Abstract
The Internet has enabled developers to create solutions that produce data that can be viewed by anyone anywhere in the world. Adapting prototypes or smaller versions of a solution to incorporate the Internet can be a challenge. It is not as simple as taking a working solution on a local network or similar communication mechanism and adding Internet connectivity. For example, growing your sensor network from a few sensors monitoring data viewed by a few people to a sensor network incorporating hundreds of sensors with the data viewable by potentially everyone may require redesigning your communication methods, data collection, and data storage.

See http://makezine.com/projects/make-37/gps-cat-tracker-2/ for information about how to build a small GPS tracker for pets. The technology would be the same or similar.

I saw a bumper sticker once that read, “The Internet is full. Go play outside.” While whimsical, the slogan contains a small grain of truth and a dollop of advice for the younger generations.

For example, it should not take 7.5 million years to get an answer of 42.

Now that is absurd.

No, really, this does happen. It is a perfect example of how good security practices can go wrong however well intended. That is, if the policy makes the users’ lives so difficult that they must violate best security practices to cope, the policy has gone too far.

Not a true fix, but it certainly lowers risk.

I utterly loathe portmanteau ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau ). Why can’t we just say “information and entertainment”?.

You don’t do this, do you? If you do, stop it! Post those photos after you get back, not while you’re neck deep in sand 3,000 miles away.

Which is kind of like windows. Sure, we all lock our windows, but a brick or reasonably sized stone will make short work of the glass.
