When this news came out I will admit I was intrigued. I've always thought that Kaley Cuoco was adorable and I had never heard of 4chan and I went there. Two minutes later I left. That place is a pit. It was gross. It's a lot different if they chose to pose in playboy than having there private pictures stolen.
I have a friend who, just a few months ago, not just posted one video showing her masturbating, but double posted, it on facebook. At first I was in disbelief. "Is that? No it can't be. Oh my god it is." I felt terrible for her, and I was also a bit angry, because of the younger audiences that are connected to my network and hers. I'm quite sure she didn't mean to and I'm sure she was mortified when she figured out that she had done it, but she pointed a camera at herself in a xxx way. That in itself isn't the problem at all, the problem was where it ended up. I don't want to believe she did uploaded it purposefully so I will say it was by accident.
We all need to understand our equipment and, if we use them, how they work. (Phrasing!) The technology of today is far more sophisticated and accessible and, for some, too complex. I don't know many people who truly understand their devices and what they do and there really isn't a lot of tools out there to train people. I try to understand because I enjoy the tech and I enjoy taking the time to see how it works. There is a responsibility there. If your going to use something you must understand how it works, at least at the fundamental level. Dropbox automatically syncs my phone pictures to my photo box, and for me that wasn't cool, and I know that if I take a picture or a video it will be crossing paths with the KFC and Coke recipes through the cloud. No matter how secure somebody says their tech is it will be accessed at some point. I would like to think that in some way our photos are touching ... Kaley Cuoco...
