The international threat of cybersecurity is growing. As international bodies are taking notice, the US is not doing enough to safeguard against the dangers of a security breach.
The privacy of one’s own computer is threatened as much as the security of scientific research and business. In 2009, President Obama declared that the ===> “cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation”, and that the future of America’s economic prosperity hinges on the effectiveness of cybersecurity. <===
Gust MEES's insight:
Learning the basics of Cyber-Security is a MUST in 21st Century! Education should follow this and teaching it up from the early age as nearly anyone is Online today!

Social networking, especially via Twitter and Facebook, has become a major part in modern life for many millions of people.
We need to educate young people to understand that it is wrong to write anything on a social networking site which you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. As it is, it is all to easy to get carried away when you’re addressing someone you can’t see and whom you may not know personally.
Second, Twitter and Facebook are, as has been well publicised, a groomer’s dream. It is vital that children – and I’m sure most parents and schools are already doing this – be carefully drilled in spotting the dangers. That means, for example, never posting suggestive photographs, ‘flirting’ online with strangers, or agreeing to meet anyone you’ve ‘met’ only via a social networking site.
The key to making all this work, however, is that teachers and schools have to be open-minded and prepared to embrace new ways of working. Many, of course, are doing so with enthusiasm, ===> but some are still locked in dinosaur mode. <===

A major in-depth study examining how teenagers in the UK are using the internet and other mobile devices says the benefits of using such technologies far outweigh any perceived risks.
The findings are based on a large-scale study of more than 1,000 randomly selected households in the UK, coupled with regular face-to-face interviews with more than 200 teenagers and their families between 2008 and 2011.
