What a day! You're out with your friends at the mall, then at the water park, then at a concert. You're also sharing this awesomeness on Facebook and Twitter by uploading photos on the go. But there's something wrong with this picture. Did you know that sharing your photos can be dangerous, especially when you do it from a smartphone? Here's why: Most smartphones use technology that tracks your exact location at all times. This is helpful when you're trying to get directions to the water park on a map, but it could get you into trouble when it comes to your photos. Many smartphones attach a little piece of information to every picture that tells exactly where the picture was taken and when. This is called Geotagging, and when you share a photo, your location is included with it.

One good way for parents and their kids to communicate is for the kids to show their parents what they are doing on the Internet.
