Accountability in a wired world

I have not posted for sometime, however, felt the need today to share a thought regarding a story I viewed today. This growing trend is simply disturbing to me.

The following video, from the Today show on 12-12-08, illustrates a growing trend of irresponsible behaviors of teens and young adults as it relates to the use of the internet and what they post for all to see.




What are your thoughts? How can we make a difference in our circle of influence with measures of accountability? Do we hold ourselves accountable? Do we support decisions where others are held accountable? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts and comments!

Do you think that if there were more measures of accountability our economy would be where it is? Do you think our concerns and needs to address the climate changes and environment would be the same? Would we have bail-out program, after bail-out program being proposed? Would we have state governors taking bribes for senate seats?

I think there is a major issue in our society today with measures of accountability? Are there appropriate, positive and negative, consequences for our actions?

Hmmm... many thoughts to ponder...
