With 90% of children under 10 going online, and 86% of children aged between seven and 11 using some form of online communication, the risk is there from an early age.
The more you know about the kind of social networking sites your child belongs to and what information they like to share, the more likely you’ll be able to keep them safe.
But it does require you to know about the technology that kids are using. It might be funny to joke about how the kids can use these new-fangled devices that we don’t even understand, but if you expect to keep an eye on what those kids are doing, it’s going to require some familiarity of your own. Social networks and online gaming might not be your cup of tea, but your kids are using them, so you should be too.
“The best way to keep yourself safe is to use your own Wi-Fi connection, if you’re able to set up a personal hotspot, or to ask employees (such as baristas in a coffee shop) which network is theirs. A free connection that pops up while you’re on the go might just be too good to…

It’s still Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so in today’s post I’m passing on a number of security recommendations for online activity, some that the FBI has been promoting for Internet safety. Never forget that any kind of business or work you do online — including email, shopping, social media sites, and surfing – warrants some level…
I think that makes sense, and it might fit for a lot of US workers too. I know in the eDiscovery industry we are seeing more desire for flexibility, and salaries going up pretty significantly. Though we aren’t seeing the same level of disinterest in looking for a new role. Does that suggest that fewer workers in our industry have found what they are looking for in terms of flexibility and money? Or do they see the reality of changing jobs for a 15-25% pay increase versus what they’d get by staying?
