When I searched my name on white pages all I found was the city where I lived, which was technically incorrect and my cell phone carrier. I found a lot of interesting statistics about my hometown on FactFinder such as the median household income (80,000), percentage of people with health insurance (94.1%) and the percentage of people below the poverty level(7.4%). It was very interesting to see all these statistics about where I live, and it would be cool to look at those statistics versus the national averages. Next I searched my address on AccessDane and found some information about my apartment complex. It surprised me how much a relatively small apartment complex was still worth so much money. The most interesting thing I found in the New York Times site was how little racial diversity there was in my county. I knew that my county was predominantly white, but looking at some other counties made me realize just how much of a majority whites are in my county compared to some others.
Next I searched myself on Facebook, and was able to find my profile pictures, several things I liked, and a few other pieces of information like what city I lived in and my Facebook friends. When I Googled my name all I found where links to some of my social media accounts, my times in some runs I had participated in and a picture of me that had appeared in a local newspaper.
Overall, I am satisfied with the kind of things people can find when they search for me. There was probably a little more information on there than I would like, but I am sure that a lot of my peers have many worse things on their social media accounts and for the most part I have been pretty responsible with mine.
