Problem: By John Buckle Ever wanted to know a little more about yourself than you already do ? I did so I put my name in a search engine and started an online background check of my past . It did n't take long before I was navigating through websites and I found out where and when I was born , where I had gone to school ( did that seem like an age ago ! )

What may have happened if he had not done a search ?

A: He would not know anything about his background .

Problem: And hunt down Rachel Maddow . That will require going in the evening , I think . And I do n't know if I ' m that brave , because that 's apparently when the protesters get brave too . And I want to go to Target today .

A:
They are worried that the protest will be rowdy .
