Educate the people to protect their information

Today ,Mr Bruce gave a good speech about our university's information security policy. But for me, it seems a little away from my ordinary life if I did not have the opportunity to listen to this speech. For the almost total past education experience, I never received the formal education to teach us how to prevent the information loss which may be due to our own uncareful behavior or some other person's malicious tendentcy.I did not receive any kind of formal orientation about how to protect my personal information, how to conduct our behavior to comply with the regulation. The result is that sometimes we wil download some virus and we did not back up our useful files in the computer, it cost us a lot of energy and time to recover all the work which has been done. It is kind of frustrating process.
No systematic information education workshop or something like that to give us the basic informatio to deal with the security issues. Maybe ,most people will not lose much due to the neglience of that issue, but sometimes, bad things happened, it is always hard to go back at that point.
I hope our university can encourage the this effort to educate the general public about this issue. The information security education should be implemented in the university's policy, it should make every student have the opportunity to receive the information about how to protect themselves in this peaceful but complex world.
