We access the Internet to access the world.
Cool, right?
With the help of the Internet, we are liberated from our physical limitations. We are empowered to explore different places of varying timeframes with just a few clicks. We get to feast our eyes and appreciate the majestic splendor of Agra, India’s Taj Mahal, the breathtaking view of Arizona, USA’s Grand Canyon Skywalk, and the lush greenery of Pakistan’s Kaghan Valley among others. We are enabled to get in touch with matters beyond local reports. We hear the worldwide euphoria over Spain’s latest triump in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the breaking news on the two gay asylum seekers from Iran, and the developments on the missing Balkans. We are also given the priceless opportunity to catch up with friends and relatives living or temporarily working abroad.
But, how about we put things in reverse?
What if the rest of the world uses the Internet to gain access to us?
Not that cool, right? Especially if certain undesirables (ie. hackers) gain access to things that we consider and would like to remain private.
So, how do we deal with Internet hackers? Should we all download Spybot and have our computers scanned every time we go online? Or should we keep our laptops turned off as much as possible?
