It is very easy to get information on line. Even if you think there is nothing about you on line, there is most likely something about you that can be found. I only have a face book page, that is private, but I went on the poke you site and found other information that I never thought was available. You could not find my exact address on their, but it was scary how many peoples address you could find. To me it is very scary how much information you can find on line about people. This information makes it very easy for criminals to find you and hurt you. Not just sex offenders are people that can find you and hurt you, but there are also people that will try to, and a lot of times succeed, at stealing your identity. It also gives an easy target for cyber bullying, millions of teens are victims of cyber bullying a year, and it is sad. If your information is not available on line, that makes it a lot harder for people to steal your identity, find you, and or hurt you.
For our little assignment, I could not find that much information about myself, but I am also not that technical with computers. The only thing I believe I have on line about myself is with my face book page and my space page, and I do not put personal information about myself on there. I am cautious about on line privacy, and it worries me how it easy it it to gather information.
