When I first saw this video by Radiohead, I felt so thankful because we don't have to suffer unlike those children working in China. We don't have to spend our day making shoes and suffering child labour. We are able to wake up from our comfy beds, eat a full meal and go to school. The events shown in this video suits the song's soothing and sad tune.
Child labour is presented by the media to show all viewers how tough the life of a child can be. This video is based on issues in China, where child labour is common everywhere. 'All I Need' shows how the children are too poor to afford to go to school and have a warm home to live in. The message is for us to be thankful for how blessed and wonderful our lives are right now. Radiohead has made this video to show all viewers how lucky we are.
The storyline in this video is very basic. It shows the daily routines and life comparing the poor children in China and the life that we live. The song lyrics "all I need" show how the children can live with such basic needs. It also tells us that we don't need many material things and complications in our life. All we need is the simple things to live our lives.
Radiohead is one of my favourite bands to listen to when I'm feeling sad because it calms my mood with the soft soothing beats. Each video by Radiohead is very unique and meaningful compared to other videos. Not many bands would use music video's to show our world issues, which is why I respect Radiohead so much. Radiohead has definetly found a great way to show their meaning in their song and portrayed it in their video 'All I Need'.

The Social Networking
Facebook is a very powerful online social networking that is used by more than 200 countries in the world. Many of our friends and family make Facebook to interact and keep in touch with each other. I use this website daily myself to view my friends photo's and profiles. Facebook can be a great entertainment but also dangerous in many ways.
Almost anyone in the world could view your information if it was not protected by users. Many stalkers or advertisers would be able to access your information and do anything they wanted with it. Some people may think, "oh that's alright, it's just a simple picture!". This one picture could potentially be sent all over the world and saved on computers. Who knows what people would do with your picture? They could also post your picture anywhere they wanted and on any website which could be seen by anyone.
The internet is just like walking out of your house, many dangerous things can happen. If you do not control your privacy many wrong things can happen with your information. Although, there are ways to protect your information, especially on Facebook. Most websites have options that allow you to limit who can view your profile and what information they can see from you.
Personally, I do not like to post much information or photos on Facebook, so I limit who can access my profile and also who can view my photos. Also, I would not post personal contact information on any social networking website because anyone could potentially access the information.
When you're information is safely taken care of, social network sites can be really fun and entertaining! There's no need to be scared of stalkers if your information is safe. So go out there and enjoy social networking!
