Michelle Toni Google Search

As the assignment asked, I first searched the various website to observe diversity in my hometown. When looking at my county, cook county in Illinois, as a whole it seemed generally diverse (50% white, and the rest pretty much evenly divided between black, asian, and hispanic). However, when zooming in to just my hometown, Barrington, I realized that my county must be very segregated because Barrington had about 90% white and about 5% asian, 5% hispanic, and no black. I then went on to google search various versions of myself, Michelle Toni, Toni, Michelle, Michelle Toni Facebook, my email address, etc. What I noticed is that my Twitter account and Pinterest account popped up on the google search results, but not my Facebook. This could probably be explained by the fact that my Twitter and Pinterest are open to the public as my privacy settings allow them to be visible, while my Facebook is set to private. However, even with my Facebook settings at private, there were a few pictures from my Facebook that still popped up in the google images results. Although most of the results were not me, I'm sure as my online identity starts to build through home purchasing and business profiles and other means, my online identity will continue to grow with it.
