Unfortunately, 9/11 and the technological book occurred at, relatively, the same time. There is now a generation of Americans that know no other existence other than a world of government surveillance and ubiquitous technology in all aspects of their lives. They have grown up in a society not knowing or understanding what true privacy is. Their lives play out on Facebook, from petty squabbles to minor interactions with law enforcement. What once would be private and not held against you is now kept, in perpetuity, on the internet where anyone could potentially access it.

None of your social media information should ever be accessible to a potential university or employers without a warrant. The best advice would be to never have a social media account at all. If you must have one, lock it down and protect it as much as you can. Then, fight for your right to keep that information private, while being mindful that what you do online could, one day, come back to haunt you.' ..
