The internet has exploded into our lives. It is utilized in almost every aspect our of lives. The markets check our product purchase through an internet system. They verify that the card (note, not cash or check) is valid and that the funds are available. But it also opens all of our personal information to everyone approved by that company to process our purchase. Scary, isn't it?
We no longer have an expectation of privacy. In this paperless society, our personal information is available to anyone we submit our cards to. Our information is passed from one marketer to another when it is sold to anyone that is willing to purchase it. We have no idea who it might be sold to or how they intend to use it. Spams are suppose to be an unacceptable act; however, I get as many spams from my ISP as I do from those who purchased my information. So, why do we think we can stop spams? We have blockers on our computers and still a majority of my e-mails are spams and most are posted onto my e-mails daily. So, what so you think? Can we control this majic box that has become such a major part of our lives? Let me hear your views. |

How do you trace down a scam artist if the internet doesn't have virtual police to trace and prosocute offenders. The main target we have discoverd has been to our children. They have fun with unknoown enemies on the internet, then they get talked into a face to face meeting. Our childern are not wise enough to realize the danger they put themselves in. I got scamed and I'm nearing sixty, how can we expect our childen to recognize the scams, if the adults can't. |
