Does this include using a Smart Phone? I suspect that many people do not 
think of using an App as using "The Internet".

The smart phone may give consumers a false sense of security. It would 
be good if people think twice before putting information in an App, or 
the Internet.

What will your family and friends, your employer, or the secret police, 
do with this data, perhaps decades from now?

That said, I guess you could find out just about everything about me 
on-line (including my shoe size). ;-)
