Day 11
反思總結(jié)
這兩天的任務(wù)隨著流程的熟悉,效率也逐漸加快了起來,但其實(shí)還是需要注意時(shí)間上的把控,特別是第一天查生詞的時(shí)候,一不小心就會(huì)陷入理解誤區(qū),這是應(yīng)該及時(shí)再群中向到時(shí)提問或是翻看之前小伙伴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。這次的邏輯導(dǎo)圖還是逃不開一個(gè)有一個(gè)實(shí)例的旋渦,邏輯還是有點(diǎn)被作者帶著走,所以參照導(dǎo)師的導(dǎo)圖做了大手術(shù),果然還是要跳開字詞來看整體架構(gòu),小標(biāo)題不外是一個(gè)很好的關(guān)注點(diǎn),提醒了讀者有另一個(gè)新分論點(diǎn)的開展。
其實(shí)隨著信息化時(shí)代的全面到來,網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全是人們又一爭議的熱點(diǎn)話題。無論何事,都有明顯的利弊兩面,文章開頭即言,安全級(jí)別高如美國大選都險(xiǎn)些出了事故,銀行業(yè)的問題更是不勝枚舉,網(wǎng)絡(luò)上鋪天蓋地的個(gè)人信息和社交軟件上不斷披露甚至販賣個(gè)人隱私,乃至令人心驚膽戰(zhàn)的網(wǎng)友人肉事件,無一不在警告我們:網(wǎng)絡(luò)遠(yuǎn)不如我們想象的那般安全。一根根網(wǎng)線背后連接的并不是我們想象中的安全堡壘,而是一個(gè)可以被突破的紙墻。
