Because of Google, I Know What You Did Last Summer…
Print
In fact with more and people journalling their experiences, recording their lives and generally sharing their pictures, videos and thoughts online, it should come as no surprise to find your life mentioned in this new super-rich-media history of the world.
The lines between the real world and the virtual are blurred more each day, and the collective pool of information is becoming more of an ocean - deep and murky and very capable of drowning the unwary.
In some cases the information available dates back to the early 1990’s when bulletin boards and news groups were popular. But now storage is dirt-cheap, academia is digitizing the past and making that information available too.
And Web2.0 (and then 3, 4 and so on…) are only going to make matters worse - or is that better? A richer more social online experience, more openness, more sharing…
Ahh, just makes you want to run out and give the world a great big hug doesn’t it.
So, when I say I know what you did last summer, I wasn’t kidding. In short order as technology records the passing moments in more and more detail, the past will become a blink behind us and I’ll be able to know what you did almost as fast as you do it.
How’s that for freaking you out about personal branding, online reputation management, career marketing and let’s not forget … online dating.
