Readin Two- Search engines and internet tug of war

I thought the things I searched for were safe and personal; I didn't know that search engines (which I use alot) were invasive. Despite my awareness of the "crooks and crannies" in the internet, I think search engine companies shouldn't have access to and save searches done with their engines. I feel that my personal space and comfortablity with the internet has changed dramatically. I can't vow to never use them (search engines) again, I just think I'll have to be more careful with how I search and the words I use.

Reading One- Email Etiquette

I didn't realize the wrong and right ways to send emails; I figured the most detailed and summarized message was the best, but lacked or forgot the saying, "simplicity is key." I have a tendency to type whatever makes sense at the moment and don't know whether I am conveying what I am trying to say. I am all about details and WRITING BOLD to get a point across, but that's something I am finding I SHOULD REALLY work on and it is not professional. I felt the readings have shed light on the things I need to work on to present myself, via emial, in a more professional, nice and respectful manner.
