Are We Giving Away Too Much?

And along with modern technology comes the fact that we also have put our lives all over social media. That means pertinent information on databases, our names on our email, even our phones have location services. And most of these things that we do give out, we do without even thinking twice. But how do we experience these little social joys if we don’t give in to the necessary bits of information required to be part of them? We need to check if we’ve given away too much, and end up forgoing our safety in th process.

Everything We Put Out On The Net, Stays

First things first, remember that whatever you put on the World Wide Web stays there. Shocking but true. You may think that the ‘delete’ button on your computer has all the power in the world to erase the things that you no longer want to be known or seen. But surprisingly, it does little to actually expunge the information, photos, tiny little details, basically anything that you have already put out there and into the world. So be very careful about how much you want to divulge on a public domain, no matter how many ‘privacy settings’ are in place.
