Did you ever google yourselves? It is not surprise that you can find your photo, part of information. Cyberspace can bring lots of convenience to us, we use internet to search information for our assignments; we can through facebook to find old friends who did not contact for many years; we can also buy our favorite products through online shop. However, cyberspace also has hidden risks. Money loss during the online trade is an example but it only affects people who buy online. The greatest risk for people should be Privacy.
This article mentioned that many professionals handle their personal information very carefully. They may clear their personal online activity as they believe it can prevent their data remain in the internet. By the rapid development of cyberspace, it is no longer enough to protect ourselves. My computer teacher said there is no data that we cannot get. Once the data is visual on the net, there is method to get it. Take Facebook as an example, thanks to its mighty function. People can through friend connection to find their friend of friend. Although you can handle what you post online, you cannot control what people will publish. The flow of personal information became over-control, because you cannot control the thing that you do not know. So, all people should think more about privacy matter. Protect your information is also a way to protect yourselves!
