Deep Thoughts by Jack Camel (4)
I guess I have never given much thought to anonymity on the internet. Really, you can figure out alot about a person just from perusing their Web sites. People are really careless about labelling and passwords and stuff. I mean, how many people have their home phone numbers up on their Web sites?
As a graduate student, I think it's important that students be able to get a hold of me, but at the same time, I don't think they should be able to get ahold of me ANY time. And all it takes is one hostile individual with stalking tendencies...
Maybe I sound paranoid. But I just posted about a gazillion pictures to Yahoo and am wondering whether I should replace the descriptive (first names only) file names with numbers. I always hated when people left pictures as numbers...makes it so hard to know which is which. But now I am thinking maybe it's not such a bad idea. What do you guys think?
