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.
