  1. Just been chatting with friends.

    Can the internet ever be 100% safe?

      No! Any more than the physical world can be 100% safe. There will always be people out there who want to rob you, exploit you, con you and manipulate you.  The internet, and the ability of computers to process vast amounts of data, gives them new ways of doing that. From the con artist convincing you to part with your money  to extremist poltiician who uses your profile to whisper in your ear exactly what they know you'll respond to get you to part with your vote.

      In many ways we're like a naive youngster moving to the big city from a remote village; the city offers new opportunities but also new dangers. 

       

      The only way to avoid some of its dangers would be to tightly control every aspect of it but that would be, in many ways, even more dangerous.

      Thanks, Pacific231G

       

      You’ve put all of that most eloquently, thank you.

      I guess as long as we go very carefully, browse carefully, then there’s little more we can do.

      I’ll certainly continue, and I look forward to future times.
