Technology - lessons from history 12:56pm on 17 Dec 2008 I'm interested in the history of technology,. If you read old accounts of technology...people who thought that they were being abused by messages passed through telegraph wires above their houses...or little old ladies who were afraid of electricity 'leaking' out of the plug at night...

The Internet is the big new technology of my lifetime, and I see all the absurd old fears reappearing...
Is it safe to Explore? 3:21pm on 16 Dec 2008 Moving to another browser would work simply because 95% of the world uses IE, so it isn't worth virus writers writing viruses for other browsers.

To be really safe, run Linux rather than Windows, as Linux by default is a safer OS.

Viruses will always happen because so many users are lazy and use the software which came on their machine...also they don't bother to learn how to use it to any depth.
