In our rush to connect everything [via the Internet], we have created a monster of bad guys just waiting to take advantage of a weak line of code in a very complex program.
The Internet is a wonderful thing, but it opens the door to many crimes, so you have to stay ahead of it.
The freedom to connect to the world anywhere at anytime brings with it the threat of unscrupulous predators and criminals who mask their activities with the anonymity the Internet provides to its users.
I tell kids not to be on the Internet. It's dangerous. It's not fun. It wastes your life. You should just be outside playing sports, instead of sitting in front of any type of screen.
In terms of dangers, such as viruses, fraud or identity theft, I don't think we were thinking about that at all when we got started. If we had been worried about that, the net might have been better today, but we might not have even got there.
The Internet opens up so many doors. It's a phenomenal tool for education but also a way for people to be scary and dangerous. We're living in a world where we can be hacked and exposed.
There's not really any safe places on the Internet.
That's the problem with the Internet: You do a naked scene and then it's taken out of context and put on websites that have nothing to do with film.
What the Internet's value is that you have access to information but you also have access to every lunatic that's out there that wants to throw up a blog.
The Internet is the most dangerous parking lot imaginable. But if you were crossing a mall parking lot late at night, your entire sense of danger would be heightened. You would stand straight. You'd walk quickly. You'd know where you were going. You would look for light.
I know that social media's said to be a really dangerous place, and it is.
In Internet in general, there are security, privacy, and many other issues.
I studiously avoid the darkest places of the Internet. Sometimes you can't avoid it because you're doing a legitimate news search and something pops up, but I don't breathe that stuff in because I think it's a carcinogen.
It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet.
As children, many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents, our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet.
I don't even want to have things associated with my name on the internet - it's very dangerous.
Kids listen to everything on the Internet.
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
You can go to these chat-lines. It's not hard it's really easy. Another thing the show makes clear is not talking about these issues is what leads kids to go on the Internet and find out the information themselves. And then they come across people like Mr. Healy wanting to meet them in the park. That's what leads to these kind of more-dangerous things.
The Internet - central to modern life - provides new ways for our enemies to plan and act against us.
