This book is the result of all my experiences, and my research into what I should tell my 13-year-old daughter, as she is taking her first steps online, flying solo. When I was explaining to her why she would not get her first smart phone until she turns 18, why she cannot have a social media account when all her friends have one and why she has restricted access on our family PC and no personal laptop; I found it relevant to convert all this content into a book, which could help many others in decision making regarding their life online. My daughter's current cellphone has a small display, a number pad and no internet; she can text her friends and call them if needed, but I guess, she is feeling some peer pressure. She wants a social media account, but we told her she needs to turn 18 to be "Spiderman" - with great power comes great responsibility. Social media carries great power, you should grow up and be a responsible adult to start using such powers. My nature of work requires me to spend a lot of time online, but I always try to ensure that my digital footprint is minimum. I value my freedom of speech and my right to privacy, which has encouraged me in writing this book. This book's objective is to educating technology users about safety, security and privacy. Inside you'll find research-based safety tips and tools, advise, parents' guide and commentary on different aspects of tech use and policy. This is not a technical book, even if many tips and tricks are shared to secure oneself. The book is written in 3 parts with each part having specific objectives around Privacy, Security and Literacy. Part 1 and 2 serve as a guide for novice internet users (children and teens) and people affected by cyber exploitation on how to safeguard yourself. It would also teach the 'Digitally Literate' population on what is going on behind the scene, when you use technology. Part 3 adds value with guidelines in setting up a positive and professional online persona. It brushes on Media Literacy and Critical thinking, and finally concludes with parental tips on how to handhold their children onto technology. The book is structured with each chapter being independent, and continuous reading is not required to understand the fundamental concepts. I do not intend to dictate to you what to do or what not to do with your electronic devices. The purpose here is to give you relevant information, so that you could take intelligent decisions, about your privacy and security. I believe… … with digital surveillance, no one can escape "the All-seeing Digital Eyes." … there is no magic formula to protect yourself from the digital eyes. This book would disappoint you, if you are looking for one. … good understanding of this book would help you manage your electronics and data better. … social media is designed to be addictive, it thrives on our desire for fame and feedback. … digital literacy has created a vast number of novice consumers, who are being exploited and manipulated. … your online persona is as important as your bio-data. … media literacy is essential for consumers and creators alike. … critical thinking is a philosophy. It is easy and hard at the same time. ... critical thinking can be taught but needs constant practice to master. … you can be the guide for your generation to come. - Neville J Kattakayam
