Digital Footprints

I am always amazed with the results of searching my name on Google. Typically, I try to keep things very limited on the Internet and in the “cloud” if you will. I found a couple of pictures of myself, which was a little annoying. I discovered information about me pertaining to pass donations, networking sites and former employments. I do not recall the passwords for the networking sites so I have not gotten around to removing them. In reality, I will definitely do so because I can be a little neurotic about things. Although, it is interesting to see that my first and last name is very popular where there are several hits for other people. Therefore, it should not come a surprise that I use an alias to avoid all the confusion. J Honestly, after this class, I will return to having majority of my information private or allow limit restrictions. I believe this is a great activity to use with adolescent to show how putting information on the Internet can always follow the person regardless of how hard the person tries to remove the information.
