Internet Security & The Rise of Union Station
April 28, 2014
Internet Security
My personal activities online could probably be more secure. I tend to not worry too much about social media sites and my privacy on those; however, I am more cautious with what goes up on those sites. I dislike long passwords, and tend to have not amazingly strong passwords, which could be dangerous. I do have multiple passwords depending on the site and it’s usage. Probably the most secure activities that I keep secure are those including money and banking information. Internet security isn’t something I worry about, rather then just have an acute awareness for what I am putting or giving access to the internet. I really liked what the guest lecturer said, “If you have something on a computer or phone connected to the internet, then a bad guy has already seen it.” This is a good mind set when thinking about how you use the ever so public Internet community.
Final Project Update
I have found a bunch of individual items that I think are cool, but I am having difficulty seeing them work into a single narrative. For example, There is this item of people playing in the fountain outside of Union Station, and then this one, of soldiers gathering in the terminal of Union Station. I think they are both important, but I have yet to find the best connection for the two items. I also haven’t found many other mediums for items. I have a lot of pictures, but very few other item types. I would love to have some diversity in my items, but am having difficulty finding that. |

Hannah,
I think you have grasped the main theme of the security lecture, and you’ve been very honest about the status of your own security online.
As for your project, if you’re having difficulty creating a larger narrative out of your primary sources, talk to Lee Ann or me. We can help you read your sources and come up with an argument. You’d be surprised how much brainstorming with someone else can help.
