Google: me

I just "googled" myself just like celebrities do, and i gotta say, I wasn't sure what I would find...
The most surprising thing was that I actually found something! Not much was related to me, a few things about some Amber Paxton on the deans list at the University of Florida and one in Phoenix who had their resume online. I however found something good, something from 2005! I was in a High class Art Exhibition in grade 12 and the pamphlet they gave out with my name on it came out... I tried googling my email address as well, and found a few more cases of what i have done. In way i feel like big brother is watching, but its really just the world wide web. We have lost any privacy we once had and anything can be posted online! With more and more blogs people are writing, you could be a topic and anything someone else says can in most cases not be censored because you dont like it. Has it just not clicked in with us that someday ALL of this stuff will be viewed and will not easily go away? Possible sex tapes and incriminating pictures(100s them) on Facebook, blog posts...where does it end? My next question is about when will it go? How long after Facebook is old will it take for the website to start deleting you crap?If someday the world has a major devastating thing happen to it, will there still be a facebook, what needs to remain the intact in order for websites to still work? I just confused myself...

Im completing a "googling" experiment and seeing what i can dig up...
I found out that Nick Hill is a furniture designer, very interesting indeed.
Nothing on my parents or brother, which isnt surprising because none of them use the internet...
i found brittany's webpage thing from myspace tv... I can also see her list of friends.
Blair spitters from london has an id number of 793 on a website called grenade army list?
Rudy once purchased a Mr. Sandbag Footbag and commented on how fast it got to him.
Martin Healy is well exactly what he is a GIS specialist..boring
Ron Koudys our millionare professor, has a lot to look at (journals, projects completed etc.)

Well Ive never thought about it before but most of us can be found, so just try and hide.
