In this weeks class the group was introduced to online identity. I think we all were a bit apprehensive as to what extend this meant that nothing we have ever done so far online is, or have been private. It is frightening to learn that people who use the internet daily is not aware of the lack of privacy they have when using the internet. Logging onto a web page of own interest is recorded to others benefit to send adverts to your email account as spam and even if we are not extremely careful identity fraud. Personally I have had a Myspace account as well as a Facebook account, but after I began this course I have deleted my Myspace account as I got frightened that other people would use my writings and personal information. However, as explained in the course even that does not equal that external users/hackers misuse the information I put on the site in the first place. So what is private?? Have we lost our privacy by the evolvement of the technological revolution? Can we trust anyone we meet online? Well the truth is that we can’t and as we are still learning about the internet and how to protect ourselves working online is a rocky road with lots of things to be aware of. This World Wide Web which I thought was so familiar is now a completely new world for me. A world I am keen to explore and get to know. Bring it on!!
