Supplemental Info for Chapter 1

Regarding question 3 on being a better computer user and consumer:
  • Protecting your privacy and perhaps your future career - Facebook and MySpace Mistakes
  • E-Mail Scams and Phishing - Take the Quiz
  • What about privacy with your cell phones? Can people intercept your calls, text messages, etc? Check out this ad for Cell Phone Spy Package
  • Wired magazine, Feb 2009 - How Your Phone Became the Always-On, Location-Aware Tool of the Future. We will look at this more in a later chapter so for now, just give some thought to the iPhone app called WhosHere which allows you find people nearby you for oh lets see a cup of coffee, a date, etc; and the eye-fi wi-fi card for your cameras/phones that will automatically upload your photos to your computer, you social networks, etc along with the location of where the photo was taken... see any problems??
