Internet security is a concern for many people. In this discussion, you will consider perceived causes for concern and the steps people take to keep themselves safe when using the Internet.

Using the Internet, research the public's concerns with Internet security. For example, are people hesitant to use the Internet or wireless technology for purchases due to security concerns? Are people hesitant to use technology because of privacy concerns? Are these concerns influenced by age, race, or gender? Try to find statistics or other data to support your claims.

Read your peers' posts and respond, keeping these questions in mind:
