Public Records

We've been learning about PUBLIC RECORDS in class. I find it so facinating how you can just go on a website, type a persons name, and find out information about them. This can be very useful for journalists but also very dangerous if the information fell into the wrong hands. I am a bit worried about the amound of information that is readily available for the world to see. It is an amazing tool for journalists to use when reporting on someone or something. However, I fear that criminals can use it for the wrong thing.

We've been playing around with the sites, so let's see how quickly I learn to navigate through these pages. Let's see who I will find information on!

Till next time...
