What really worries me is that people can track passwords and credit card
numbers as you type them in. Like a lot of people now I do a more and more
shopping over the net but most people who do this aren't particularly
advanced technically, and will often do it from home where technical help
isn't available. I also don't like the idea that people can snoop on my
mail at will should they want to. I wonder if it wouldn't hold back the
progress of people using computers/internet if they knew that everything
they did could so easily be watched & passed onto someone else. So I
either stop using the computer totally except for very mundane things or I
try and learn how to protect myself, and have already learnt quite a lot
here :-)
