Lecture 5: MyFace

A guest speaker came in to visit us for today’s lecture just to discuss what type of Social networks we used. We also watched a movie called “MyFace” from the abc website from that featured on the Triple J’s The Hack Half Hour. People sit and have a discussion on the relevant topics at hand and MySpace was the hot topic. Everyone in the discussion was involved in some sort of online social networking or activities and all came with their views and experiences. The key issue was privacy and what we as users of these online communities post and are willing to expose about ourselves. Hackers are always online and in the sites that are most common for people to open a portal into their lives for the hackers to devour them. A very interesting topic because it is very relevant to everyone. Most of us are very consumed by these online networks and do not pay much attention to what could be happening behind the scenes in the 'cyber' world where all our personal information is floating and could be captured by anyone. My eyes are open and I am nowe going to pay more attention.
