What I found most surprising in this unit is the fact that we are progressing so quickly with our technology. I never truly realized just how fast we're evolving in the digital world. No information was too difficult to find in this unit for me. I think it depends on the type of average lifestyle a person in that specific community lives. If they are all tech-interested people, then yes, they should have fast internet speed if they'd like - they can be more connected that way too, which is good. But if they're more of the outdoors-type-of-living people, or dislike technology and internet and those types of things, then it does not matter how quickly they're internet speeds are - since they won't be using it much.
When it comes to sharing material online, I am concerned for my own privacy - I think everyone should be. To prevent your material, personal or not, from being invaded, I think you should find yourself a good company (carrier) or system that can help with the protection of those things. Either that, or make sure you are extremely careful with what you post, share, or save.
I do worry that what I posted/did/said online as a kid (and even right now in this moment in time) might come back & "bite" me. In the future, and possibly now, there will be many many people out there who will look at my past & present digital-footprints. Though that scares me, I can do nothing about it. It's hard to say if it will get me in trouble in the future.
In my opinion, the biggest issue when it comes to younger people being online and sharing/posting, is the fact that they have no idea just exactly how much trouble it could quite possibly get them into in the near or far future. They should be educated on this a lot more - especially considering each day more and more kids are adapting and evolving with all of this technology.
