In The Newspaper

Hiding on the internet

            I found this title to a story in the newspaper. I thought it was interesting. “Hiding on the Internet.” That’s such a strange title for me… how does one hide on the internet? Do they mean hide yourself, or the things you see, or who you talk to? I’m curious to know what that means.

            There are many mysteries with the internet. We don’t know how many things are on there or how much of the world’s data is on there. It blows my mind to think about the enormous amount of information that is out there just sitting, waiting to be seen. There’s almost nothing you can’t find. It’s almost like, anything that was or is, is on the internet somewhere.

            I wonder who would try to hide on the internet though, or what is hiding on the internet. criminals, husbands cheating on their wives, wives cheating on their husbands, hackers, spy’s, anything and anyone could be on there doing god only knows what. If there are so many people on the internet then how would anything be really hidden? We many never know.

            Then there’s the government. They can see everything that we do and hear everything we do. They can see crimes before they even happen. Your laptops can be used to spy on people by the government. You could be sitting at home watching TV while someone is watching you at the same time. I honestly think there’s no privacy on the internet anymore. I don’t really believe that anything could be hidden on the internet.
