Where am I going?



Its been a long year and a lot of new knowledge that has been brought forth to me, I came into this course thinking that oh hey its just another computer class nothing that I don't know. Well believe it or not I knew very little when it came to learning everything. There is a lot more to computer security and hackers then meets the eye.

There is war going on and at first you'll probably think oh like men shooting guns and things of that nature, well in fact there's a new a far more advance warfare going on and it is the world of computers and the Internet. We have people today that need to become more knowledgeable with the new world and threats of the Internet, if we all think that some point in our lives we aren't going to make a mistake over the Internet than that' just plan wrong. The Internet is a very safe place when you have the right security on your computer to protect you from the hackers and fakes out there. It can happen to anyone at any given time that someone has some sort of very dangerous threat that comes from the Internet.
I believe that the real threat on the Internet is not having enough knowledge, if everyone thinks that there always going to be safe over the Internet than what is it we are doing wrong? After learning about all these different types on viruses, Trojans, malware, spyware, ransomware, the list goes on and on, and how these things are very dangerous I have a new look on the Internet. I look at the Internet as a place of good with a hidden bad behind it, that bad is what everyone need to learn and understand that sometimes its not okay to go on any website to find security program because Google searched it for you. We need to teach everyone how to stay safe and what to look for I know I will understand the Internet a lot better after learning all of this I will know what these threats are, how they work, what they can do, and how to prevent it I have the knowledge and understanding it now time to give everyone the same thing!!

So after all said and done where am I going? I am going to take everything that was taught to me and apply it to the best place where I am on almost everyday and that's the Internet, I thought I knew everything about the Internet and what could happen, I thought ehh just a basic security system is all I need, I thought that I was never gonna come across an issue over the Internet because that only happens outside of the Internet. I was wrong on everything I thought was right and now I will take what was brought forth and taught to me and apply it with not only myself but to other because the best way I'm safe and others are is informing them on what you already know!
