Still not trusting

I looked at Flicker. It was interesting. BUT I still do not trust the internet. I don't believe that it is possible to keep "the world" from obtaining my info about me when I use the Internet as a open book. If I want to communicate or share picutes I want to do it most of the time by phone(when I want to talk) or by snail mail when i want to share picutes.
Acutally I guess it would be cheaper to use the Internet. BUT, in the long run, if someone steals my informaition and uses it to their advantage, it really wouldn't be cheaper.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
