What you’ve been saying

Fellow blogger and classmate George discussed the issue of who is to blame in the iCloud candle. He pointed the finger at the hacker, not the victim of the hack and I tend to agree. Why should the innocent people who have put trusted their personal content on the Cloud, take the blame for their content being shared all over the world? Although one does wonder why they would store their personal content on the Cloud and trust that it would not be hacked. Nonetheless, it is not their fault.

Jane discussed the issue of ‘sad shaming’, something that I had not considered before. She talks of the dangers of people sharing their personal and hearbreaking stories online for all to see, and how this would make people in similar situations who don’t want to share their story feel. I have always wondered, why do we feel the need to write an RIP post for a family member that has passed away, particularly if they don’t have Facebook!

Nethaniel has a humourous way to look at last week’s Apple announcement. Why do we feel the need to watch special events and announcements as they happen. FYI, I was in that 8.30 class and still got the same information you did at 6.00am. Bless you sleep.
