Help! I can't find my IPhone!-11

I own an IPhone. When I first got it I lost it all the time. Not even realizing it, I would leave my phone places. When I would finally realize that it was gone I always became frantic but I would eventually find it in an obvious place. When my mom got her IPhone she left it in my car with the doors unlocked. Of course someone stole it but luckily for us, we had the “Find My IPhone” app. It located her phone and we were able to get it back within a couple of days. I can see where this could raise some questions about privacy, but just like the man in the video said you are the only one with access to this app. If you lose your phone, you are the one with the ability to find it. I think it was cool that he used social media as a way of helping him find his phone as well. We can relate that to our previous conversations about social media. It is becoming something bigger even to the point of helping someone you just follow on twitter find his or her lost item. These can all raise questions of privacy but if you know the people you are following and can regulate these things it shouldn’t be that big of a problem. I feel like a lot of cyber stalking comes from within your friend group. I was cyber bullied when I was in middle school. It ended up being one of my best friends. I was so hurt but I didn’t realize how many people are bullied like this every day. It’s a scary thought but that’s why privacy is so important, especially on social media sites where you are posting so much about your life.
