Norton Antivirus Maker and Wells Fargo Pair Up for Economic Tag-Team Wrestling

(NYSE: WFC) Wells Fargo & Company, one of the largest commercial banks in the United States, has opened up a $1 billion dollar line of credit for Symantec, the creator of Norton Antivirus and associated Norton software. 

Wells Fargo & Company has announced that they are ambitious about their new focus on the technology industry and wish to pursue a long-time business partnership with Symantec as a primary client.

Symantec is reportedly using the $1 billion dollar line of credit for “general corporate purposes”, though it is speculated that much of this credit will be going towards the development of new server technology that Symantec will deploy worldwide, from which Wells Fargo & Company will mutually benefit. Wells Fargo & Co. uses Symantec-branded servers with top-notch security to store client banking information.

“Symantec is a forward-thinking technology corporation that places a high importance on nurturing strong customer relationships,” said Ben Hosgedo, spokesperson for the company.

Wells Fargo & Co. has embraced the deal with open arms after Symantec was listed as one of the most progressive technology corporations in a recent Forbes survey. 

Wells Fargo & Co. purportedly has good relationships with many technology corporations, but sees Symanetec as one of their strongest allies in the corportate world. 

“If not for Symantec’s amazing security and server technology, Wells Fargo would not be where we are today,” says Hosgedo proudly, “We look forward to expanding upon this relationship, nurturing it, and using it to benefit both of our companies for the better.”

According to an international Norton Living Online report, 62 percent of kids between the age of eight to seventeen have had a negative online experience whether it is due to cyber bullying, accessing inappropriate content, providing sensitive personal information or loading computer viruses on their systems.

And the truth is that “peer pressure”, as it always has been, is influencing these kids to flout Facebook age restriction rules and sign up with the most popular social network, unbeknownst to their parents.

And while most 10-year olds want to be as cool as the 18-years olds who are constantly talking about happens on Facebook, this leads to them being more susceptible to cyber bullies or sexual predators in the form of pedophiles as well, according to police and teachers.

Since they don’t understand the impact of sharing important personal information online, despite lying about their ages, they obviously do not have a clue about the dangers and the negative experiences that lie in wait for them, as they go online.

And while it is most distressing that parents aren’t concerned about internet safety, and how it can impact their children, internet safety advocates and child psychologists consider this to be one of the most ‘unaddressed public health issues of our time’.

And so, internet safety can only be enforced by parents, in constantly monitoring the activities of their children when they are online, in heeding the warning of teachers and principals of schools as well as the police, all in the best interests of their children.

How Social Media can Help Patients

It is easy to class social media as something used by those who have nothing better to do or by those who have something to sell. But in reality, social media has the potential to be a very powerful tool in a variety of different fields. One such field is healthcare.

Patients often find themselves looking for answers. They usually resort to looking online for information, because they simply do not have access to enough of a doctor’s time to completely satisfy their queries. Another reason is that, questions pop up in the mind long after they leave the doctor’s office. In these cases, it is always useful to look online for a solution.

But rather than get confused in medical jargon that may be found in medical articles, there is another method patient can utilize to find answers. Social media represents a way where patients can interact with others, especially those suffering from the same ailments. This allows them to compare notes and medications and try to find a way to alleviate suffering. This also enables them to find better medical care by finding doctors and facilities recommended by other patients through personal experience.

It also enables patients to inform and others about particular ailments or diseases. By creating awareness they are able to prevent others from contracting diseases, avoiding injuries and other medical nightmares. Social media has given patients a forum where they can openly discuss their issues without and fear and has also given them an avenue for hope.
