Impact of the Action
The impact we had was showing other people the effects of cyber-bulling and how to address it.

== Reflection about the Action and the Digiteen Project ==

Before making the video, I researched Technical Access and awareness, Health. I concentrated on computer addiction and its negative affects. I had already had known about the physical affects on you for using the computer continually, but not as much the emotional effects. The physical effects of continually using the computer are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is shooting pain in the wrists. Another problem is strained eye vision, and some others are back, neck, and headaches. The computer does help relive feelings of anxiety, depression, or stress but other problems can come though using the computer. Many sites can easily allow people to lie about themselves. If you get into a relationship with them and them find out who they really are, it will be very sad and disappointing. Adding this onto the painful physical effects, it is better to relive your feelings by exercising, meditating, or doing breathing exercises. The video helped me learn how to deal with cyber-bulling and how it can hurt someone.
