Using a computer or surfing the web is like the wild west nowadays. Going onto your

Facebook or Instagram page can also be hazardous. The owners of these sites have no

Anderson, 2010). While talking to Tamika Swearingen, she mentioned how HIPPA impacts her

hospital because their policy is such that every patient feels safe that their information is not
