Jeremy Who?
I am a "computer guy". You know the type. We sit at a computer at work all day only to rush home and sit at the computer. Left on our own without a good friend or significant other, we'd rot in front of the computer with our social networking, blogging, site design, coding and gaming.
I still haven't figured out what that bright yellow ball in the sky is, but I do know it burns my skin and hurts my eyes. People are constantly telling me to go out and get some "fresh air" but all I know about the outdoors is that my laptop cord won't reach that far.
I've been using computers since the early 90's and the Internet for about as long as there's BEEN an Internet. I have two degrees in Computer Science and teach computer safety and information management skills for the government. I've logged thousands of hours on the computer and Internet doing just about anything you can do online.
What's My Point?
Simply put, I have a huge advantage over your standard computer user simply for the fact that I love computers. And yet, there are times when even I get suckered or make a bone-head security move.
If even I can get it wrong with as much training and experience as I have, then how is a normal person supposed to be safe? The answer is they can't. And I have a problem with that.
This is more than just my mantra, it's my philosophy and a way of life. I truly believe that if companies and our government weren't mired down in inefficiency and slobbering over themselves with greed and incompetence, we wouldn't have as many problems as we do.
Well, I can't make all the businesses and governing bodies do things the right way to protect people's privacy and freedom, but I can sure as heck teach you everything I can to make it much harder for the bad guys to control, manipulate, and rob you.
