I think back to the days of phone books; when everyone was published in a directory, but now it's more than a name, address and phone number: we've added our likes, dislikes, all comments and personal opinions directly linked to our legal identities. Do people realize the risks or just don't care about them?

I first used my real name when I purchased my birthday gift for my mother online. She really loved it and I prefer ordering online since it's hassle free.
