What topic in the video did you mostly identify with and why?
Sometimes i get tired of the technology. As they say in the video, we don't take breaks form it and 24/7 we are available to talk. People that text me expect and imidiate response and sometimes i just take a break form it. I like to use it with moderation and balance, not be overwhelmed by it.
What topic in the video was the most unlike your own experiences online and why?
I was really shocked by the boy who committed suicide. These stories are very common but i have never had one that had happened to someone close to me. I think this is carrying things to an extreme. People should be strong and know that there are people to help them, also campaigns and support groups This is not the way to escape your problems, you have to confront them.
What are the biggest benefits of being online for you personally?
I like being online because i get to learn from other places and trends like fashion and music. Also i can research about topics that interest me for example recipes of food. There are many web ages that permit me to do this and are not necessary social connected. These webpages may be Tumblr, Polyvore and others. Something that i really like is that it permits me to be connected with friends and family who live far away. With social pages i can know about their life =s and communicate with them instead of breaking are relationships that were close.
