#115 - Do you know what cyberspace is saying about you?

The days of content disappearing into the ether are over. Everything we do online is being tracked, recorded, and often displayed somewhere. Each of us is tweeting, face-booking, blogging, and you-tubing a legacy that our families, our great grandchildren, will be able to read. The real question is: will we be proud of this online legacy?

The cautionary moral is obvious. Our true personality, and more importantly our character, is coming through loud and clear for the world to see in each of our social networks. Now that this is called to our attention, let’s make sure that anything we publish, openly or privately, is something we wouldn’t mind our children and grandchildren seeing.
