Computers & Fun #7 7/5 Wednesday Afternoon - Computer Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The lab coats were not hanging by the door of the lab. They were folded in front of Abby at the front desk and she sat quietly as everyone came in and took their seats.

"Today is our last day of class, although feel free to sign up for my class next term. We'll be covering different territory." Abby clicked a button on her own laptop and the projection screen behind her lit up with a flash. "Today we're going to talk about the human side of internet safety. We've already gotten our computers safe from viruses, trojans and other baddies with our firewalls, but now we need to work on something harder. Putting a firewall up against people."

Abby walked around and sat on the edge of the desk, her hands moving quickly as she spoke. "I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but I totally am going to. There are very scary people out there and they will try and trick you to letting them find out everything they can about your personal life. Sometimes they want the information to wheedle you out of money or property, other times they want the info because they want to get close to you. Really, really gross kind of close. The kind of close where you share bodily fluids." There was a quick shudder and then Abby was back on task. "Stalkers are bad. The only way to learn how to combat them is by CONSTANT VIGILANCE learning what they're like and what tricks they use. That's why this afternoon we're going to stalk each other."

"Everyone sign onto a chatroom and start talking each other up, getting to know each other. Half of you will be creepy stalkers and the other half will be victims. Try not to let any personal information slip out!" Abby grinned. "And when you're finished, I've got a present for you."

Cally thought for a second before creating her stalker name. When she eventually came up with it, she seriously wondered if she was crazy.

Zack wondered briefly what terrible accident had befallen this person's keyboard.

Cally really felt like strangling herself by this time. Why she was continuing the horribleness, she had no idea.

Cally was so evil sometimes.
