Class 3/2

The discussion on security was very frightening, particularly if there is really nothing one can do to protect themselves against hackers or theft.  While I realize there are several thing one can to protect themselves, a computer / internet user is never bulletproof or truly safe.  Furthermore, doing the most to protect yourself from hackers & theft requires incredible time and effort.  This is certainly a new reality for cultures now wholly dependent on networked communication.  Given that one can never truly be safe, I wonder how much effort is worth putting in to protect oneself. 

I was glad that class on Tuesday ended on a more uplifting note with Oscar presenting his experience with SOA at his former job.  This example certainly clarified the concept.  It was also great to learn more about my classmate's experience.   Oscar's presentation was interesting, well planned and very clear.  I really appreciated this opportunity.
