That's modern technology for you, e whole internet is ill-thought, ill-planned, lacking total security and prone to hacking, it is on complete shambles, we are relying on computers too much, may be we should take a step back! we are just making not only our lives easier but also theirs....
I feel sorry for the future of this planet, that is what will be the tool of choice by international terrorist, possibly they will use your own missiles and re-program them to fall on your own cities! future is very scary, all they need is a stolen Android phone! not looking good at all!
I refuse to do internet banking, the day when my bank says they can no longer allow me to bank my money, I will retire to caves!

errm, a little apocalyptic, but I understand where you are coming from.
You seem to have only a rudimentary grasp of the internet, i.e. it has no inherent security whatsoever, but then nor does a door.

The internet is sinister; you wouldn't catch me using it.
I find it ironic you need a password login to read the full article.
I have heard that the analogy that computer networks (not just the internet) are like roads. Lots of people drive up and down them. But when a road comes to your house, you have (depending on your needs) a security gate; a locked front door; a burglar alarm; and if you have sufficient valuables, a safe or a vault. You don't rely on keeping unauthorised people off the road.
I didn't either, the more you tell them who you are, the more vulnerable you become, they sell your details for a reward, but then you start getting junk mails, I have got to sort out over 7000 emails, I am just letting them sit there! I don't bother deleting them anymore!

Same here Mike.
The gathering and selling of information is big business. When you get something for free it’s far from; no such thing as a free lunch an’ all that.
I’ve stopped downloading so-called free android apps because they want access to everything about me and my whereabouts. So some innocuous-looking game, for instance, which doesn’t have anything to do with where I am, for some reason needs to keep switching my GPS location on. I could understand if I'd downloaded a Sat Nav app but why does a simple game of scrabble need to know this FFS?
A nob I used to work with always had a bee in his bonnet about planet Tesco and how they hold more information about you than just about any other ‘body’. I don’t know how true that was but I’ve never had so much junk mail in my life, (in every guise), from so many different sources who shouldn't even know my name.
Anyway, I once read that the Internet is mainly used for porn. Who would have thought such a useful and powerful tool, (no pun intended), would come to that. (Again, no pun intended).

It's'simply a link to a newspaper article.
Are you sure it won't hijack my web-cam?
