  21. The thing about computer security is that while it is by no means absolute, that doesn't mean it's pointless. In the same way it's not pointless to avoid posting your credit card number online just because people can still steal it if you don't, it's not pointless to avoid revealing other information about yourself just because there are people who can find that information through other means. 

    In fact it is a general principle that perfect security is impossible, whether online or offline. Increased security can sometimes also come at unacceptable cost, not just in money, but time, convenience, and social connection. So good security is about finding good tradeoffs, and what may be acceptable to one person may not be to another. 

    But learning about security can help you figure out whether it's worthwhile to change your security practices.
