It was in the 90’s when people were scared of putting their full name on a website. It was considered dangerous to give out so much information. We’ve moved miles when it comes to posting private information on the internet. There is a known rule “If you are on the internet, you can’t go back”. We’ve all seen people (not to mention names or acts), do some dumb stuff e.g posting to the wrong e-mail, some private mobile vidoes exposed on youtube.
There is a pretty interesting site called pleaserobme.com that does a very simple twitter search on “left home”, and shows their tweets. A very handy site for people who want to be rich without working hard.
Now don’t get me wrong here, the Internet is one of the greatest inventions of humanity. Where there is people there is scams and spams.
It happens to be so that whenever we are having lunch at our office and get to a discussion about technology and various API’s. The topic of privacy pops in every now and then. Funnily enough it also happens every now and then that the conclusion that comes is that
“THERE IS NO UNDO ON THE INTERNET, PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND DON’T DO ANY STUPID SHIT”.
We live in interesting times. – (Quote from modius). More on that in the next post.
