Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.

Safety. In an age like today, nothing is more important than online safety. Anti-virus software, up to date security system, and lets not forget the most important thing, common sense. On sites like facebook, please wait to post pictures from vacation, never post anything on one. Keep your whits about you. On sites like roblox, or proboards, unless you know the person in real life, don't give away any information. E-mail, phone, name, none of it. Trust no one about anything involving your life. You could never know who is watching. Avoid programs that haven't been trusted. Even if they are, scan them just to be safe. You never know what type of virus could be trying to hitch a ride into your computer, and take important information. Last of all, avoid unknown sites, for who knows what type of virus could be hiding within the site.
