    "Your private info will stay private." They wont stay private because there are hackers that can access them with a few easy tricks. Also if you send a picture or secret via txt, the person you sent it to could show others although you asked them not to.

    The tech lie I agree with is is the about selfies. Taking excessive selfies is not OK. The internet is over saturated enough wit useless information, we don't need to see you drinking an overpriced latte in Starbucks.

    I agree that it's not okay to take selfies. Mostly because we've gotten to the point where everyone taking them are now doing it without thinking. There is no point to taking a selfie every 15 minutes.

    I agree that your password's aren't safe if their all same. If you give a friend your twitter password for them to "hack" it, then that account can stay on their phone forever, until you get into their phone and log yourself out. They get all of your notifications and messages, and they also know your facebook and email password too.

    I agree with the reusing same password lie. I think many people who use the same password are more likely that when they lose their random youtube account, they than lose their steam, email, and etc. A lot of people I know use the same password, and it makes it a lot easier for hackers to soon take over all your accounts, and than you are left without anything online.

    -Its not okay to check your phone every time it buzzes
    I disagree because there is a reason why you have notifications in your phone, it could be an emergency or just a simple text, either way its meant to be seen.

    The #1 lie, believing your things are private online, is the one I agree with because there is some way that anyone could hack our accounts or whatever even if we think no one can. In my opinion, if you want your things to be private don't put it online in the first place.

    I disagree with the tech lie that its OK to use the same password because it is very insecure to use the same password for all your accounts. I believe this because not only would that allow hackers easy access to all your information it would also just be ridiculous to use the same exact password for all of your accounts.

    I do agree with the first lie, "your private info will stay private". Every information you put in social network will never be private and that could become a problem. Anybody could see his or her information, I don't think that would be something good.

    I chose the one about were your Facebook and other social media passwords will not remain private. I agree with this lie. I agree with it because your password can be hacked or leaked any day.

    I agree with number three because you don't always have to check your phone when it vibrates. My phone has vibrated many times before and when i looked there was no message or anything.

    I agree that nothing will stay private because anyone can pull up anything on the internet. And if you have the right stuff you can hook up any ones phone and see what has been sent and revived through their phone.

    I agree that nothing you put online is private. Almost everybody goes online to check social media nearly everyday, and most people do so multiple times a day. Once you post something online, it is there forever, even if you delete it. If you do not want other people to end up seeing that post or picture, do not share it at all.

    I agree that the number one lie is privacy. Once you post something regardless if you delete it or not it will always be there, so basically think before you post something and realize its there forever.

    I agree with the lie that people use the same passwords over and over, thinking that your password won't leak out. People do think that, in fact I am the same way for a few things. There are ways for people to get your password.

    "its not okay to check your phone every time it buzzes" I disagree because there can be an emergency at any time and if you're not home then that's the only way someone can be contacted.

    I agree with the phone buzz. Just because your phone buzzes doesn't mean you have to check. I check mine anyways and I bet other people do it also. Everyone is in love with their phones.
