Protecting Your Privacy

There have been recent news articles involving privacy issues based on what people have posted online, including but not limited to results of criminal activities. In a world that is being dominated by social media and the thirst to know what is happening now has become a two edge sword. Social Media is both good and bad by providing you with information related to you when you want but has given up rights and privacy in exchange. A few people have asked me how can they protect their privacy online? The answer could be as simple as turning off the Internet but that is an extreme measure that is usually not an option for most.

The Internet is a powerful information tool in today’s technological society, providing information on demand with Social Media connecting friends and family around the world. To protect your information online is virtually impossible but you can control the flow of information by only allowing certain information online. Vital information such as birth year and information is not needed nor relative to anyone, therefore should not be provided if possible. Address, Credit Card and Phone Numbers should only be used if you order a service or product from a trusted site. As for your name and email address, they are OK to use and in fact I would suggest setting up a free email account for random site sign-ups. These few tricks will help protect you from evasion of privacy.

Finally control the information you post online – if you use Geo Location you are letting the world know where you are easily. If you post something you are possible letting people know that fact – true or not. Keep it simple, random and vague is often the best practice in protecting yourself.

Memorial Day 2012

Today, we honor our men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Let’s take this time to remember all that have been lost; as it is a great price to pay for our rights that we hold dear. Along with that, we should thank those who have served and are serving currently for their time. I would like to personally thank all of the United States Armed Forces because of you I am able to voice my own opinions on this website.

The Destination of SpaceX

Last week SpaceX Dragon Capsule made a successful launch from Cape Canaveral, FL on its maiden voyage to the International Space Station. This historical flight establishes the private commercial industry’s presence into space exploration by shipping supplies to the International Space Station. During the weekend the Dragon Capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station to drop of vital supplies to its crew. At this time the Dragon Capsule is being unmanned but future missions could carry people back and forth to the International Space Station. This event marks the first time that a non governmental space vehicle has docked with the International Space Station.

What’s in store for SpaceX and the Dragon Capsule in the future? As we remember the government has officially retired the Space Shuttle Program due to funding and turning it over to commercial use last year. With the SpaceX, the Dragon Capsules and others – the commercial industry is exploring options for manned missions to the moon and mars over the next 20 years. I would like to congratulate SpaceX for their accomplishment, wish them well and the future as I will be watching the development into space travel.
