What I don't get is how fast it changed, because it was like, up until 2004ish, everyone was freaking paranoid about information on the internet. I had friends who couldn't even give their first names. First names. Then a few years later ten year olds have Facebook accounts and barely anyone bats an eye. What happened? I mean, I am glad I can say I had online friends without people gasping in horror now, but for example, a friend of mine met some random person through CafeWorld, added them to FB, and naturally they ended up being creepy. But before that she said "it's like how you did it."

...except it wasn't, because no one ever knew who I was until I got to know them.

Yea, I remember the days when people were paranoid as fuck about giving out personal information. (Name, address, pictures, etc.) I was and still am one of those people, but at a certain point when facebook exploded pretty much everyone I knew online was adding everyone they knew online to their accounts.

To me it seems like a disaster waiting to happen, but I know that as time goes by fewer and fewer people will share this opinion.

THIS so much this

Yeah, that still kind of astounds me too. When I first joined fandom, I never would have dared to give anyone my name. Hell, I guarded my age with my life because I hung out on a lot of 18+ comms. I had pretty much a whole fabricated identity. Nowadays, there are 14 year olds who are open about their age, name, and don't give a fuck about posting porn or whatever. I've even seen people publicly post their home address on their blog. It blows my mind
