Typing my name into Google, I figured out that I am not Googleable. According to google, there is no information about me whatsoever. “Byeongjik” is very uncommon name even in Korea. There was NO information about me. Because I went by my nickname “B.J”when I played sports during high school, there were some information. I realized that it is very hard to find specific information I wanted to find out. Overall, I am not very good with finding information.
I think there are always both positive and negative effects in everything as well as googling. Some of the positive things are that when you are googling, you are able to find things that you are looking for most of time. For example, I was planning to buy a headphone so I typed headphone. There were a bunch of lists that showed me in different category. The most expensive to least, most popular to least, and more. It allows people to have a quick overview of things. Not only that, shoes, even famous brand companies, you can search and find things easily. While there are positive outcomes, there are negative effects such as negative feedbacks. This could lead a serious problem when it gets out of control. Overall, I think it is better to keep the privacy to myself.
It is interesting to see someone on the opposite side of the spectrum as I, with your name being ungoogable. Even when there is no information found about you, I still find that when my name is googled, the information about my name is in excess when compared to that which actually pertains to me. In addition, there is still an abundance of what can be found when you google your nickname, B.J. BJ is a common acronym for many different meanings, thus being possible to generate millions of more results, but when emphasizing the ability to find information about you it is close to impossible.
