net safety

I found the speaker on Internet safety very interesting. I learned a the dangers of using the Internet. even though i think that i use the Internet responsibly I did not know how at risk i am at some times. I did not know that when using wireless Internet people could see what you were doing, and access your files. the scariest part for me was learning that when you are on a network of Internet; which I currently am, that people can look into my document files. after this presentation i went home and removed my document that had all of my passwords in it. I always thought i was being safe in terms of keeping my identity safe. I do not carry my social security card around, nor do I give it out unless it is for something very official like a government document. I now know that even with this i am still susceptible to identify theft or stalking by the information that people can obtain without ever meeting me. I am now more careful with my internet usage and sensitive material i allow others to know.
