Over the course of 15 hours, I've become very conscious of my presence on the internet, and it all began with my father unintentionally showing the reach of various actions I've taken around the web. He originally tried to show me some records of his grandfather, but he eventually showed me Google image search results of himself, and I, of course, ended up appearing in the results since my name is literally a superset of his. I soon realized that comments I've made on YouTube videos have been indexed by Google.
Internet privacy is a one-way street: you can park on the side, or you can keep driving down, but going the other direction requires immense amounts of work. The farther up the street you travel, the farther you've lost your privacy. Going up the street will let you access a greater amount of destinations, but the moment you wish to hide yourself from the people you don't want to find you, you can't just switch the gear into reverse and drive up the street.
While I don't want to destroy what privacy I do have, I wish to let Google's algorithms improve my online visibility. I've learned anything from the 21st century, I know that networking is very important. Many encounters have happened on the internet because of something someone saw somewhere. Although I'm young, and what I've done pales in comparison to what the almighty Jeff Dean has done, the cliche goes big things have small beginnings.
[Hey, if you've seen this, that means I'm not finished yet.]
[I've got to meet a daily post quota, somehow.]
