A lot of the time when Stephen Colbert was talking he was joking, but I think for the most part he was trying to get a very important message across. We have to be careful with how we handle ourselves online. He mentions that he should pick passwords that are very difficult, and this is true. You should always choose something that is very difficult to guess, even if the person trying to guess knows a lot about you, it should never be anything too obvious. Another thing that he mentions is making sure that you have a good program to stop viruses, which is very true. There are many different type of virus protection out there and you need to make sure that you have one that will actually work, or even have more than one. Also, like he said about people being able to find out the things that you search or download you should be generally more careful with the things that you download because they can be harmful to your computer, as well as possibly paint a bad picture of you.
