I thought a little more about how "big brother"-esque our church website is. I mean, just having that much information on me in one place is a little unnerving simply because it's probably easily accessible to a few people. I thought about just how much information is on me out there on the internet. I'm not worried about it, I mean I do voluntarily keep an INTERNET blog. But when I stop to think about the sheer bulk of information out there, it really is a lot of information.

For myself, all of my emails, txt messages, phone calls, are all saved somewhere in that digital cloud called the internet. Bank accounts, balances, credit cards and credit reports are out there. Every class I've enrolled for at every school is recorded digitally, and any transaction that I make on the internet or with a credit card is recorded on some server in the middle of nowhere. I recently read that Google or Yahoo can easily find out who you are and where you live based on your access to their email system, and also the search parameters that you might look up on their websites. Now most of this stuff is secure and encrypted, but it's probably easily accessible to governments or persistent hackers who want to cause trouble. I'm probably just skimming the surface, but it seems like we leave a heavy digital papertrail each day as we go about our daily business. And if I'm ever going to save the world from killer robots from the future, I'm gonna have to work on living "off-the-grid".
