The Internet 101 and Internet Privacy

Repeat after me: The internet is NOT a fuzzy cloud. The "fuzzy cloud" picture was developed by a group of wannabe techies who were looking for job security by keeping the rest of us in the dark. The internet is an actual, real-life wire, actually buried in the ground. It might be fiber optics or copper, but the internet is simply a wire. You are now smarter than 25% of your peers- which makes this an extremely efficient podcast.
Armed with this understanding, you will be able to sort out the real and bogus threats to privacy online.
