During class today we performed a series of online searches in understanding how many and what kind of searches available. Some of the searches involved finding some of our professor's professional information and personal information (like the name of his middle sister). Many, if not all, of the searches were easily performed from searching with Google or other popular search engines. The searches consisted of finding a specific person, or perhaps a post from a message board posted this instant.
It was an interesting exercise in how easy, and fast, it is to dig up personal information on an individual. It brings to question our privacy on the internet in what people can find about us.
