Teens, Sexting and ‘Cyberbaiting’

cheyingtan — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:37:15 +0000

This is the VOA Special English Technology Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Just how common is teen sexting? Last week we reported on a new study of more than fifteen hundred Internet users age ten to seventeen. It found that only two and a half percent of them had sexted in the past year. It also found that only one percent of the images might violate child pornography laws. That study came from the University of New Hampshire. But another new report suggests much higher rates. Both studies defined “sexting” only to mean sending or receiving naked pictures. Psychologist Jeff Temple is an assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He says, “We found actually about twenty-eight percent of teens had sexted.” Mr. Temple says reports from medical offices and school officials support that finding. “One of the authors that will be on our paper with our data is a pediatrician. And he certainly sees this in his office. And from talking to school personnel and teens themselves, it certainly seems like it’s happening quite a bit more frequently than the one percent reported in the New Hampshire study.” He also says the behavior was the same for boys and girls. “We found that about a third of girls had sent a naked picture of themselves to another teen and about a third of boys had sent a naked picture of themselves to another teen.” Sexting is not the only issue involving teens and technology. A recent “Online Family Report” from computer …

JS – Just The Way You Are MV (Jasmine & Dana)

cheyingtan — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:03:29 +0000

Hey(: This is a school project (IT-Information Technology) where we had to produce a video around 3 minutes. There were no limitations and even no titles were given, so people made advertisement vids, tutorial vids, trailers, etc. And my group chose to do JS’s version of Just The Way You Are’s music video:) because the song is awesome and also we need a version with a female voice cuz we’re lip syncing in the vid and also MOST OF ALL, JAYESSLEE HAVE AMAZING VOICES – Janice 씨 랑Sonia씨 목소리가 아주 좋아요. 그래서 저는 JAYESSLEE 씨를 좋아해요:D ok that just sounds weird hahah but im a beginner so yeh… Anyways what was I talking about….. Oh and so we spent a really long time planning different scenes and we had quite a lot of ideas and we were really enjoying the process of producing our first video ever And so we shot (using our shitty cameras) for two days but we spent an especially long time in putting the vids together and editing them and stuff. But we used iMovie and its pretty easy to use so yeah. But this is our very first time so even tho we spent a lot of time on it it might not be really good and after doing this project i really admire koreans cuz the kpop vidoes are just so awesome. keke Anyways theres something wrong with my iMovie so whenever i export it there are some weird sounds even tho in my iMovie theres none. haha but nvm, just ignore the weird sounds (like those at the end where there is an overlap of an earlier part of the song …

US cops tried to erase online evidence of brutality

cheyingtan — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:17:48 +0000

Google has been asked by a US law enforcement agency to remove several videos exposing police brutality from the video sharing service YouTube, the company has revealed in its latest update to an online transparency report. Another request filed by a different agency required Google to remove videos allegedly defaming law enforcement officials. The two requests were among 92 submissions for content removal by various authorities in the US filed between January and June 2011. Both were rejected by Google along with 27 per cent of the submissions. The IT giant says the overall number of requests for content removal it receives from governmental agencies has risen, and so has the number of requests to disclose the private data of Google users.
