I have a friend who doesn’t exist on the Internet. He is bland as bland can be, yet he still refuses to put any of his identification online. He once warned me, “Once you are on, you can’t get off.” I thought about it for a while and realized it was too late for me. What was he afraid of? Probably nothing. He has led such an unblemished life that any attention would seem like a scandal to him.

Most of us are forever branded online. I would love to remove a few things about myself but learned over the years that was impossible. Then I came across this information in USA Today that talked about deleting yourself from the Internet. I immediate became fascinated. Read it for yourself and tell me what you think.
