Net Creeps

I'm sure other people have talked about this already, but the internet could be a bit creepy in 100 years. What I mean by that is.....if a person has a level of internet participation, their legacy could be a search and a mouse click away.

(assuming web browsers, google, and mice are even used 100 years from now!)

Blogs, home pages, and social networking sites contain a tremendous amount of personal info. Will people start to study "the old net" like palaeontologists dig for fossels? Will lives be reconstructed by *really* bored futuroids?

Ah, the planet will probably self-destruct before that happens, so I guess it's dumb to think about it.
