Reflection Blog Week 6

Internet security is a very hot topic for me. Okay, so my training and standards are probably a lot stricter than most people would say is reasonable, but I was in the military and they kind of take that sort of thing seriously.

It helps that I'm kind of a private, introverted person anyway and have always been in the habit of not sharing much of anything truly personal about myself.

Which is not to say that I haven't broken some of the rules, from time to time. I've traveled across the country both directions to meet people in real life that I met on the Internet, but it wasn't a spur of the moment thing and I wouldn't recommend it for just anyone to try.

It's not impossible to meet perfectly nice people on the Internet. But not everyone surfing the web is as friendly and innocuous as your neighbors, either. It takes some caution—which, frankly, in today's world is just as important offline as on.

But that's a topic for another blog, I think. :)
