Mr. Brainwash vs Glen E. Friedman

• Mr. Brainwash got the picture from the internet
• He wasen’t aware that the picture was already in a published book
• Mr. Brainwash altered the photo and projected it onto a large piece of wood, painted the image on the wood, and glued 1,000 pieces of phonograph records onto the wood. The resulting artwork was displayed and used to advertise Mr. Brainwash's "Life is Beautiful" installation in Los Angeles, which becomes the dramatic turning point in Exit from the Gift Shop.

"Promises"

Promises is a video online at http://www.netsmartz.org/RealLifeStories/TeenPSA. This happens everyday in the real world. Here in bedford township, we don't think this could happen, but everyday thousands of kids go missing because of this problem. A computer cannot show emotion, or "problems". So many things happen on the internet and its getting worse. This is a very true video, but its a little creepy.

"Tracking Teresa"

1. What personal information did Teresa give out? With the information we figured out that Teresa is a female and has a little brother, we know what school she goes to, when she gets home, what she likes, who she hangs out with, where she lives, her parents names.
2. Have you ever put personal information on the Internet? I have put my birthday and where I live on the internet, also my email and facebook account.
3. According to Deputy Krupp, what is the most important thing to remember when using the Internet? Make sure you use common sense when using the internet.
