Most of us will occasionally have to use a public computer for one reason or another. Maybe it’s an emergency situation (your own computer crashes or you get caught without your laptop when traveling) or perhaps the opportunity is just too convenient to pass up. Whatever your reasons, using public computers will always carry an inherent risk of exposing your personal data. Luckily, there are some things you can do to protect yourself and lessen that risk. 1. Delete your Browsing History This should be the first step you take to protect your privacy when Web surfing on a public computer.

Diakui atau tidak, saat ini dunia pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia mengalami kondisi yang memprihatinkan. Bagaimana tidak, sebagai wadah pencetak generasi-generasi unggul penerus cita-cita luhur para pendiri republik ini, dunia pendidikan tinggi kita seakan-akan semakin jauh dari jangkauan masyarakat.
