We're going to talk about social media, because there's a lot of things going on with social media. You guys are really putting, I think, personally, much, way too much information out there. Now, I'm not saying social media is bad. What you're looking at is a form of social media right now, but you guys have to learn to be careful with your information and what you put out there. So, before we get into social media and this episode, I want to introduce you to our new studio.

So, with that, without further ado, get into tonight's episode.

Speaker 1: 2:06

So I was checking on some of these social media websites and social media websites are they all list terms and conditions? And yeah, I'm jumping right into this thing because you know, a lot of people are just not reading the terms and conditions. The terms and conditions, I mean, you're just giving yourself away, you're giving everything away. You're giving your rights to your voice, your photos, your pictures. It becomes I hope y'all know it becomes the property of that social media site. On some of them you have to take the time and listen. If you're going to be putting your family's pictures out there, if you're going to be putting kids' pictures out there, your baby's pictures, your aunt, your mom's, your uncle, your sister, you know, take the time to figure out and to read the terms and conditions and see if this is something you really want to do. People can follow you, track you. We've had several situations where people were trapped by social media posts and we don't need that sort of thing happening. We want to take advantage of social media. When the internet first came out, I always said this is great. Now the sky's the limit for every entrepreneur that wants to make something of itself or sell his business, because you have access now to the entire world. You can access people in China, japan, wherever you have access to the entire world.

Speaker 1: 3:57

So let's take a look at what is going on with social media and let's not put so much valuable information out there. Okay, so we're going to have to go with part two on this, and I want you guys to understand that there are websites out there, there's people out there, there's companies out there that are paying for your image. They're paying for the likes of you. Okay, yeah, I know you feel that if you put your image out there, okay, you know it's you, but there are companies out there and there's software out there that will take your image and blow it up to. They can take your image, let's say, the image of your child. Take an image of your child. They can enhance and upgrade that image to show what a person would look like.

Speaker 1: 5:21

I think you guys know they are on the social media websites to show what a person would look like 20 years later, with that being said, if someone took an image of aess of your child enhanced 20 years later. And you'll never know, because your child is only what? Two years old, five years old, three years old. We got to think outside the box, guys. We got to understand the technology that's being used out here. We have to understand what these people and this software is capable of doing and how much and how valuable your image, your likeness, your voice, your singing is worth, how viable it is to who knows what type of company. Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye.
