Keep Wandering Eyes off Your Computer Screen

Keep Wandering Eyes off Your Computer Screen

Have you ever been in a coffee shop, on an airplane or in any other public place using your laptop only to look over and notice that the person next to you seemed to be a little too interested in what you were doing? Or perhaps you yourself are guilty of taking a peek at someone's work on a computer screen over their shoulder.

Most Americans admit to sneaking glances at other's computers. In fact, 72 percent of us do! And although this is a widespread issue, 69 percent of people don't shield, turn off or log off their computer at work, while traveling, in waiting areas, at coffee shops, or in any other public spaces.

With laptop sales and wireless Internet access increasing, more and more of us are using our computers in public places. But personal information disclosure laws are becoming stricter, and identity theft and corporate information loss cost billions each year. One of the most effective ways to combat prying eyes and keep computer information private is to use a 3M Privacy Filter.

3M Privacy Filters are lightweight, black plastic screens that block side views of laptop and desktop computers while allowing a clear view for the user. But rather than just blurring side vision like other filters - oftentimes not securing discreet information - 3M Privacy Filters actually block side vision because the screen appears to be totally black. With the unique microlouvre technology, the person next to you might even think your computer is powered off.

The screen is lightweight, flat and easily transferable. The 3M Privacy Filter can be removed when privacy is not a concern and replaced in public or high-traffic areas.

Always be aware of your surroundings when using a computer, especially when dealing with sensitive information. When you are out in public with your computer, use a screen filter like the 3M Privacy Filter to ensure privacy.
