Identity


For this week's Tech Corner I will be discussing Identity and Security on the internet. I decided I also wanted to blog a bit about the identity part since it is such an interesting topic.

It amazes me how far technology has come in just my lifetime which makes me wonder where it's going to be in the next 20 or so years. The internet is a strange phenom because you can be whoever you want to be. People who you maybe knew in high school and are friends with on facebook can portray themselves in a completely different light. In other words your internet you can be completely different then the real you.

Identity fraud is also becoming more common due to people using the internet in more ways; people putting personal information on social websites, banking online, and other things that even 10 years ago was unheard of. Just because internet and its usage is growing doesn't mean that people should be less cautious of the information that the put out there.
