Browsing the Web
I've been online since I was about 12 and learned some new
things about what I've always taken for granted. I would recommend this chapter
and even this book (Discovering the Internet) to anyone who was trying to get a
firm or firmer grasp of internet concepts and information that you can apply to
you every say web surfing.
Mainly what I am taking away from this chapter are some
shortcuts used to visit and revisit websites. I was aware of the more
traditional options such as favorites, history and the address bar of course,
but I am glad to have gotten clarification on RSS feeds and the suggested site
web slices.
I am glad that there was a large portion about internet
security. You have to be very careful when it comes to hackers stealing your
information. Identity theft is a huge problem and a lot of people are affected
because of internet shopping. Most web browsers have built in features to help
keep you secure. I would always recommend a Virus Program, personally I've
always used Norton Anti-virus and have never had a problem. The chapter also
explained about spyware and adware, which is malicious software that "steals"
your information and slows down your computer. But don't worry… you can always
download certain programs to get this of this waste of space.
