Day 11
反思总结
这两天的任务随着流程的熟悉，效率也逐渐加快了起来，但其实还是需要注意时间上的把控，特别是第一天查生词的时候，一不小心就会陷入理解误区，这是应该及时再群中向到时提问或是翻看之前小伙伴的经验。这次的逻辑导图还是逃不开一个有一个实例的旋涡，逻辑还是有点被作者带着走，所以参照导师的导图做了大手术，果然还是要跳开字词来看整体架构，小标题不外是一个很好的关注点，提醒了读者有另一个新分论点的开展。
其实随着信息化时代的全面到来，网络安全是人们又一争议的热点话题。无论何事，都有明显的利弊两面，文章开头即言，安全级别高如美国大选都险些出了事故，银行业的问题更是不胜枚举，网络上铺天盖地的个人信息和社交软件上不断披露甚至贩卖个人隐私，乃至令人心惊胆战的网友人肉事件，无一不在警告我们：网络远不如我们想象的那般安全。一根根网线背后连接的并不是我们想象中的安全堡垒，而是一个可以被突破的纸墙。
