The surge of digital media and social networking together with the increasing amount of sensitive data being stored online brought Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerburg, to claim that "
people no longer have an expectation of privacy". A lot of us trod around the internet on a daily basis. However, many of us are not aware that as we do so, we can leave our digital footprints; wether it be through the information we publish, the sites we visit, or the files we share.
Think of this then, as having to live in the Big Brother House. Only, this time, you have so much more at stake rather than just the grand prize. Scary, huh?
But even though privacy is not anymore considered to be a "social norm", it still is very much desired among active users of the World Wide Web. Still, much contemplation and extra precaution must be taken when it comes to securing our personal computer data.
This blog is a class project for one of my major subjects, Communication Technology. Through this blog, and in 21 posts, I hope to share with you the what's, why's, when's and how's in being mindful as far as digital security is concerned.
So stay tuned, yes?
