The Digital Umbrella capitalizes on the recent trends in the technology landscape, all of which have been widely covered in the national media. This book will present the user with a common language, no nonsense approach to describe how technology is eroding personal privacy. The issue will be explored from different perspectives such as how personal privacy is being diminished, what the government is doing about it, and, most importantly, how to protect oneself from privacy intrusions. Privacy threats both at the home and the workplace will be explored in detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great computer spyware, and virus book for lay people!,
By Carol "Amazon woman" (Grosse Ile, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Digital Umbrella: Technology's Attack on Personal Privacy in America (Paperback)
A great book for lay people on explaining the 'how' of spyware, adware, and viruses on our computers. This book also gives easy to understand directions on how to protect individual privacy on our computer. Antivirsus, internet security, and antispy software tutorials are given that allows all people to easily put these on their own computer. There are very few books out there that explains the wide range of topics: workplace monitoring, high tech lifestyles, privacy issues, the government and provacy, anti virus, antispy software, and cyber bludging. Highly recommended for all!
