GOOD EXAMPLEO Your online activity is tracked. Your

birthday, medical history, and hometown. Most people are on the internet too much. We feel anonymous, but all of that data can be tracked and put into readable form. We want to share so much, we’re less concerned about our privacy. Businesses track our information because they succeed by doing it, but they are still concerned about our privacy. For example, Bing highlights their protection privacy. Privacy is a great thing but so is the exploitation or user information.

GOOD EXAMPLEO In the article “Is Privacy Dead?”, it states that

in today’s society or in social networking there is no privacy. Also, it says that we rely on the internet to the point that everything we do is posted and tracked. It also says that this generation of kids rely on the internet. Google is trying to protect our privacy terms. They say it matters. Also, many companies, such as Netflix and Facebook, are trying to become more private to help the user experience and make money. So, privacy is changing , but it is not dead.

The art of losing isn't hard to master;so many things seem filled with the intentto be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the flusterof lost door keys, the hour badly spent.The art of losing isn't hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster:places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, ornext-to-last, of three loved houses went.The art of losing isn't hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.  --Even losing you (the joking voice, a gestureI love) I shan't have lied. It's evidentthe art of losing's not too hard to masterthough it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

*RHYME SCHEME/TYPE OF POEM

Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.

Under my window, a clean rasping sound When the spade sinks into gravelly ground: My father, digging. I look down

Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds Bends low, comes up twenty years away Stooping in rhythm through potato drills Where he was digging.

The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft Against the inside knee was levered firmly. He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep To scatter new potatoes that we picked, Loving their cool hardness in our hands.

By God, the old man could handle a spade. Just like his old man.

Digging by Seamus Heaney

My grandfather cut more turf in a day Than any other man on Toner’s bog. Once I carried him milk in a bottle Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up To drink it, then fell to right away Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods Over his shoulder, going down and down For the good turf. Digging.

The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.

Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I’ll dig with it.
