PART 1
Read the following text by Kashmir Hill, a technology journalist.

“What your smart devices know (and share) about you”

By Kashmir Hill, Technology Journalist
So, for my birthday last year, my husband got me an Amazon Echo. I was kind of shocked,
actually, because we both work in privacy and security. And this was a device that would sit
1. in the middle of our home with a microphone on, constantly listening. We’re not alone,
though. According to a survey by NPR and Edison Research, one in six American adults
now has a smart speaker, which means that they have a virtual assistant at home. That is
absolutely crazy. The future, or the future dystopia, is getting here fast.
Beyond that, companies are offering us all kinds of internet-connected devices. There are
smart lights, smart locks, smart toilets, smart toys. Being smart means the device can
connect to the internet, it can gather data, and it can talk to its owner. But once your
appliances can talk to you, who else are they going to be talking to? I wanted to find out, so I
went all the way and turned my one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco into a smart
home. I even connected our bed to the internet. As far as I know, it was just measuring our
sleeping habits. I can now tell you that the only thing worse than getting a terrible night’s
sleep is to have your smart bed tell you the next day that you “missed your goal and got a
low sleep score.”
All together, I installed 18 internet-connected devices in my home. I monitored everything
the smart home did. I built a special router that let me look at all the network activity. You
can think of my router sort of like a security guard, compulsively logging all the network
information as it entered and left the smart home. We ran the experiment for two months. In
those two months, there wasn’t a single hour of digital silence in the house not even when
we went away for a week.

SCRIPT
PART A
Hi, everyone! It’s me, Adam and Top Teen 9 has asked
me to talk to you about social media. You know all about
it, right? There are the big companies like Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter that are all big platforms called social
media.
Social media has basically taken over almost every
aspect of everyday life for a lot of people, so we should
think about the vocabulary that you might need in order to
be able to talk about social media or understand people
who are speaking about social media. After all, we have
to be on the same page when we speak about this really
important topic, right?
So, the first thing I want to look at is the people you need
to know about who are on social media and who affect
everyday social media use. So, the first thing I want to
talk about is Twitter and tweeter, okay? Twitter is a big
platform where you can send ideas, you can post short
messages, photos and videos. And when you send out
anything on Twitter, it is called a tweet; it is the message
or the picture or video that you send out.
And a person who uses Twitter is called a tweeter, okay?
Someone who tweets. If someone is talking about a
tweeter, they are talking about a person.
Anyone who makes videos on YouTube is a youtuber.
Now, generally speaking, when we talk about youtubers,
we’re talking about who has a lot of subscribers, or a lot
of followers, watching their videos. Right now, there are
millions of people making YouTube videos, you can’t call
all of them youtubers. The ones who are a bit more well
known are youtubers. You know them, the ones that we
like to subscribe to because they’ve got great content.
Now, someone on YouTube or Instagram or Facebook or
other social media sites are platforms where people can
engage each other.
So, a person on a social media platform and who is very,
very popular and has many people following and many
subscribers, we call this person an influencer because
they influence people in some way. Some people say
“YouTube star”, star, okay, because they may be very
popular, but the most important word is influencer,
because this person has the power to influence a lot of
other people. And that’s how they make their money.
Advertisers and a lot of big companies try to get in touch
with these influencers, even pay them, to help them
promote a product or sell a product or an event or
information.
So, when you think about social media, don’t just think
about the social network, remember the people behind it
all!

A fashion content creator from New Jersey, USA,
Francesca is a budding teen influencer with a total of
3,343 followers across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Fashion Studies and minoring in Pre-Law – with a goal to
become a fashion attorney and/or start her own clothing
line. Talk about a girl who knows what she wants and is
working to make it happen! She has a bright Instagram
page! Francesca brings to life her wish to “add a pop of
positivity to uplift anyone who may need it” through her
choice of bright colours, infectious smiles and

influencer is already working really hard to sell fashion
through popular online shopping sites. She’s partnered
with ThirdLove, a clothing company, Case Co, an ethical
phone accessories company, and a few others. She’s
partnering with brands across different industries yet her
content still flows and makes sense. Francesca dreams
