Look at the information about yourself on the Internet – on your profile or home page. Can you use this information to find out even more about yourself?

Use a search engine, a phone directory or other public sources of information. Combine different types of input, such as name + year, nickname + school etc.

- Did you find something you didn’t know was on the Internet? - Is the information you found correct and true? - Did you find anything that made you uncomfortable?

To some extent you are what I read about you. Many people might be interested in information about you: Friends and family, future employers, commercial interests and criminals. What impression will someone who combines all the information they can find about you on the Internet get?

A search engine will register your computer (IP-address) every time you make a search. Can you find out if the search terms used are stored by Google or the other search engines, and for how long?

- How can this information be used (or abused)?
