Protecting Personal Data On The Internet

You should always set up your web browser using other than your real name and real e-mail address.  Be careful to clean out your cookies file. These can let others know what web sites you visited and how long you were on there and what information you viewed.  Don't accept every 'friend' request.  If you don't recognize the person, don't 'friend' them.  Also, don't give out personal information in exchange for money or some prize.  Often these are just marketing scams and before you know it, hundreds of sites may have your information.

Chairless Chair



The chairless chair is a new concept from the manufactures of Audi cars. It's leather wrapped, plastic infused carbon fiber and has hydraulically controlled joints . The  "chair" is  worn at the back of  legs and is held in place by straps at the hips, knees and ankles. In addition  to making the assembly worker more comfortable Audi hopes to improve health and decease absenteeism. At the present time there are only three prototypes but Audi intends to expand into all their plants.

The Importance of Safe Passwords

Having a safe and secure password is important for many reasons. Probably the most important reason is to protect your personal information.  Hackers enjoy creating mayhem for ordinary people like you and me.  Hackers don't just break into banks, government facilities and motion picture studios.  They can access our bank accounts, information about our health and other private documents.  In other words, they steal our identity.  In some cases, it can take years to recover from the effects of being hacked. That's just a little incite on safe passwords for more go to http://geekbeat.tv/why-password-security-is-so-important/ until next time bye guys! :)

Stop Block Tell

Here are some tips to use if you ever experience cyber bullying.  One of the most important things to know is to not respond to whatever it is that you have received.  Take the received item (video, text, picture, etc.) to your mother/father or trusted adult.  I recommend that you block or delete the bully that is sending you these things from your accounts/contacts.  Remember to not take these messages that you receive to heart, that is what the sender is wanting to happen.  Most importantly is to not take matters into your own hands and try to solve the problem yourself.

Has communication become impersonal with teens?




I do think that communication has gotten impersonal , because you cant go anywhere and not see a group of people on there phone while hanging out with each other. The communication level has gone down sense cell phones have been created and it allowed kids my age to grow up to text. Not talking on the phone gets more and more common , some people have gotten rid of there home phone all together and the only way you can get a hold of them is text because they wont answer their phone. If you ask me the main reason I think sell phones are useful is if you child stays after school and or walk home , so just in case the need to call 911 and to let their parents they got home. In closing I think communication has gone down and became impersonal.
