How Private is your Life?
If you're anything like the majority of Americans, you walk around freely and don't pay much attention to what your future bosses and acquaintances will think of you. You probably let time decide. That's how it should be, right? Actually... not really. Your current situation will affect you for the rest of your life. How? the answer lies beyond this link: http://www.facebook.com/ . "But that's... that's Facebook! My Facebook!" yeah, no duh. Click on your profile, then click 'Info'. There's my answer. do you see your interests as "Yo Momma, Weed, Ass 'n' Titties, drunk drivin'" or something along the lines of that? If you answered "no," answer this: is there anything you wouldn't want your grandma seeing? you probably answered "yes." Think of all the bosses on the planet that you have a chance of working for in the future as millions of your grandmother(s). (ew, dude, you've got like, millions of grandmas). They all look at this stuff and say "dude this guy's like, major wierd." and automatically cancel you out of their "To Hire" list. Why? Facebook is PAID to sell your information to businesses. They're not about privacy, and they're not about keeping what you want private, well, private. I'm not here asking for you to "band up and rip down facebook from the center out" (lol Braveheart) I'm just kind of urked that this is actually happening. What's your point of view? Comment and let me know.
