I think back in the early days it was all about keeping safe, but since the likes of Facebook it's mostly open now of who you might be. I don't like the new generation of the net being all social networking sites... Keep your friends close, but your family well out of the way!
I fully agree. Besides of the Facebook mania (By the way, can anybody explain, please, why that balloon is worth zillions of $$$$ ?), the blo...y internet has made us more transparent as we really wanted to be. You can see that every time when cleaning up your brower's cookies folder....
Does anybody here remember the Fido net? By it's time in the 80s, I think it wasn't yet open for our friends living east of the former so-called Iron Curtain. Fido had some more "familiarity" than the i-net - sorry, I'm lacking the correct term... And I'm running out of topic anyway. Sorry again.
