Online Security
Since so much of our lives is spent online downloading information and friends, keeping your personal life locked down while surfing the web is a high priority. What Ian was mentioning was, of course, common sense to all students, but the big thing that I saw that he centered around just not being stupid. All the gimmicks that he showed were so simple yet so clever; the scroll bar that really isn't a scroll bar, and the Facebook security stuff. The password stuff was really interesting, because I didn't think anybody could actually just leave 12345 as their password and think they're safe. And to think that big companies like Sony can be just hacked like, "No biggie, dude, I do this all the time, hacking into huge companies with baller lawyers. No sweat!" But yeah, mainly Ian's talk was very helpful and I look forward to another presentation, if there is to be one.
