Reading
This will be very short this week.
The first reading wasn't coming up for me, and the youtube link was taken down due to copyright violations!
The second reading was interesting in a scary way. I read through a lot of it, and clicked through many of the links. If I'm reading it right, it pretty much says that you are never anonymous on the internet, and your activity can be tracked for no reason. I guess I knew that all along though. We were one of the first families that I knew of that had internet access, because my always loved computers and networking. Even in the early 90's though, he taught me that you really shouldn't say anything on the internet that you wouldn't say in real life, because even if you hide your name, you're never anonymous. The scary part is that the government can and does track your information.
