On internet safety

1.       Why do you think it’s important to keep your personal details to yourself?

They’re personal for a reason... Because you don’t want anyone else to get hold of them and use them for fraud.

2.       Do you think the internet is safe? If yes say why?

Aspects of it are; successful websites/ companies have expectations to maintain and could be sued costly amounts/ lose profit if they can’t live up to their expectations. It’s your responsibility to be careful

If No say why?

There are sites out there, nasty websites. They can misuse your personal information- along with other users of the site and their behaviour.

3.       Do you go on dating sites?

No.

4.       What do you use the internet for?

Homework, socialising, blogging, and music

5.       Do you use the same password for each account you have?

Yes, I shouldn’t really but I do!

6.       Do you think protecting yourself is important if so give a reason why?

Definitely! There are things on the web that I really don’t need to see

Do you have your setting s private? If so what setting do you have it on?

Yeah I have mine on private.

Do you ever talk to people you don’t know online?

Yeah, mutual friends. If I don’t have a clue who they are and they seem a bit dodgy I decline their friend requests, even if it is a bit harsh.

Do you ever do online shopping?

No.

Do you keep safe online? If so how do you?

I don’t give out my password and I don’t search/ post anything I shouldn’t.

                                                                            

Do you have protection software on your computer?

Errm I’m not too sure, probably.

Have you ever been cyber bullied online?

No.

If you haven’t do you know what to do if this occurred?

Yeah you should report it, and block and delete that person(s).

Do you think online shopping is safe? If so why

It depends if it’s a well trusted site. New Look etc would be fine, but I wouldn’t give out card details to a store I’ve never heard before!

If no why?

As always, there are fake websites out there just to get your details and take your money... Be careful!

Would you ever put your bank details online?

If it’s a reliable site.

If yes why?

Major companies wouldn’t rip you off, it’d be bad publicity and they’d make far less money this way, so there’s no point, really.

http://app.zoomerang.com/Home/MyPolls.aspx  - This shows the data that has been analysed from my qualative data .... Here it shows the results of people who  have asnwerd my survey .....



http://app.zoomerang.com/Report/ResultsPage.aspx?qn=1
This link shows to my results of how many people answered my survey aboutinternet saftey .
It shows that 90% of people do have protection which is a very good thing to have to keep your laptop running smmothley and helps to not get viruses . 10% said they don't know which is a bit erm yea probably they don't have any on there laptop which they should have to protect there computer from harmful things like viruses .

It shows 100% that protecting yourself online is inportant which it is when usingthe internet .

90% says that people do use facebook , which isn't a surprise as facebook is one of the top social networking site which people use to talk to there friends and that . People use it everyday as it's coming popular and fast growing networkig sites around .  10% for msn which isnt as high as facebook . MSN can be proper boring well I think it is.

90% has there settings on friends which is pretty good as it stops the whole world from seeing your profile . 10 % has it on friends of friends which isnt too bad bad but if you don't know them I would have it on friends which you know who youre friends are and you actually know them .

100% says they don't give out information of themselves which is a good thing as you don't want someone to stalk you or anything especially if you don't know them .

50% says they do talk to people  they don't know on social networking sites and the other 50% do talk to people they do know on socil networking sites so that's quite interesting to find out 50 / 50 .

70% says that people do use the internet a day and some people use it regulary which is 30 %

40 % of people use the internet for browsing , 20% use it for homework so this shows not many people proberly do there homework , 30% for dowloading musicwhich people are doing quite a bit dowloading new songs and the other 10% is for shopping which they can do online .

67% of people says the internet  can be dangerous ,and 33% no they don't think it's dangerous .

Some people stated why the internet can be dangerous bygiving their opinion below:

it can be dangerous especially on dating sites when you think you know who youre talking to but it turns out to be someone else. 

cuz people can hack you things

Because you can't always trust who you are talking to or what sites you go on.

there could be pedos

As there is alot of contact abillity for anyone to use, and there is a lack of regulation.
It can be because you don't know who your talking to people may have fake accounts or impersonate other people

because there are lots of people on the internet wanting to bad things

It is because there are many webistes that do not have any protection for example chat rooms!!

Some people can hack your computer threw the internet, get all your detail's etc...

background material - of a video I watched online writing my own views of it =)

Here I have watched a video about internet safety!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGF146WJ22M&feature=player_embedded

This is a programme I watched on the think u know website but I got the link through you tube. This video is intently good as it shows and tells you about online and someone finding this girl on the internet who finds out where she goes to school at .This programme tells you what not to do and how someone can easily find out who you are and where you live by giving out small little detail on your profile whether it’s facebook, msn and even my space etc. It shows that internet can be dangerous site with the information that you have put onto your profile without realizing that someone (everyone can see it).

At the start of the programme you have this guy who is bit weird I think but he’s just atypical lad. He loves to go onto the internet and talk to his friends on this social networking site to find out what people are up to their hobbies and etc. He has this one girl on his phone where he has all the information about her, name, age, where she lives, school pictures of herself hobbies and allot more etc.  Then you have the guy at Jades school just hiding away as he sees her friends walking across the road to somewhere. But she doesn’t know he’s there and she probably doesn’t know that the whole world can see her profile online. This can be very dangerous so it’s best to sort out your settings and put it on friends, so only your friends can see the not the whole world. He has this picture that he got from her boyfriends profile of her. So it’s best to pictures on that you don’t what other people see well if it’s something you wouldn’t show ya mum and dad for that matter. He went onto her profile to see her pictures there was loads on there so there’s no password or settings on there so anyone can see. He clicked on her profile where it had all her information on her email address, home address. He went onto Google maps and typed in the postcode and he got a whole view of where she lives. It’s best not to do that putting your post code on because any one can find out where you live.  He snooping around again without her realizing and he knows where she’s going and what she’s going to do which is hang out at the shops for 15 minutes. So you think no one knows what you’re up to but with the internet you can find all sorts with the right research put into it so just be very careful and be aware of your surroundings. If you have friends on your friends list and you don’t really know them it would be a good idea to delete them as you think they may be your friend but they’re not. So don’t add people you don’t know. The guy we finally got his name is Justin he had Jades number and he dialled her number and she answered but by looking at her face she looked a bit wary, not happy when her phone rang. The guy Justin talking so nicely “Hey its Justine remember me sweetheart “, then he asked her “did you do what I asked”?    Then she got something out of her bag it was a memory stick which he asked her to bit in a bush. She was not happy at all; she seemed worried what could be on that memory stick? It’s something of hers that she has been forced into bringing the memory stick to Justine. You can see she’s not happy with it but she did what he said because if she didn’t he probably would get angry so she just did it to keep him happy. Probably she didn’t want to cause any trouble with this guy who she has been talking to online.  He finally picked up the memory stick its got picture of her but more revealing ones. He finally gets in and put on the laptop and inserts the memory stick in to view these pictures. He’s grooming at young girl who is sick in the head. Poor jade is so upset and you can see he wants this to end, and she properly wishes she never gave him the memory stick. Soon after she did the right thing and she realized she had to do something she had to make this stop Justin knew everything about her. She didn’t know that anyone could see her profile like I said at top. She wanted to look good for her friends and her boyfriend. She didn’t know anyone could find information about her and to be her friend which obviously he wasn’t. She soon put her settings on friends so that none else can see her profile except from her friends.  On the left hand side on msn she pressed the report abuse button which if you’re getting any abuse from someone you don’t know or someone’s cyber bullying you. You can press on this to make everything stop.

Here this shows that 50% scan there computer daily and some other people do it once a month of a rating of 70% . I think you should scan your computer once a week or even twice a weel because your computer might be find for a day or two but once it reaches a week or two it will have some trojans or may have viruses when you go onto a website which you don't think has but it may do. Especially dowloading music can cause viruses so you just got be careful and scan your computer regulary .

Do you ever use the same passwords for different accounts?

no	0% (0)
yes	100% (1)

Here I asked people if they use the same passwords for different accounts I got 100% of people do use the same password. You shoul'dnt really use the same password really because if someone kows your password for your facebook account then they can easily use it for you different accounts too. So it be a good idea to change it by putting some numbers , capital letters , symbols as well to make the password alot stronger and for it to make it lot harder for someone to access your password . They won't know it by the different caps /low caps symbols so it's a good idea to do .
