Description

Do you have a private life? If you think you do, you may have to think again. The Internet poses a threat to everyone’s personal privacy & rights -- whether or not they use a computer. Our financial & confidential details are stored on 100s of computers & most are vulnerable to being hacked. Corp. monitor our online activity, to build consumer profiles so they can manipulate our spending. Governments spy on our e-mails, phone conversations & faxes. This book shows how the Internet is a double-edged sword; it offers untold benefits but poses dangers that have to be addressed by companies, the media, & governments. The book assumes no knowledge of computers, & it offers hints & tips on how to safeguard one’s privacy in the Information Age.
