Scavenger Hunt

 Andrew Fry's Tinst 207 class Living and Working in the Virtual world, Wednesday we were assigned a Scavenger Hunt.
I was grouped with Carl, Amber and Colin, with a list of nineteen items to find throughout the internet.
It is amazing and exciting to think of all that can be done and found on the internet, right at your fingertips, all over the world without leaving your seat. To me, all that can be done on the internet is amazing. Truly. My sister can move the security cameras that are mounted on her home with one finger on her cell phone screen from Scotland in order to look around her house to make sure that all in well in Hawaii.
However, fear has raised it's ugly head once again. Number nineteen of the scavenger hunt was the question " What is my middle sister's married name?" All the class had to go on in order to find this name was the name of our professor Andrew Fry. Within the hour 1 group in the class had managed to find it. The professor's middle sister's first and married name. She may have no knowledge that we are able to find her current name.
This is phenomenal. But once again the breech of security or intrusiveness of finding an individual that may not want to be found. What about the loss of anonymity. Or is there such a thing any longer? I began this class hoping to ease my fears about the internet, when in fact that may not be possible.
Perhaps I need to just accept the ugly truth It's already out there. And that our anonymity is already gone.
