If you want to protect your future, this is how I would do things

 

The very first thing I would do is to search for any news you want to know about on perplexity.ai and DO NOT let social media and headlines lead you where you only see what they or the data and algorithms choose for you, just use Perplexity.ai which CITES its sources unlike any other search engine and leverages academic journals and search for example search laws that were passed in Arkansas in 2025, only the unbiased facts and you will get an actual, unbiased answer.  Next, if you don't know about the latest scams going around you can go to Komando.com and read or ask the cybersecurity professional that you know about what threats are out there.  

If you fall victim to a scam I have links to most of the main sites to report scams on my website bit.ly/Dov24 like the FBI IC3 (internet crime division), FCC, BBB, and where to report bad apps or websites as well.  

I, personally, listen to Kim Komando's podcast on Pandora, have listened to every story on Darknetdiaries.com, which are very enlightening, and read IEEE spectrum's website because they are on the about the cutting edge of coming technologies.

Lastly, go to Ted.com and watch and listen to whatever interests you but I would recommend 2 ted talks, 10 ways to communicate better, and How to  find truth in a "Post Truth" world.
