Part 2: Respond to two peers

Peer 1 Greg

After watching the video it really had me thinking about not using the internet, but I know that is impossible.  No one wants to use the internet if they know that they are being the watched, but know that there is a browser to letting you know that your are is a good thing.  Just like you know that you are being watched they know that you are watching them as well.  It really is just scaring being on web searching for anything these days.

The Internet is an extremely dangerous place. There is no privacy, or security that cannot be breached by talented hackers. I love using the Internet, it is a great tool for many things. The internets brain has never ending amounts of knowledge. That does not mean that we should allow our children to use the Internet without supervision, That does not mean that we should browse the Internet and enter personal information. We have to protect ourselves and our children from the hidden dangers.
