Colleges should certify their students before allowing them to use computers and the Internet. Below is a sample quiz, with the answers, to make it easier to pass.
1. Once a video is uploaded to YouTube, anyone can copy it and save it. True or False?
True - the software for copying is provided on YouTube.
2. There are many video hosting sites. True or False?
True - There are many hosting sites. YouTube and Vimeo are two of them. Anyone can access them.
3. If an image is used on the Net, Google will index it for searches. True or False?
True - Google will label the image and make it available to everyone.
4. Links last forever on the Internet. True or False?
True - The more a link is copied on Internet pages, the more Google will move it to the top of the search.
5. I can control where links to my photos, videos, and web pages are posted. True, False, or Dude?
Dude? - What are you thinking? Stuff is copied in a second and no one controls the Internet.
5. A blog can be hidden by omitting the link. True or False?
False - The blog is still published on the Net. Google may find it or may still have the information. Anyone with the original link can find it.
6. Material can be removed from the Internet by erasing it. True, False, or Not Exactly?
Not exactly - There are services that provide copies of earlier material published to the Internet.
7. Facebook pages are private. True or False?
False - They are webpages used by many different companies. How do you think ads appear based on your unique information?
8. Facebook photos are private. True, False, or Gotta Be Kidding?
Gotta Be Kidding - Facebook photos are available to all friends, or to friends of friends, or to everyone. Even if they are restricted to friends, that can be a large and leaky list.
9. Using Google is stalking. True, False, or Take Your Meds?
Take Your Meds - Everyone uses search engines to find out published information. That includes photos and messages that will end chances for that choice job. The words "publish" and "public" are closely related. MySpace is even more open than Facebook.

“Facebook: the good, the bad, and the adiaphora.”
Thanks. nice questions on internet . To see a lot of tech & computer questions click here
You expect too much, Pr. Jackson. As you noted yourself, most MLCers find themselves challenged when it comes to reading comprehension. Many are still reading one word at a time.

Very professional, just like all of the other anonymous posters. Got anymore needless bashing against the school that you can think of? How about the mysterious Sprinter video? Every last person at MLC knows whose YouTube account that is, and as such the video can be taken down immediately (Hint: Sarcasm). Or some more Mark Paustian bashing, I'm sure you know the man personally.
And since blogspot is so archaic in its posting ways, I can't recall if I said whether or not that was directed to Anon at 6:26 PM, but it was.
Kyle,
"Note that the Shrinkers take great offense at what was not said, so they can rant about the accusation not made, instead of addressing the main issue."
Kyle,
I understand why you're upset with people who bash MLC. You likely are taking it personally.
Thoughtful people habitually mock MLC because a large percentage of the school's graduates seem to be missing an important aspect of what it means to "educated". It's hard to define this aspect, but I think I have a way for you to visualize it: Draw three circles, each overlapping the other. (This is called a Venn diagram)
Label one circle "incapable of critical analysis".
Label another "unexposed to literature, thought, music, art and science not specifically WELS in genesis".
Label the 3rd circle: "Being shaped for vocations with 100% job security".
Now, put on your imagination cap and try to imagine the common ground between those three things. How to describe it...hm... "those who plan on surviving in a totally false thought-economy?"
It's not hard to guess why intelligent laymen, professionals in a myriad of differing vocations, find it difficult to take MLC grads seriously.
It occurs to me that MLC grads (more than anyone)should be up in arms about Ski and the other Church-Shrinkers spending all the money. MLC grads won't have any kind of security if the Shrinkers take over. Junkets get higher priority than Lutheran Schools. WELS teachers who can't find jobs in the WELS usually end up working at the 7-11 in Red Field SD (if you get my drift).
