Just because you’re online behind the monitor

It doesn’t mean that you’re safe.

Being online is just like driving a car. It doesn’t mean that being inside the car won’t get you into a serious injury if you drive racklessly. When you’re surfing a website, you leave detailed information about your computer and your history. Computer viruses also plays a role in stealing your information and sending them to strangers.

Also, just because you think you’re using emails and don’t install anything you got from your email, it doens’t mean that you’re safe. sometimes, if you have stupid friends who would simply forward any emails with your email address in them, be prepared for SPAM… Lots of spams.

I don’t get it why some people are so careless when it comes to downloading files from the internet. Just because Torrents are easy to download nowadays doesn’t mean you can just simply pick a file and download. Ever heard of people being sued and sent to jail?

Sigh…

I still think nerds rule sometimes…
