Internet Safety (hee hee!)
Ok, Ok, perhaps I'm a bit blase, because I've been around the net a couple bazillion times, but I don't really worry a lot about security. My home network is secure, I don't put financial information into a web app that isn't secured (just look for the little padlock!) Yes, I know sometimes they do fail, but, ya know what? I've been shopping and paying bills online for prolly about 6 years now, and never once have I been hacked for my financial info. However!! I've had to change debit cards twice because of using my card at a stone and mortar store BJ's (like Costco and Sam's Club) because employees were stealing the cc info. So which is more secure? The plain fact of the matter is you're just as much at risk handing your card to that clerk in the grocery store, as you are going to Amazon, perhaps a bit more so at the grocery store, because most of the financial transactions online are handled by computers, whereas, in the store, multiple people have access to your information. As for stalkers, pervs, etc., again, they're going to find you if they want to, whether it be online, at the store, washing the car, walking the dog. I think some good common sense should prevail here, and there wouldn't be as many issues as have been reported. Besides that, what would the tv news shows have to do special segments on, if there weren't so many reports of id theft??
Well, here we go!
Well, here goes the blogging. I've never been particularly attracted to it, I've thought about it a few times, as is evidenced by the fact that I actually set up this account at Blogger in 2006. Ok, ok, so it took me a while to post something... shoot me already! As far as learning, and what I've had issues with so far in this iHCPL series, nothing really 8-) I just can't register yet through Harriet, as I'm blogging from home, on my trusty dusty laptop. (And it really is dusty, seems like its a dust magnet, although I'm attached to it for most of my time at home!)
