How to Destroy Yourself Online

In this talk Jeremy Duffy, the Geek Professor ®, will educate you on the dangers posed by current web technologies. Designed for high-schoolers, college students, and the ones who love them (though it's good for anyone who uses the Internet with any regularity), Jeremy will cover a variety of topics particularly focusing on real-life examples of others who have lost their friends, their jobs, even their lives due to not understanding the consequences of their actions online.

Made to be fast-paced, yet understandable, Jeremy uses current, relevant examples, colorful and engaging photos, and his extensive public speaking experience to deliver information you need in the most interesting and useful way possible.

General Safety

Avoid fake and nasty websites with my search engine trick.
Watch out for online addiction. Getting lost in fun online activities can be just as addiction as any drug.
So you want to write, publish, or share information online? Be careful. Things you say may be lost or forgotten, but things put on the Internet never are.
Don't fall for the well-known (or the new scams either) bad guys use to trick you into give away data or money.

Account Protection

Want to make an account with some online service? Read this first!
The newest, biggest risk online? Account hijacking! Don't become a victim by allowing your account to be taken over and learn to recognize when someone else has been.
Be sure transmission security is active before entering a name, password, credit card number, or other important information online.
