vanishing act

After reading this article, my eyes were really opened. I had some idea about how much information can be found on the Internet, but the things Ratliff’s readers discovered about him are crazy! Tracking down his cat sitter! That is just crazy to me and really made me think about what kind of information I have online that is available to the public. After reading this article I logged on my Facebook and viewed my page as an outsider would. All they can see is my basic information and see my profile picture. Nowhere does it say my status or where I currently am. For Ratliff technology was his downfall. It is truly amazing how dependent we are on technology these days and how hard it is to function with out it. When I say technology I don’t just mean your computer, I mean ATM, cell phone, GPS, Ipod…etc. Almost anything with Internet access can act as a GPS. Overall this was a very interesting article.
