Increase Your Facebook Security: 5 Ways to Be Safe
Embed from Getty Images I love Facebook! I enjoy keeping in touch with people I served in the Army with, far-flung family members, co-workers past and present. Additionally, I’ve found several groups that feed my hobby interests and several that provide professional information. All in all, I find it a useful platform.

What is Do Not Track; Why it Matters
The internet is a cool place, is it not? We now have access to information on a scale not dreamed of by our parents; our grandparents didn’t even know a lot of this information even existed.

How to stay safe on the Web
Here’s the reality: The only way to stay completely safe on the web is to stay OFF the web. Wait, wait, I didn’t mean NOW, finish reading the article.

This Thing Called the World Wide Web
I remember when there was no World Wide Web, when the Internet was not called the Internet. For today’s emerging generation of computer users, however, computer use IS the Internet or the Web. The journey from a room-sized machine churning out processed data to global information access from a handheld device weighing less than a pound probably does not fascinate […]
