    Nice! Here are my takeaways:

    1. There is plenty of information online that could be incorrect or outdates (such as Preston's engaged status). It's always wise to fact-check this information you find online.

    2. Posting about your vacation while you're on vacation can be dangerous, as it's basically an announcement that your home is prime for being burglarized. Wait until you get back home before posting. It also helps to have some sort of home alarm system.

    3. There are plenty of ways to protect your passwords. Use different passwords for each account, use a password manager, use two-factor authentication, etc.

    4. Online quizzes can easily gain a lot of information from you. If any of you guys are using the new app Checkmate, keep that in mind!

    5. I find it very interesting that pretty much everyone in the Dryer family has law degrees.

    Thanks for posting Nate! I thought last week's lecture was a great culmination of everything we went over this semester. It was crazy to see how much personal information is available online with a bit of digging.
