Studies are being made now to see were most internet users look, when they first look at an website. For most people it is the top left corner of the website and the right side bar of the website. Due to recent research internet admins are changing the face of there websites to make sure they can get the most out of there websites. To fully please, there viewing abilities and to best sell there product or information, to the general public.

over the past several weeks, a story has recently emerged about 8 Florida teens beating up a friend. With one teen filming the entire fight and then posting the video on popular websites like Myspace and YouTube. After these Florida teens were arrested, people started to wonder if websites like this were responsible for encourage teens to create videos for fame.

Also questions started to arouse about, why no one had flagged the view. Which would automatically send the video to YouTube to be screened by YouTube employees. Who could have taken the video off the website for good and notify authorities of such actions, at the time. 

Now people are starting to wonder if middle school and high school teachers should now teach classes to kids, about how to intervene in situation earlier and quicker.  While other people that this is just a natural occurrence, that people get into fights all the time.

After reading the Article about online Safety, i do agree to where the article is heading towards. I feel alot of teenagers would deal better if they could express them selves, through an online web source.  I try to remain safe online all the time by avoiding certain sites and only giving out certain information if not required. I think online security is an extremely important in todays society. Since identity theft is such a huge problem in todays modern online communities.
