Public Internet Safety

In light of last week's faux pas by Robert of not manually logging out of his Facebook account at the radio station, we're taking this opportunity to refresh EVERYONE's memories on basic safety tips when using the Internet in public.

Many computers will automatically store username/password or use cookies that allow the next user to simply open and continue as if it were you.

Listen in as the Data Doctors talk about how "The Click Chick" took advantage of the open profile during her segments and what you can do to make sure you don't put yourself in a similar position!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
