You know, we live in an interesting time. Anything and everything you toss out there on the internet has a high probability that it will stick there for, well… ever. I guess that’s one of the big things people need to think about, especially the younger folks, that you leave a legacy behind, a crumb trail of who you were, and that’s just terrifying! Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, whatevers… they all get cataloged in one way or another, even if you think it’s all private (yeah, good job facebook with that one). And the bigger issue is that many folks tend to lose their minds online. Just go to some forum somewhere, yeah, conversations degrade pretty quick. The internets is not as anonymous as you might think and pictures, videos, posts, etc have a way of resurfacing after a while. Heck, you can even get tagged in a photo that you didn’t even know was taken… and I hope you’re not doing something inappropriate! XD
Point is… use the internet wisely. Stuff kind of has a way of persisting and just think about how your kids, relatives, and future generations will view you.
I once met a guy in trade. Chat (swtor) who was just trolling becase he was bored
Only once?
lol, there’s quite a few planet Barrens…
The only way future generations will be able to track me is through the name Nivella, or NivellaQ87. I can’t think of a single place that has info on me, my twitter is q87 one and I don’t have a Facebook or MySpace. My google account is the same as twitter username. I don’t mind people tracing my personality between sites, but I in no way want it to ever come at me in real life. I treasure my lack of footprint.
That kind of makes me uneasy, but there again, these tools are too precious to go to waste. I bet our grand-grand-g-g-g-fathers would love to have their photos and recordings taken for future generations. I’m just worried what could become of these in the future
heh, seems like a good idea…
man, I’m just all over the place now!
my real name shows up nowhere, and I keep it that way. If anyone tracks my nicks - well, it’s still pretty scattered and innocuous. I’ve known about internet archives for over a decade and have been cautious about them.
very very sneaky there sir! >) probably for the best to tip toe anonymously on the net.
My real name RARELY shows up, but all my passwords are the same, and some sites have all my real info, so any slight work put it can reveal a ton about me. My answer for Other was “Jesus, they will burn all evidence of me”
hmm, idk mr.random, I watched Caprica and it seems to me that the best way to get reincarnated into a robot body with machine guns is to spread all your info out online as much as possible…
XD
