3. In order to protect myself of physical
dangers online, the only real solution to
the problem would be not putting
anything personal about my physical
whereabouts on the internet. Examples
of this type of information would be
things such as your address, your
phone number, where you work, where
you go to school, or where you like to
hang out. Not putting this information in
the Internet will help prevent from
identity theft or from people that could
possibly be out to hurt you in any shape
form or fashion. If anyone were to ever
get their hands on this type of
information, they could potentially take
your mail and get even more personal
information from you. They could also
possibly steal from your home or even
hurt you personally. Just keep this
information to yourself.
4. When posting personal things about
your life or things that are going on in
your life on the internet, there are many
harms that could come to your
emotions. When posting something
about your day, say on your Facebook,
your employer or possible future
employer could possibly see it and find
that it is very negative and that you may
not be emotionally stable enough to
handle the position that you are in or
that you may be applying for. This will
lead to stress from not having a job,
depression from not acquiring the
position you wanted, and also
resentment. All of these could then lead
you to write on your Facebook again
which is still hindering you from getting
that job you wanted. There also may be
a negative remark that someone has to
say about what you wrote which could
harm your self esteem.
5. When it comes to financial security on
the internet, there are multiple ways to
have your financial information spread
across the internet. When buying things
on the internet, make sure that you are
very wary with what website you buy
items off of. There are certain websites
that ask for ‘donations’ that are actually
out to get your credit card number. They
can take your card number and take
money from your account or they could
sell it to someone who will to the same
thing or take your identity. Make sure
that the website you are buying items
off of is a legit site that is part of a large
franchise or that has a lot of positive
feedback from its customers. If there is
not enough information on the website
you are wanting to buy from, then I
suggest finding the item on a different
website to avoid identity or financial
theft.
6. Many of the things that I learned from my research on this
subject are how important it is to have correct internet protection
precautions. There are so many easy ways to have your
personal and financial information taken from you over the
internet that being overly precautious is not a bad idea like it is
in so many other aspects of life. Also affecting you
emotionally, the internet can cause more than harm just to your
finances. It can bring harm to you physically or even
emotionally. When surfing the internet, or shopping for
clothes, or talking to your friends on Facebook or
twitter, practicing internet protection is probably the smartest
decision you can make. Do not put personal information on the
web. Do not buy things off of sketchy websites that you have
never heard of before. And finally, do not post personal feelings
or talk about your life on your personal pages. If you avoid these
few simple steps, you should be able to avoid internet fraud or
bad consequences when using the internet.
7. If you follow these
easy instructions to
protect yourself from
online dangers, then I
am positive that no
harm will come to you.
