The Blue Nowhere

I was amazed when I read the end of this novel that most of the technology exists that was portrayed in the book. I don't search the web very often and barely knew hackers existed except what I read in the newspaper. I am dismayed that what is potentially such a good thing (the internet) can be used for so much bad. I don't mean to take a cynical view but I think that the very real threat of hacking scares me.

reply to Stacy's blog regarding the Blue Nowhere

The woman who left with the killer trusted him because he had her believing they had met. After reading that book I realized how vulnerable we are and especially our children because they are not as suspicious. I, also, thought how easy it has become to stalk people. Though most people are not killers there are a good amount of people who could become stalkers because of the anonymity of the internet.
