Anonymity

Something has been puzzling me lately, and I’m not sure if talking about it on here is the right thing or not, but I’m going to anyway.

With all the technology there is out there, why does one still think they are invisible? I know when you visit my blog. I know how many times a day, from what location, at what time, what operating system you use, and even your screen resolution among several other things. This isn’t front page news, as lots of bloggers use this way of tracking their visitors. So why do people still think they are “anonymous”, when they clearly aren’t? It’s like those people that have their eyes blocked out, but you can see the rest of their face. You still know who they are by all the rest of their features.

And so I sit here, puzzled even more, about people that “lurk” as well.
