i am currently studying Software Development in the Cork Institute of Technology and I am in first year. I chose this course due to having a high level of interest in the topic itself and the general working of computers and the employment opportunities that come with having a degree in this field. I've also done a year of computer science in University College of Cork through Arts. There is when I realised how much I enjoy working on computers and that it was what I wanted to focus my studies on and make my career in. I'm very happy in CIT with the facilities, staff and the students with whom I share this course with. Hopefully I can also used this course to travel abroad whether it be for work placement or once I'm finished my degree, preferably to somewhere in Asia or the United States. I'm really looking forward to what this course offers in the future as I'm really enjoying what it offers at this moment in time. I also can't wait to learn more about computers and there inner workings and how I can also include my knowledge in my daily life as well as my professional life.
My views on privacy are what I would imagine to be the normal views on this topic. It does concern me that what I'm doing online can be seen and is being seen, whether that be by the owner of the website, Internet service providers or nearly any company or agency if they chose to. Even in incognito mode at the very least your ISP will see your traffic as they direct you to the sites that you are using. Knowing all of this I've honestly begun to turn a blind eye to privacy on the Internet as I understand it's just not really a thing that you can have. It also has a lot to do with my belief that I'm not looking into or browsing anything that I feel I would care if some random employee at a company sees me doing as I'm sure they've seen it a thousand times and worse. I also have no real problem with companies taking my data for analytics or things like this as it does not provide me with any inconvenience and I understand that companies need this data to improve their sites.
It's clearly visible in your everyday life as the ads which you're being shown online are typically catered for you based on your browsing history and the likes. The concept of some employee at an agency or company seeing me look at some random pictures on Imgur all day long. Unfortunately I'm not interesting enough to worry about someone seeing my browsing habits as I don't look at anything which could be considered illegal by any stretch, nor do I spend anytime on the dark net. Maybe these views are the norm and just an understanding that online privacy is not really a thing. Then again I do understand that even though someone may not being doing any wrong online they may not want a person to know what they're doing in their daily life. This is a bit about myself and my views on privacy.
