Technology QotW: You Can Run, but You Can't Hide...
As soon as the press learned the name of the prostitute associated with Eliot Spitzer, pictures from her MySpace and Facebook accounts were splashed across the web. Do you ever worry about how much personal information there is about you on the internet?
Not really. I'm not concerned about it really, I take accountability for my actions so walk into situations well aware of their possible ramifications.
I think I revealed myself in a few places. I don't think it's hard to 'find me' and for someone like me, it's not hard to find people if I apply myself. So, this isn't the issue. The issue is, what if I do something society wants me to be ashamed of and someone finds my web spaces? It just happens. I can't say everyone agrees with me now or always harbor good intentions when viewing my info. It's the curse of the digital age.
I'm not sure the right person has the focus of this question. I mean, she does something people don't agree with and she gets paid more to do that than I do for working my ass off for longer hours. No, let's reign in our attention on Mr. Spitzer, a governor who in his days prior to taking office investigated and prosecuted people for the very thing he was caught doing. He's the one who should have worried. Transporting a woman whose services he paid to some "club" in order to have sex with her? *tsk* Funny, most "regular" non state official type guys get tossed in jail for paying for sex WITHIN the state. I haven't seen him getting hauled off.
