| Summary | This investigation exposed how dangerous it is for students to place a lot of personal information online. The authors used a website, www.thefacebook.com, to track down students' addresses and telephone numbers. Then, they went to surprise the students; many were surprised at how easily they were tracked down, and even took their personal information off of the website. |
