Guests Deliver Important Information

Last Thursday my woman's studies class had two guests. Their names are Sargent Kevin Albanese and Trooper David Aresco of the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit. What they presented to my class was amazing and eye opening. They discussed what they did on a regular basis which is track down and deal with child exploitation. Both of these men deal with the horrible things pedophiles do to young girls. They both see and hear horrible things, but still it is their duty to put emotion aside, represent their unit, and get their job done.

To me, both of these men are heroes. They live their lives trying to help others. They push for justice as far as authority will let them and they deal with the crazy people who are out their in the world creating crimes.

Shown to my class was a presentation about the possibilities of putting information on the internet. Many of my classes this year at college have had presentations about the use of social media and networking sites. Obviously there are the basic dangers of bad pictures and being hit on by strange men, however, I was unaware that people can hack into a computer to turn on the camera without you knowing. This scared me the most. Technology is still being updated, and new ways of hacking are being found. Both of these men made me very aware of the things that could happen by putting information on the internet. I thank them very much for their time and information.
