The host of CBC Radio's "Spark" explores the very real impact of the virtual information we generate about ourselves--on our own lives, our communities, and our government. We generate enormous amounts of online data about our habits: where we go, what we do, and how we feel. Some of that is stuff we choose to report; some of it is the offhand data trails we leave behind.

Nora Young's "The Virtual Self" looks at the debates and challenges around virtual data-sharing--from Facebook status updates to Google Navigator--and its potential for building more responsive communities and governments.
