Social media and privacy
All privacy is thrown out the window when using social media. Even if you make a profile private it is still on the internet forever and the wrong people can gain access to it. If you want privacy then i suggest not using social media because there is none, unless you create a fake account. Things like nudity and pictures against peoples agreement should not be allowed on social media and the companies should take action to let things from the article not happen. People need to take more action when an embarrassing photo of someone is on social media and to not make it more viral than it already is, good common judgement will help the privacy issue immensely.
I have nothing to hide
Many people are not thinking about their privacy when using the internet. They forget that every little thing they do on the internet is saved forever and can be recovered if needed. Some people say they have nothing to hide, but if their google searches or emails were made public would there be embarrassing things? I like the saying "you don't have anything to hide until you need to hide it" because most people forget what people don't know about them. Also using credit card information and social security numbers on non secure websites is a huge red flag for identity theft but most people believe the websites are safe with no knowledge of the site. Im concerned about my privacy online because business employers could search my name and find pictures or even what I've searched on google.

College students multi-task throughout the day and think they are good at it.

Students were watched while doing homework and being on their phones at the same time. It causes the students to take a longer period of time to complete assignments and they don't comprehend the information as well s not multi-tasking.
