What Goes Online is Forever
We hear it all the time... anything typed into a computer keyboard can never be taken down; with all computers tied together by the internet everything is permanently out there for all time.
Then why is it that deleted data can never be brought back?
Yes, I know there are software tools that can resurrect certain deleted hard-drive files, but that's only A.) if they've been saved to the hard-drive in the first place, and B.) so long as it hasn't been written over.
The other day I wanted to bring back a form previously uploaded to this website and deleted by myself, but I changed my mind and wanted to retrieve it but it no longer exists unless and until we learn the original source that a member brought it from.
Another idea that doesn't hold true in real life is the notion that anything can be "Googled" (found).
The number of empty web searches could fill the Grand Canyon, assuming that "emptiness" can fill anything other than a school girl's "feelings".
