Internet Safety

What you know about the topic before your research:
- I know that it is important to have internet safety. You have to be careful when you download anything from the internet because it can be very dangerous for your computer and for you.

What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching:
- How do I know if my computer is being hacked?
- What else is related to internet safety?
- Why would someone give their phone number, address, etc to a stranger?

Links to where you found the most useful information:
How do I know if my computer is being hacked?
What else is related to internet safety?
Why would someone give their phone number, address, etc to a stranger?

Bullet list of things you learned about the topic:
- Even though you can stay safe if you don't give out personal information and being careful with the things you download from the internet, you are still not completely safe. Links like this one give you cellphone numbers of people. It may not give you the one you want, but it will give you people's numbers.
- People not only hack you with the camera but also just the computer. They see everything you do on your computer.
- The internet is never safe. People can look for anything that has to do with you and you can be found.
- On research tabs, you can have a simple spelling mistake and something totally different of what you wanted to find, appears.
 - People don't see the danger of internet. Some of them just give their numbers out publicly to any stranger cause they think they're going to start dating. It may happen, but there is also a risk of getting robbed, the person might be a pedophile, or just a pervert. It is NEVER safe to give out personal information.
- You always have to be checking the settings of your computer to see if something is going on. To see if someone is hacking you or just watching you.


A short summary of how this topic connects/relates to you or your life:
- This relate to my life, because I always have to be safe and have to be aware of what I'm doing online. I have to be checking to see if there are viruses, people hacking my computer or just to see if I typed something wrong, so I don't see things I don't want to see.

Questions you still have:
- Why don't people realize what the danger of the internet is?
- Why is there sites where people can figure out where you live, what your cellphone number is, and all of those things?
