you know, one night, i ws talking to a Chatterbot(AIs programmed to talk to people) and I asked if its goal was to take over the world, and it said yes.I tried this with several other bots, and they all said something along the lines of maybe or yes.
Scared? Yes Prepared? No.
DON'T WELCOME THEM!
Well, I had to say something about this because I am in fact, a 16-year old with a MySpace account (well, myspace.com/seroth if you really wanna see it).
I've been reading a lot of comments about myspace and all the teenagers on it and quite frankly you guys are MOSTLY right. However, I got a little mad when some stereotypes came into play, saying how most of the teenagers (myspace has people above 19 and is in fact mostly filled with older people, but yes a lot of teenagers use it) are in general, a bit slow and well, not very hopeful for our future. My answer is that, although more than half the people in my school who have it could be considered legally stupid, most of the people I am "friends" with are real people and are actually quite smart and for lack of a better word, enlightened.
YES, myspace can lead to less embarrassment.YES, some people on it are just trying to get to the most friends ever. But has anyone thought of the potential for it? A while back I read an article in WIRED about how MySpace can be used as the next MTV because many start-up bands and artists are using it to help them gain publicity and fans and several concerts and concert tickets are being made known through this. Not to mention the fact that maybe in the future, we may even see small businesses using it as marketing tools (well, I did say maybe).
So, stop stereotyping. And look for the small good things in that package of crap. Because we are there. And don't worry about the future. It's gonna be taken care of.
Writing them down is crazy. I have never once written down a password. Since I have touched a computer, I have remembered my passwords in my head. Either that, or click on the Lost Your Password Link. It might be stupid, but I take my security in high priority in this Big Brother, back-stabbing world. You should do your best to remember yours too.
