 Hands
up all you Internet users who have never once looked up your own name in
a search engine.
Hmmm .
. . Just as I thought. I cannot see a single hand.
Not
that it’s anything to be ashamed of, this cyberspace Search for Self. I
do it all time.
Now,
“Tony Rogers” being a rather conventional combination of names, it’s not
surprising, I suppose, that there are so many of me on the Net. Last
time I looked, in fact, Google found over 2,500 pages for me.
Taken
individually, my multiple personalities are all confidently autonomous,
but seeing them en masse is enough to bring on an identity
crisis. What a variety of occupations I seem to pursue. If truth be told
I have yet to come to terms with how talented (and ubiquitous) I really
am.
For
instance, I’m a military engineering technician. Somehow I’m also an
Associate Professor of Oral Microbiology. I’m a vocalist. I’m a DJ. I’m
an evangelist. I’m an aviation expert, too. I even seem to be a
footballer . . .
Once I
log off and sanity gradually returns, however, I rest reasonably certain
that I have never been any of the above, though I did once have a groin
strain. |
