Reflections

In the past few weeks I have learned quite a few things about internet safety and ID theft, and this new information will change my current behavior. It sounds silly to say that a computers class can change the way you do things on the internet, but now that i am aware of the intentions of some people out there I now know that not every website or person is safe. A person that seems decent today could turn into your worst nightmare tomorrow. As sad of a thing it is to say, some websites are out to take your information so the predators behind it can spend and destroy your life savings. All these examples are reasons why i'm reflecting on my past decisions and now know how lucky i was to not have all of my information in someone else's hands. Similarly to identity theft, internet predators are on the internet's chat rooms twenty-four-seven to find the perfect victim. They will pretend to be someone your age and go through a process so they can find your location, and then take you.
