  1. Privacy is such a huge issue because people have become so comfortable with exposing their personal information without thinking that there are people dedicated to spying and lurking. Most social networking sites also tend to mark your location, which people tend to forget. Even with the privacy options available, there are always loop-holes to them. Because so many people use new media, it would be difficult for techs company to keep privacy and confidentiality up to date.

Here is my so-called, "Bitmoji" which associated with Snapchat the disappearing image sender.  I downloaded the Bimoji app and started to customize my avatar by going through an array of selections such as gender, hair style, facial structure, clothes, skin color, eye size, and I also was able to position my Bitmoji holding a drink by choosing from a selection of other styles and positions. Now I can use this instead of a traditional emoji.  I am sure most students would upload their Bitmjoi on their assignment as its the most trending in the avatar circle.
