Internet Safety



Internet Security Video 





When  " Googling" myself on the Internet I  can't help but get a knot in the pit of my stomach.My

worst nightmare flashes through my mind. My Wells Fargo bank account balance and  account

 number pop up on the screen or the images from last weekend's amazing  party with an image 

of me drinking from  a gigantic keg of beer. Private and personal things get posted about 

people without their consent all the time on the web. This is just a sad fact of living in the digital 

age. 

In regards to the Google of myself, there were only two the pages that were actually "me". 

These are highlighted in red. One is my Linked In account and the other is my Face book 

account. These two accounts I feel very comfortable with anyone viewing. 

The type of content that is on the web about you can really help or hinder your professional

 career as well as your personal life  . It is not the quantity of the content that can help you or hurt 


you but the quality.We as users of the internet need to watch the quality of our digital content.  


When I say quality I mean specifically "good"  quality like and online resume or " bad" quality 


like a image of you severely intoxicated at a fraternity party.The type of quality content can help 


career prospects on the web or be  detrimental to them.
