FDA warns of dangers of ordering drugs over the Internet

It is easy to get caught up in the idea that you may never have to leave your house again to make a purchase of some kind. Just think with just one click of the mouse you are able to buy your clothing, your car, your groceries, even your house online. Being able to buy your prescription drugs is no different. So where is the problem in this? With a shirt you can always send it back if it isn't the right size, you get the wrong food and hey it doesn't harm anyone, but getting the wrong prescription, now that can cause some serious damage. When you go to the drug store and pick up your drugs you can be almost 100% positive that the drugs you are buying are the ones you really need. You physically hand the pharmacist, who you can see is a real pharmacist, you prescription and what and watch as they fill it. When you order something through a computer you are never physically doing anything beside pushing a button. You have no idea if the person on the other side of the computer is a pharmacist or a 12 year old boy, the only thing you see is the screen, so why do we trust this so often? Because it is our generation that we have grown up in, the technology generation. Of course we are going to be quick to accept that a pharmacist but be the one sending me the right drugs i need not anti-psychotic medicine, which could cause injury or death. It is the world we have grown up in and a world we are so quick to accept that we never think that perhaps we should get up and take the five minute drive to the pharmacy and see the pharmacist and watch him fill our prescription instead of just trusting a computer to do all the work.

It is scary to think that someone has the ability to tap into your wireless and frame you for something as serious as a bomb threat. In all reality this is happening more and more often. It isn't always a bomb threat as much as someone tapping into your Internet and stealing your identity. To think that at any given time some person could be tapping into my wireless and posing as me is not a fun thought. There is so much information that is stored in someones Internet world that you can pretty much know everything about someone just from looking them up on the Internet, even if you didn't know the information was out there. With each coming day Internet use is increasing more and more, and with that our privacy is decreasing more and more. Though i am an avid user of the Internet it could possibly be a dangerous threat to our lives.

In your Face-book.com

Facebook has always been a hot issue for me. Sometimes the information people put up on their page is like asking to be arrested. Students feel the need to share every little detail about their life and then get mad because they get into trouble over it. I don't think facebook is something that should be considered private. Facebook is public for all to see and if you are going to write on it something that may get you into trouble, be ready to face the consequences. Though i don't always agree with how authority figures use facebook to search the students or their employees, i realize that it is going to happen and to not put anything on there i wouldn't want my boss or teacher or police to see. Facebook is free and is now open up to anyone with a computer so students should be ready for the police to find out about their underage drinking, or their drug use or their huge parties that they advertise through facebook.
