I absolutely agree with you. It's very important to be cautious on the internet. It can be scary when someone googles your name and finds a whole bunch of information about you. That is the reason why I give the computer wrong information all the time. I love your random note toward the end. ( I haven't watched Sherlock though).

For me, the concept of my information being available to anyone who thinks to Google my name is a bit scary. Fortunately, I'm a little odd and therefore, do not have much interest in the greatest number of social media profiles possible. The only information that is available if one decides to search me is a Google plus profile, and I'm beginning to think that one can only find that if they are signed in under my name. I didn't attempt to find my own name without having signed in, since it would probably take me a very long time, if there ever were something there. However, if I were exceedingly similar to the rest of the teenaged population and I did have a ridiculous amount of information online, I would most likely be panicking. Well, if I did have the level of intellect I currently possess, I would have started panicking a good bit earlier. But I digress. With the internet commandeering our lives at such an increasing pace, one would think it easy to be caught up in it, and swept away like it were a tsunami. However, if a person would carefully think through their online actions and every word they say, as if they were displaying it on a billboard for the entire world to see, they would discover that remaining safe online is not as difficult as many of us have been led to believe. Simply refusing whenever a website requests personal details that are not absolutely necessary would prevent many websites from acquiring important information. Whenever a website absolutely needs a certain piece of information, one can simply supply false information. For example, my Google Plus account reads that I live in Riddermark, at the Golden Hall, a location from the excellent fantasy series 'Lord of the Rings,' by J R R Tolkien. Google Plus doesn't mind if my data is obviously falsified. I can choose not to put sensitive information on the internet, and I can input obviously false information in the place of required actual information. For these reasons, I don't believe that there is any true reason for me to be overly worried about my internet safety.
*I apologize for my use of unusually formal language. I have been watching far too much British TV lately. (If you don't watch Sherlock, begin doing so immediately.)
