Quotations from "Dot Complicated" - Untangling Our Wired Lives by Randi Zuckerberg
"Now five billion people around the world have their own mobile phones, and about a billion of those are smartphones with access to the Internet, e-mail, and all the amazing apps that are available today."
"I follow a simple mantra. Work. Sleep. Family. Friends. Fitness.
Pick three."
Two of the author's online behavior rules for children are:
#3. Only add "friends" online if you also know them in real life.
#5. If you're going to put something in writing, make sure you would be comfortable if it was reprinted in a newspaper.
"... about the trend of social media "shaming" and how it's gotten wildly out of hand."
"One tweet, one photo, one blog post is now all it takes for people to lose their jobs, their reputations, and their credibility."
"When you shame-post someone, it can have serious effects on that person's life."
"Now the ability to broadcast to everyone is universal, and the wildest dreams of the craziest futurists from the 1990s are a reality. Today everyone is a journalist, everyone is an art gallery, everyone is a newspaper, a magazine, and a wire service, all in one.
And everyone is a mini media empire."
