Week 2, Task 4 - Internet Safety

There is a lot of good information here, and it will take some time to digest it all. I think the most important advice is to post only what you want to share with the world. Once a photo or comment is made, it is impossible to retrieve it. This information is especially timely for those with children or teens still at home. Although my children are adults, and very savvy about internet use, the dangers are very real. I find myself just not accessing certain sites or offers just because I want to guard my personal email address and other information. Many free coupon offers and other sites of this nature are just smoke screens for obtaining emails to sell to spammers and other businesses.
