Privacy on Internet

Friday, September 7th, 2007

My first PC was IBM 486,Mini tower with 80MB HD Storage, and i played “Prince of Persia” under 4 bit format (4 bit = 16 colors) with a rough pixel on it. My first email was eudoramail, i got rid of it after eudora asked me to pay monthly, and hail yahoo free email and its unlimited storage! I joined friendster on March 2004, I think it was quite new that time, because i recomanded it to my cousin in HK before it boom there. And you see now, friendster, email, computer are our life now.I bet everyone who has touched computer at least has one email address. And younger generation nowdays have at least one friendster account (indonesian,big city). As a result of this rapid growth of technology is the change of communication. Direct communication, emotional expression, and thought were transform into digital one (email, friendster testimonial, blog, e-card, etc). If you stay for a long time in country with a good internet infrastructure and someone put your name in google search engine, he / she at least will find your achievement, your academic background, maybe your address,and some story of your life, from there maybe he/she can know about your job, your hobby, etc. Your online status will be easily detect by another user through your IP address. Yahoo messenger, Yahoo email,and any kind of browsing activity in the internet will leave a trace. We can find time and position when they online, open our blog, our email, our website, etc. We can find what kind of browser they use. PC or Mac etc. If your husband said he will go to Bandung for a bussiness, and he open your email with IP address on “Puncak”, it means your husband cheating. loll. If you are not really aware on url address,someone could steal your password easily. So… beware on your privacy in internet as technology sometimes reveal too much.
