But, greater access to information has also led to an increase in false financial advice. Technology makes it even more important for an investor to truly understand what data and information is being presented to him or her. Investors should dig deeply into any information provided to find out if it really has legs to stand on or if it's built on data that was in turn created by a computer program. 6.

Thanks to clever filters unsolicited e-mail has largely disappeared as a daily nuisance for most on the internet. But spam is still a menace: blocked at the e-mail inbox: spammers post messages as comments on websites and increasingly on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. The criminal businesses behind spam are competitive and creative. They vault over technical fixes as fast as the hurdles are erected. The anti-spam industry has done laudable work in saving e-mail. But it is always one step behind. When filters blocked missives with tell-tale words such as "Rolex" or "Viagra", spammers misspelled them. When filters blocked mail from suspect network addresses, the spammers used botnets (networks of hijacked computers) instead. In the end: the software industry's interest is in making money from the problem (by selling subscriptions to regular security updates) rather than tackling it at its sour c e . 8 .
