Getting info on line

It is very easy to get information on line. Even if you think there is nothing about you on line, there is most likely something about you that can be found. I only have a face book page, that is private, but I went on the poke you site and found other information that I never thought was available. You could not find my exact address on their, but it was scary how many peoples address you could find. To me it is very scary how much information you can find on line about people. This information makes it very easy for criminals to find you and hurt you. Not just sex offenders are people that can find you and hurt you, but there are also people that will try to, and a lot of times succeed, at stealing your identity. It also gives an easy target for cyber bullying, millions of teens are victims of cyber bullying a year, and it is sad. If your information is not available on line, that makes it a lot harder for people to steal your identity, find you, and or hurt you.
For our little assignment, I could not find that much information about myself, but I am also not that technical with computers. The only thing I believe I have on line about myself is with my face book page and my space page, and I do not put personal information about myself on there. I am cautious about on line privacy, and it worries me how it easy it it to gather information.

What to buy online vs. In stores

I do not buy many things online, but I do like to go shopping and buy many things in stores. When it comes to buying things online you have to be very careful, because it is very likely that it is a scam. I do not like buying things online, but one thing I have bought are shoes. The shoes were on an official store website, Coach. Other things I would consider buying online would probably be; clothes, and small material goods. Shopping in a store is completely different, and I would buy almost anything from clothes and shoes to a car or big appliances. When you are in a store you get to see and inspect everything you are purchasing, before purchasing it. Most people like to inspect and look at most goods before purchasing them. Another reason why purchasing things in a store is safer, is because you know were exactly your money is going. When buying items online, you do not necessarily know were your money is going. A lot of people get their credit card numbers, and or their identities stolen while thinking they are purchasing an item. Purchasing items in a store, is always safer, but there are safe websites you can purchase items on as well.
