By having more of our lives online, will our daily lives become more visible to outsiders on the internet?
How do we prevent outsiders from viewing and tracking even the smallest details of our lives?
It goes hand in hand, the more time you spend online- the more visible you become to everyone on the internet. Depending on what you do online; blog, facebook, or shop, you are constantly filling out information about yourself. When you’re on facebook, you are describing your everyday activities to others. You share your photos with everyone on the internet when you post a profile picture. All shopping websites will also store your information before you can make a purchase. Sites such as amazon and ebay will even gather your purchasing trends.
In order to prevent outsiders from tracking the smallest details of our lives, you need to be more careful on which information you’re sharing online. You should only post information that you are willing to release. You might think that if you post something on Facebook, it will only be shown on Facebook. However, these days that’s not the case. You can share something on facebook and it’ll spread throughout the whole internet within days. It’s completely up to you on how much information you’re willing to release to the internet.
