How can info be available online if you delete the info?
All websites are hosted on computers called servers. Any information that is entered into any site, whether it is your bank information, a social site, or email service is not only entered onto a server, but it's also backed up onto other computer hard drives, usually in a different location. So, for example, you may delete an email from your online account, but it doesn't make the email totally go away as it will still exist on numerous servers across the Internet. It's the same with social network sites like Facebook and MySpace. All pages are backed up in case the main server crashes, the site can be restored from it's back up. So as a word of warning, be careful what you post to any computer, especially on the Internet.
