Cyber Defender & Databank Supervisor
Because of her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Maya started out as a librarian. While she loved her job, she wanted to do more to help protect people.
Since Cyber Villains such as Ms. Information and Elvirus can corrupt websites and the information on them, Maya teaches people to protect themselves by using caution when visiting websites and avoiding sites that are not trustworthy.

Using the Web: Mechanics
Have you ever thrown a toaster out of a window? Neither have I, but yesterday I came close! No matter what setting I turn it to, my toast always comes out blacker than Elvirus' wardrobe! Luckily, I calmed myself down enough to realize that I knew a few Web sites that might help me fix my broken toaster. Here are a few great sources to use for all your mechanical problems.

Cyber Terminology: What is RSS?
RSS, or real simple syndication, is a great way to stay up-to-date with any Web sites you like. It works by scanning the Web site for any changes. If it finds any, it alerts you with an email or text message. The email or text will have a link to the Web site if you want to see the new content.
In order to use RSS, you'll need to use a newsreader or aggregator. There are several of these programs on the Internet, so search for one you like the best. Once you find one that works best for you, you'll start noticing that many Web sites, especially social networking sites and news sites, have RSS buttons on them. By clicking on the button, you subscribe to the Web site's RSS feed and will begin getting updates right away.
