Evan Ratliff: Vanish

I thought this was a pretty interesting story. Sometimes I cant help but to wonder if I could do this myself, which i doubt because my mother would have the U.S Marshals looking for me and my face would be on every television new station in a matter of hour. I think that he was asking some really good questions on why he wanted to do this. He wondered how hard it is to vanish in the digital age. I don't think that is a hard question to answer. Now and days people can track where your are right from your phone. Sometimes I think that its a bit ridiculous, but it could be used as a great tool to find missing people and things like that.

I wondered why he changed his whole appearance. I know his intent was to eventually get caught but how would somebody who never saw him really know its him if they only have a picture of him or seen a picture of him once. I thought that he should have just kept his appearance and just go into hiding. that would have made the search even more exciting. I was shocked by how many people were on to the chase just a couple of hours of wired.com posting it. I thought that people would look at it as some kind of joke and just not really pay attention to it. Maybe it was the money that convinced them that he really went missing, because that would have convinced me but in all a really interesting and fascinating story it really shows us how good our digital world really is.
