You and your Internet

We are on the era of world wide networks. Our lives are intertwined not just with our families, neighbors and even acquaintances. We live in an era of connectivity and convergence. Everything that are not related becomes now connected. Before, Internet is for technology geeks (a special privilege or a mere fascination). Now, it has infiltrated our personalities so far that we are not anymore anonymous or just us. It has become far and wide that everything becomes anything.  Our existence becomes universal.

I, myself, is an invocator of privacy. I believe that even if we are so "open" does not meant we cannot become "close".  We might have built houses that do not have fences or have houses that are locked with walls. Even in the necessity of openness (for collaboration with others or through convergence of communication facilities) , privacy is still something personal and important.

First things first, is to be open minded. No, I do not meant this related to being "closed" as per privacy. I meant that one should be open minded in realizing this one universal statement that I think holds true, "there is nothing impossible". Knowing that there is nothing such as impossibility, it let us harness awareness further than locking ourselves in the idea that one thing or activity might exist. It gives us the tendency to look beyond the borders, seeking reality and become whole.

In the series of blogs I am about to write pertains about Internet security, privacy and raising awareness about these. I believe there are lots of materials already in the Internet about these but to each is to own. I hope that more than being technically inclined, I would help instill awareness, actions and progression to a healthy Internet, as we are dubbed now as "Netizens" or people of the Internet.
