In the new age of technology, you have to fact check your news to make sure it is accurate. News Networks, like CNN, and social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, are notorious for spreading misinformation! Even people whose occupation is to 'fact-check' are often swayed by their political preferences and can spread misinformation. Always look up information on more than one reputable website to ensure that you are not being fed biased information! A good news source won't try and sway you to their side, nor will they give you their opinion about how to understand the news.

With the addition of phones, internet, and social media to our everyday lives, we need to hold ourselves accountable for learning the Do's and Don'ts of technology. This includes:
Not projecting yourself as materialistic or needy.
Not sharing personal information with strangers.
Only posting pictures that are appropriate.
Never sending scandalous or explicit imagery to anyone.
Learning how to disconnect from negativity.
Be careful responding to messages. Bots and strangers will message you in order to try and find out personal information. Be smart!
Be careful with whom you trust with your information.
Scandalous and lucrative language should be avoided at all costs. In today's world, your friends and colleagues have the ability to record you on video, audio, and even screenshot anything you send to them. Protect yourself and don't let others take advantage!
