To post, or not to post...that is the question? The internet has become a sharing network for pictures and personal videos. Since every user is held responsible for what they post on the internet, it would be best to check a few details before posting any document on line. Think about the following:
1. Do you own copyrights to this file?
2. Did you obtain permission from the persons appearing in the pictures or videos for posting on the Internet?
3. Are there children in the picture?
4. Are the pictures embarassing?
5. Could their content be offensive to certain people?
6. Could the content be considered offensive, hateful, discriminatory or sexual?
7. Do you want the internet community to have access to your pictures?
Have you posted pictures on Facebook or Youtube? Have you considered the above questions before posting? Can you think of other guiding questions that might help people decide if they should post or not? What do you do if a picture has been posted that puts one of these standards in question?

Some interesting, useless facts for you to ponder! What do you think?
The typical laboratory mouse runs 2.5 miles per night on its treadmill.
A rat can last longer without water than a camel.
The mouse is the most common mammal in the US.
The elephant is the largest animal on land. But it is much smaller than the blue whale.
The SIBERIAN TIGER is the largest cat in the world. It weighs up to 300kg (660 lbs) and can eat 27,2 kg (60 lb) of meat at one mealtime.
The first kind of PENCIL was a bunch of GRAPHITE sticks held together by string.
Did you know that the average lead pencil can draw a line that is almost 35 miles long or you can write almost 50,000 words in English with just one pencil? Amazing fact!
Now imagine an eraser that could match it !!!
Someone decided it would be better to push the graphite into the inside of a hollow wooden stick.
Did you know there are two kinds of pandas? There is the Long-tailed Himalayan carnivore that looks like a raccoon and there is the Giant panda bear that lives in Western China.
It was the Romans who made the first popsicle. They took some ice and added flavour to it and then licked it. What a great idea! Yummy !
The Sumerians, who lived in the Middle East, invented the wheel in about 3450 BC.
The Sumerians also invented writing.
Did you know it was the Chinese who made the first wheelbarrow?
