class blog 2

Are we alone?
Our kids love to chat on-line...mostly because it seems like they are away from prying adult eyes. But just how "alone" are they?Do you feel like the Internet is private? Who do you think can / is watching us?I dont think that the internet is private. We think it is but if we are not computer savvy we can fall prey to more then we know. I was aware about spyware but something that I became aware of recently is this thing called fishing . The spelling on it could be wrong. But apprently alot of big companies do this. They have what are called fishes that latches on to you and follows you to what ever site you are on so that they are able to see what you are viewing. Of course its to help them market them selves better to the general population. I found it has made me more aware of just what I go on.
