Stephen's Sound Advice

I recently viewed a video that Stephen Colbert made with internet tips for protecting your identity. Stephen Colbert is a comedian and his show is one that "pokes fun" at certain issues. I believe this video was no different. His tips were quite funny and really make you think about the efforts people are having to take to protect themselves. His tips were as follows:

1. Always type with your nondominant hand. This would do nothing to protect your identity as typewriting offers universal fonts, hence the joke. 
2. Pick the right password, which is in reference to passwords such as, XuFRako89137aqbkh, that some people feel are necessary, when someone would honestly have a very difficult time remembering that password.
3. Use a different credit card for every purpose because identity theft will occur if you do not. 
4. Defrag your computer, which was something I didn;t find funny because one, I don't know what that is and two, the information Colbert is giving me on what it defragging is, is more than likely false. 
5. Search random topics to "throw off the government/Google/whatever". 
6. Add something to distance yourself from your searches such as, "I am not Stephen Colbert" which is obviously giving himself away. 
7. Protect against virus', by washing your computer once a month. 

I found this video entertaining, but not informative. I think if Colbert wants to inform his viewers, he needs to take a look at the direction in which his website is going and most likely his sources.
