Final Online Privacy Blog - MGMT 3601

The ideas and concepts in this class have been extremely interesting and captivating for me personally. I understand that as our technology grows so will our network, allowing people to contact each other in new ways all the time. The idea of a network has been discussed in a positive light for the most part in our entire class because we have all seen its benefits personally. Our generation has been using computers for as long as we can remember and children still continue learning to use electronic devices at younger ages ever year. This concept has lead to people creating Facebook profiles for their children and creating a online identity for them before they have even become old enough to speak. I personally believe that we are going to become so intertwined in our online identities and networks that we will become uninterested with our actual reality. For some this is already true, many people lead different or more exciting lives on the internet than they do in real life. Whether they create a famous blog, youtube video, website, fake Facebook account or any other form of online identity, the individual is become less of an offline identity. This could also relate to the way that hacktivists work and still have day jobs when they are not hacking. Hacktivism is another subject I have further expanded my knowledge on because of this class. I feel like there is so much that could be covered in this class that it is difficult to contain it all in one semester. I have now written 10 blogs on online privacy and could definitely keep writing more on the subject because it never stops changing. The main thing I have learned from our information network is that you can never be too safe on the internet or believe everything you see.
