Adam Walker

Greetings everyone!

Welcome to my blog. My name is Adam Walker and I am excited to try what the kids call these days "blogging". Personally, I have never been a fan of owning a diary, or any sort of writing in general -- I am a complete math and science geek -- but this looks to be a riveting experience. Now, let me tell you a little bit more about myself. I am a senior at BASIS Scottsdale looking to document my experience during my research over my last trimester. I enjoy listening to any type of music, but my favorite would probably be grunge/rock/alternative. Speaking of music, I love to play guitar, and have been playing since 8 years ago. I have never not enjoyed guitar to give you an idea of how much I love it. Moving away from the arts now, I enjoy mechanical work on my car, a 2012 black Mustang (a car I am most proud of) and scrimmaging with friends in soccer.



Now as much as I would like to tell you everything that happens in my life, my blog will focus on one specific topic, my senior research project -- cYbeR you not secure? How to be safe in an online world. In this project, I will be working under Serial Technology Entrepreneur Mr. Mark Vange to work on the internet presence of a virtual reality flight simulator. To put that in simple terms, how a video game will interact with the internet. To the side of that, and what my project actually is about, I will be researching and compiling the best methods to be secure on the internet so that the average person like you or me can be the most safe online. In the end, I will have a guideline that will help determine what measures you have to take to be safe online depending on what your main purpose for going online is.



Phew! I hope this all makes sense. It just seems to go in one ear and out the other when I try to explain it to people. In about a week and a half from the day this was posted, it will be my first day actually working on this project. Exciting times! Feel free to comment on any future posts regarding my projects or this one, if you are feeling up to it. I hope you have a wonderful day. This is Adam signing off.
