Identity Theft and IP Changers
Identity theft; a hundred years ago, nobody would have understood what that even means. Perhaps they would have thought it was a just a fallacy produced by some science fiction movie, but they didn’t even have science fiction movies yet. Identity theft is a product of the Information Generation, and at no other point in history has one’s identity been able to be stolen. Any identity for someone from at least one hundred years ago was your own personal image; the clothes you wore, the things you did, the people you associated with: a highly social concept. Nowadays though, your identity is delineated by your social security number, your phone numbers, and other little strands of data that truly mean nothing but also mean everything.

It seems kind of ironic; one’s identity is shown by a bunch of numbers and passwords and user names. When you think about it though, it really does make sense. A hundred years ago, there simply weren’t as many people, and those people lived in small towns where everyone knew everything about everyone else. Nowadays we live in crowded cities pretty much running into each other while trying to walk on the street. Instead of just having to watch out for a slowly moving horse drawn carriage, we have to beware and yield (a car yielding in a busy city just doesn’t happen) to huge sport utility vehicles, speeding through the streets desperate not to hit any red lights. These people in the small towns were all known by first and last names; the government today could never keep track of all American citizens like that, so we are each assigned a social security number; a numerical value that becomes who you are to the United States government, and a tool that makes it much easier and faster to search for and find people.
