Thoughts about Footprint Presentations

What interested me the most between all the presentations was definitely the new Google privacy policy. If someone has any kind of g-mail, YouTube or Google related account, then they automatically have to watch out what they are searching for on the internet. I know sometimes people are just curious about random things and would probably be embarrassed if another person was monitoring them. As for the rest of the digital footprint "no-nos," it is going to be unbelievably hard for almost anyone who is on the internet to be completely safe.  Good luck everyone!

Response to the Digital Footprint Videos

Well, after watching a few of the Digital Footprint videos I am a little scared. Anyone can basically steal anyone's identity. I've been aware that skilled hackers were able to do this before, but now it seems as though it has become easy enough for anyone to do it. As for the content that people are willing to put on the internet (such as Facebook statuses and pictures,) I believe it is entirely up to that person. They know others are going to see it and if they get in trouble, they shouldn't be surprised.
