The majority of the material we’ve covered this semester have been nothing short of both helpful and interesting (some of the topics I was either unaware or mislead by the idea). Although, one of the topics that was on my mind more frequently was the topic of security (keeping your personal info hidden while exposing just enough of your profile to gain access or make yourself known through different means)  and some of the various things that occur while searching or looking through websites.

At the time i was still unaware, but one of the steps to ensure my personal info was kept secure was denying and checking for cookies from different sites so my profiles can’t be traced. In addition to that I would also remove or erase link to unfamiliar sites. As for avoiding filter bubbles, instead of just clinging to what I like, I would also search for additional info regarding a specific topic or come across different sites where i can still find what i need yet they don’t require any personal info from me.
