Flickr is a good tool to use for school work, and in general. Usually i think me (and most people) if we need an image, go to google and search the web. But a cool thing about flickr is that they are usually more unique, royalty-free, and of a higher quality. its a great tool for any computer classes reltaed to my studies, because you cannot violate copyright laws in the "real world" a downfall about flickr is that it is not very specific. what i mean by that is that it would be hard to find images using flickr for lets say, An athlete or musician, or anything "specific". Dont get me wrong, i know you can, its just not nearly as many as you would find if you were using Google images. As far as privacy concerns, i really wouldnt put anything on the internet that i wouldnt want people to see. so i wouldnt have to worry about it, and i really dont think alot of people do. Personally i have used google images for as long as i can remember, and still will; however, i do like flickr and will probably use it in the future.
