Internet Safety (Week 2: #4)

There are times when I come across a blog of someone I know personally and surprised to find how much personal infomation they put on there. It's ok to share some information but not all. Some people put their entire schedule up for people to see, that's a good way for someone to know exactly when and where you'll be so they can rob you or worse. When I blog, I put my opinions and my frustrations and my privacy settings are specifically restricted to my friends. If I don't know them personally then they won't be able to gain access to my blog. This is different however... this is a public one which I will censor for the desired public. In regards to children and parents and internet safety. It's important that parents supervise their young children even when they are on gaming websites. Gaming websites have a chat capability allowing members to converse with each other during game play. Those who play XBOX360 can chat using a microphone during play as well. Much like the real world, the internet has its own dangers and should be used with the safety know how. Phishing websites, online predators, and even the annoying spam are a nuisance. If you are careful with your personal information, then your safety isn't at risk and you can enjoy the blogging community just like everyone else does.
