As a mechanical engineer student this blogging stuff its super new for me, I haven’t done this before, but I am excited and maybe I will make a blog in the future to share my personal tastes, I would really like to make a Blog about things I like, cars, watches, traveling, etc.
Let’s talk about what we are going to be looking at this iWeek…
Digital Identity…
I search in the web for the definition and I found that “A digital identity is an online or networked identity adopted or claimed in cyberspace by an individual, organization or electronic device.”(1)
I think most people don’t know the real meaning or the importance of digital identity, when we create a new profile on a social network and upload or post bunch of things we don’t realize that once the material is online, you can never erase it. I think that is one of the cool things of the internet, but at the same time it can be very dangerous, everyone can upload stuff or search for things, or try to steal things, like your identity.
Today we started our new iWeek course, we had a live talk with Dave Cormier. It was very interesting and he made me think about -me- “out there”in the web. the internet a whole new galaxy, you can find everything about anything, you just need to know how to search and where to search.
The issue that frustrates me the most is the security, I asked Dave -How can we keep our identity safe?- and his answer was really honest and a bit scary. the truth is that no one is safe, everyone can be hacked. The secret is to keep everything simple, like Dave said, post nice stuff, be kind, and upload to the internet things that won’t hurt us in the future if someone make bad use of it.
I am really looking forward to this course and I hope to learn a lot about digital identity and also how to make a nice blog for sharing things I like.
See you in the next post!!
