Privacy on the internet

In class we read an article from the office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.The article presented a fictional school with fictional students and how those students who were very irresponsible with their information. It showed various different possible situations where the students information was violated,because of their false sense of security.By the end of the article the students finally understood that their information show have more security.After reading this article I think my information is largely secure.It is important to have strong privacy settings because someone will use it to embarrass someone publicly or use your information to blackmail.No information would online would be ideal,but unlikely because most people who live in the First World have someone line footprint.Being safe online will be and important issue in the future for adolescents.                    
                                                        Everyday Privacy
This article confirmed what I already knew.It shows how various different online users ranging form "shady people "to police or corporations are interested in your information for various purposes.Someone could be monitored at their favorite coffee shop or at home.Most of the information presented in the article wasn't surprising because after watching documentaries and reading articles in this class and also including my own personal research on this topic,I wasn't surprised which entities were interested in someone"s information.
