Your Privacy Off & Online

After watching a Ted Talk about your electronic tattoos, I have learned a lot of scary information about what online holds on you. What ranges from a picture of you to where you live, what job you have, and family members. Facial recognition is one of the newer technologies, but with a simple picture, the correct person can identify more about you than you would tell them on a first date. This technology is powerful enough to make you want to wear a mask or not show your face in public. There are companies with billions of registered faces in databanks that are identified.  These "online tattoos," aren't going anywhere either. As a matter of fact, they will outlive every person that has anything on them out their. The big data being collected has safety benefits but its not perfect. We can dig on the background of our loved ones, finding something we might not have expected from them. These tattoo's stain you with your history. Pinning every momentous memory to your name. You should think before you post, you never know who is gonna see it and when.
