Sign of the Times

Standing still is certainly not an option Ignorance of technology expect corruption, Guarantee your safety, protect your identity Never divulge passwords, just think security, Over decades so many changes, some good Fascinating inventions saying that we should, Take responsibility for our actions, be prepared Hackers, thieves so intelligent information shared Encryption of all actions anything online declared, Transmitting your personal thoughts, feelings Inscription on social media could send us reeling Misdemeanours unfortunately are a sign of the times Eliminate risk of heart ache through serious crimes, Secure information, keep safe, prevent any stealing. 4/27/2018 Contest sign of the times Sponsored by John Hamilton.

It's too much for me. That is why I do not order online or use my cell phone for anything but phone calls (and movie pass) Nicely done and big congrats.
