My Data Identity
I like to think of myself as a unique individual. But apparently, my name is not so unique. Absolutely nothing about me shows up when I search my name on a web browser. I have been pretty upset throughout my life that it takes so much specificity to find information about me in a google search. While all of my friends could easily find themselves and felt famous, I was lost in the sea of Morgan Tucker’s, which is strange because I have only met a few Morgans and no Morgan Tuckers.
But now that I am more educated on the dangers and ethical issues of online data, I am more relieved than upset to know I am not that easy to find online. Though it is comforting to know this, it is problematic the information that can be found about me does not paint an accurate picture of who I am. Even if everything about me came up when searching my name, online information and data can never portray an accurate representation of a person’s authentic self, as this is constantly evolving and changing.
Online Presence Past
Like all overprotective parents in the 2000s, my parents were extremely worried about me being online. They did not even love the idea of me having a Webkinz account. So when I was finally allowed to have an ipad, they made it very clear I was not allowed to get social media. Well, like any child of overprotective parents growing up in the 2000s, I went against their wishes and secretly got an Instagram and twitter account. It’s not like they even had accounts to find me. But I did follow one rule: never use my last name and real birthday on accounts. So most of my accounts are under Morgan Tuck or Morgan T., and do not have my birthday or accurate age. I guess my parents had some good intentions because this is what I believe is what makes it extremely hard to find information about me with a simple search.
