Prospective Tech-no game- Fresh

Prospective Tech-no game!

I can honestly recall a time when I had to do my own college research, all of the ups and downs included. All of these Google ads are so misleading, say I would Google a small college then I click on what school I like and it would just instantly send me straight to an Ivy League school, or a big university’s web site. That’s where the fraudulence comes into play, the falseness of advertising. Personally I feel as though you cannot trust the internet anymore now and days. As a current college student I am majoring in Legal studies and I just recently did a court case involving the four “traditional” invasions of privacy torts and the common law. Say u go onto a website that may have you fill out your name, address, telephone number, likes dislikes in what college u wish to go to and what major you are interested in…once you press that SUBMIT button it gets hacked by other college advertising companies, that when u expect a list of colleges you asked for to come in the mail, u get the total opposite.

Let not just focus on the false College advertising for a minute, not only does colleges and their search engines mislead you, you also get other ads daily on the internet , like this morning I wanted to play a game online and a “you won a prize of an xbox360!” popped up. Silly of me I click on it. Every ad u see can have a downfall somewhat, that’s why you have to wear a safe guard every time you are online, and if you click on the wrong thing u may get a virus.

Thanking God above I did not get too much screwed over on my college research, my high school actually had a college placement center for all juniors and seniors. That’s how I was introduced to the greatest school ever. Some schools do not do enough advertising to prove their greatness or put their college on the storefront window. I actually like that I never came across Champlain College in my research. If it was not for my high schools college placement I would have been a lost soul going to a college that I barely knew, but it seemed as though I was really wanted because they sent me a lot of mail weekly. I am happy, because I wore my safe guard researching.
