Tutorial Questions Day 6

I was quite hesitant yet somewhat intrigued to see what sort of information was on the internet about me. The tutorial task required me to Google "Jodie Worth" into the search engine. Firstly, I searched the web and was very surprised. I didn't find any direct link to my facebook account however, this blog that I'm currently typing is on the second page.
I found some indirect links to me through the use of my friends. I found comments that I had posted on my friends wedding photographer's blog, and various comments that I had posted back in the years of Myspace and more recently Facebook.
I then wanted to see what photos there were of me in the images section of this search engine. The first picture of me (my friend posted it on Facebook), was of me in a low cut dress... Not an appropriate picture for my future students to see :|
This made me very nervous to what I would further find as a scroll down. The only other photo's that were directly of me were of me and the other Bridesmaids at my friends wedding. I found it extremely weird that I saw quite a few photo's of my friends photo's and their old Facebook profile pictures when searching my name.

Is there away for us to remove these photos?

• How would you define the term 'ontology'? In your own words, what does it really mean?

“The structure of a system. A system model. The word refers to the branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of reality or being. It therefore refers to "what exists" in a system: all elements within all category hierarchies and the relationships between them.”
