love putting smiles on other peoples’ faces.

That’s a little about me and I hope you enjoyed every word of it.
