This will be my second course that has required me to reflect on what has been learned in class. Prior to this course, I blogged for a health class I had taken; which had to have been one of my most successful courses. It was the first time one of my professors congratulated me for being the first person to received an overall hundred in a course, during all the years that professor had taught! Anyways, my reasoning behind blogging again is for the course Principles of Computer Security. Upon leaving my blog open to the public, I am hoping one day I will reflect on how to protect computers and someone will view my blog and better protect their own computer.
I would also like to clear up any confusion on the ingenious name I had chosen to be the title for my blog. Being that this is a Computer Security course, I felt it was only appropriate to quote Peter Norton, the founder of the major antivirus software, stating "computer viruses are urban legends" (Norton 1988).
