I agree with you that people should not reveal personal information over the 
internet.  It's probably easier to get information off of the net then to go 
dumpster diving for it.

internet cookies. A cookie is something that is placed in your computers memory 
from a particular web site. Next time you visit that web site, they access that

were there. Whether it be something you bought, looked at, or just when you 
logged in, they make web surfing much more personalized. Some people don't like 
them, citing that they don't want information about them being kept without 
them knowing, but there is an option to turn it off. In my opinion, ignorance 
is no excuse and people should know to take preventative measures before 
entering information on the internet.
