Gump Knows Internet Privacy

        "Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So then I got a call from him, saying we don't have to worry about money no more. And I said, that's good! One less thing." Forrest Gump and technology go hand in hand. Of course Forrest was talking about an Apple computer. With todays grand age of technology and the sense of security when we are using technology we tend to give information freely. For instance we sign up for email accounts and social media using our full names. This is not a very safe practice for one as someone can easily find you and exploit that information. "Momma always said stupid is as stupid does," indeed! Thank you Mr. Gump for your infinite wisdom. We need to remember what ever we write, post, or give on the web, information wise, needs to not be too much information. We need to remember that information posted on the internet is not secure and safe. It is open to anyone who has access or gets access.If you would not tell someone in person the information you are going to post then don't post it! As my great friend Forrest Gump would always say, "That's all I got to say about that!"
