On the Grid

So we all know that we live in a very digital age. No question about it. I mean the average person has about a bagillion electronics on their person at all time. But, have you ever stopped to think just how plugged in we are?

Just yesterday I finally gave into my friend's pleading and set up a tumblr account. (Don't get me wrong, I'm already addicted. It's the perfect way to satisfy my criminal minds obsession :P) But, it got me thinking. I probably have over 20 accounts on the internet. I have a facebook, a yahoo, a tumblr, a blogger, an iTunes, tons of accounts for college websites, and countless other accounts (such as on Taylor Swift's website, Owl City's app, abc.com, dogchannel.com, playlist.com the list just goes on)

How many of these accounts do I actually use? I only check the first five daily, the rest I haven't been on in weeks, months, or even years. Do I remember their passwords? Nope not really. Will they just stay there forever? Probably, yeah.

It's been said the internet is forever, and I'm just wondering how much of a digital trail I'm leaving behind.
