Connecting The Dots

Yesterday I sat down and Googled myself, and realized exactly how large my digital footprint is. I have been an internet user since Elementary school, use products that collect data on me, run a growing YouTube channel, and actively use social media. Seeing exactly how much information has been saved about me starts to make me feel a little dizzy. The unsettling part is, this is only searchable/view-able information. What other data have companies and the government collected that I'm not aware of? The internet has absolutely changed my life, with good and not so good results. 
One of the ways the internet has changed the world is through telecommuting. The article I studied says that work is no longer a place, but an action. The internet is revolutionizing the way that we work. I have a good work ethic and am excited for this change because it really rewards the people who know how to prioritize and produce quality work. My group presented the benefits and negatives of this revolution. We had a difficult time coming up with negatives because really, those are just adjustments that need to be made. As technology progresses, the world needs to adjust and the people need to set ground rules. The technology we use to work during travel and at home can jeopardize our privacy. These are things workers need to address as we continue the transition into more telecommuters.
