"Life and Death on the Internet"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book starts the job in outlining Internet privacy issues, but 'Life and Death on the Internet' by Keith A Schroeder finishes the job. I think both books go hand-in-hand. This book outlines the issues clearly and 'Life and Death on the Internet' gives several step-by-step outlines to put privacy into effect. Both books are probably the two best Internet books of the year!
Keeps parents slightly ahead of their computer oriented kids

Extremely well written, clear and to the point. Easy to follow guidance for uneasy parents whose children seem so at-ease with computer technology.
A quick, easy read, loaded with tangible advice

If you've been leery about going on the Net, read this book to set your mind at ease. But if you've already been blithely surfing among cookies and spam, this book will scare the pants off you. The section on Internet privacy at work (e-mail and web surfing) changed my behavior overnight. So did the sections on how to protect children: I'm a grandmother and I'm making sure my daughter reads this book.
