Cartoon – ‘Facing the Consequences’ #SocialMedia
As I browse through the web I often find content and posts that are really really good. Many of them I Tweet about (@hopkinsdavid) and some I think are so good I want to ‘preserve’ by adding to my blog.
This is one of them.
I have done a fair amount of reading and research around the use of Social Media and Social Networks by students that this will not come as any surprise to my loyal readers that the cartoon below, created by Flea Palmer, called “Facing the consequences… a social networking horror story!”
Enjoy … and it’s best viewed full-screen.
This is what Flea says about the cartoon:
“The storyboard (above) was created using the excellent Toonlet, a free ‘web comic blogging’ tool, although I confess I cheated and also modified some of the panels using Photoshop.”
I have started looking at Toonlet and will let you know how I get on in a later post, but so far it’s looking fun.
This is definitely an important post. I am amazed at the amount of information shared online by people. It always kills me when people post stuff like “I am away on vacation for 3 weeks from my house in Virginia. Oh by the way, I live at 3345 Mockingbird lane and I just purchased 3 iMacs last week. Aren’t we lucky?” A little tongue in cheek, ok. But people really do post TMI sometimes.
I just wanted to say thankyou for such a complimentary post – I’m really pleased you’ve found this useful and have been inspired to look at toonlet. Just to let you know, ‘Facing the consequences’ is now also available as a movie – see http://tinyurl.com/5rffucc I would be interested to know what you think… Thanks again, Flea :o)
Hello Mr. Hopkins
I am in Dr. Strange’s EDM310 class at the University of South Alabama and I was assigned to comment on your blog. I am studying to be a teacher. I really liked the cartoon. It was so true. People put to much personal information on the internet and little do they know they are leaving a technological background.
