Cyber Privacy


Blog time again. As most things pretty much turned computer-based /networked, our physical labor places shift significantly. Network indeed makes our life a lot easier. If you still find someone who doesn’t share /download, shop or even vent on the internet, you are talking to a wrong species. However, while virtual collaborations dramatically ease our life, problems also occur, like nefarious uses of private information resources.

As much as I love internet shopping, privacy somewhat becomes the biggest concern. As we’ve learned in class, many companies only send out little samples or coupons in order to retain buyer’s loyalty. The story lies behind: to achieve possessing customer profile, updating mailing list, etc, shoppers’ information have already been shared and passed on to other cooperators.
Therefore, in order to protect ourselves from being violated or any kind of fraud or tort, we hafta learn cyber privacy ahead of time. Read terms and conditions before we click on ‘accept’, be aware of hidden catches and be considerate while using public computers. Also, to understand privacy better, I’m thinking the only way is to read more and always be prepared.
