In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

As our world continues to move forward in technology and innovation, often times huge change happens before we can adequately prepare ourselves for all the responsibility that goes with technology. Our society uses personal cell phones as our new wallet. Our pictures, personal information, financial information and several methods of communication all at our fingertips. As a student you must guard yourself against letting others have access to your written thoughts and images. Your online self can easily be downloaded and easily be, as Richard Guerry calls it "Public and Permanent". Be responsible and live with this thought in mind. Use technology, but use it responsibly. Treat others with respect and dignity- you are not anonymous online! Protect your image and contemplate your written words.
