While you spend nearly 50 weeks trying to put the inconvenience, mental anguish and emotional upheaval out of your mind, for around two weeks every April Virginia’s local and state governments (and the federal government) like ...
Who owns the digital version of you? We have become so accustomed to our digital world of social media, emails, instant messages, and photos of cats that we seldom consider who owns all that information.
