"The Web Means The End of Forgetting"

The title of this article pretty much explains it all. "The Web Means The End of Forgetting" sounds very scary and it is very scary because it is true. Throughout the entire article, the author kept on showing examples of how things are never erased. The author even went as far as to mention web deleting companies in this article to further prove this. I wanted to see if it was true, of course I believed him because of all the people he mentioned, but I wanted to try it. I Googled myself, and since Google now can find you location, it looked for Cody Martinez  in Pueblo pictures. What I found were pictures of me from the paper, my FaceBook, and even some pictures of my friends that I have on FaceBook. It seems to be very true that the Internet doesn't forget. That scares many people. But, there are people out there that are trying to look out for, the companies and places that the author cites, but the best protection out there is to not post anything that you wouldn't want people to see. I hope in the future, the Internet will forget everything and people will not be afraid of the Internet.
