Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
The importance of online safety is so people don't find you online, figure out a bunch of information on you and then come to kill you or steal or identity and etc. As for protecting your information, you want to keep the very personal things off the internet, because once it is there it will never go away. Things that I do to keep myself safe is following the basic guidelines that we were taught when we were young kids, like no talking to people you don't know and if you do no giving out personal information. Also for Web 2.0 safety, i think twice before i will post anything and make sure it would be okay and safe to post. An experience that my cousin had, was once he was online and he was playing some game that you could play and then talk to other players. He told me that some person was talking to him and asking him somewhat personal questions. At that point he was getting a bit suspicious and was not telling much of the truth to the person. After that he deleted his account, for the fear of someone hacking him. In my opinion he handled it decently well, and pretty much followed the rules of online safety.
