Internet Footprint

An internet footprint is a trail that you leave on the internet by doing just about anything. And if someone knows how to follow that footprint(s), it will lead back to you, and sometimes, that is too creepy for a normal person. It's a little scary to think that some pasty white, thin, stranger creeper may have the ability to steal your identity, find your kids, wife, husband, family, money, assets, know where you live, know where your family is everyday, and have access to pictures of you, your house, kids, wife, everything...all with the clicks of a mouse. Real creeps are out there, but there are ways to avoid leaving such tracks. By logging out after youre done browsing, deleting cookies, using a usb drive for browsing, browsing on an anonymous server, etc. can help you to not leave tracks.

  1. This is true however think of the things it could do for national security,we could catch the bad guys before they even start their attacks. Or how it can help employers to decide which people to hire or not to hire.
