The IP Address Tracker
If you ever heard of an IP address tracker? It sounds to me like something the post office might use. Actually, it has something to do the Internet world. Let me explain:
A great deal of us use the web to our advantage on a daily basis. But it's also a good idea to know what you're telling the world about yourself, just by surfing a website. Are you leaving a trail behind? You may want to ponder this concept before your next surf to a website. Our computers do leave their own fingerprints. This characteristic is called an IP address.
Have you any idea what your IP Address might be? It's displayed above. More importantly, did you know that anyone can use an ip address tracker to find out where you are? That is also displayed above - this is what is already known about you when you surf to any website on the Internet.
Just this morning I was checking my email, and a website for dating was advertised on my browser. I clicked on it just to see what it was all about and it turned out to be an ad for singles and dating in my area. Then it informed me what my town was called and who was available in it for dating. Frankly, I wasn't at all surprised that this information was known. However, that just goes to show you with the click of a mouse, that website tapped into my computer's identity. They must use some sort of ip address tracker.
Whenever we use the Internet's wonderful resources, we rarely concern ourselves with where we're going. It's just another adventure through the web. While this is fine, you may want to consider what is being recorded about you.
