Activity #1- Digital Tattoo Debate
Consider the reasons someone might want to search about you online?

Activity #2- Digital Tattoo Search
Search the name your group has been given using:
Google
www.pipl.com
MIT’s Personas at http://personas.media.mit.edu/
www.archive.org’s Wayback Machine
Discuss your impressions of this person based on what you found online. For example,
What did you find out about the person being searched?
Was all the information accurate?
What do you think is missing?
What does this exercise tell us about data mining?
How might your digital tattoo compare to the one searched?
Elect someone to share your observations with the group.

What you should know…
If you’ve ever been online, people can find out about it
Less privacy than you would think
Caching by websites means what you put online is hard to delete

People want to connect
People want all the information they
can get in real time.
Twitter gives access to both professional
journalists and the view from the ground.
