After covering an emerging scandal involving the Mayor of Detroit the reporter said, "Never put anything in an e-mail or a text message that you wouldn't want to see in a headline someday."

Even Diane Sawyer stopped, as did her colleagues each wondering if they had ever written anything that could one day come back to haunt them or require an explanation.

Employers are monitoring employees e-mails at work and have even gone a step further and check blogs and messages on Facebook, MySpace and even YouTube to see learn more about the character of their employees and what is being said about their company. Human Resource Personnel are using these sites as well as Google and other means of Internet investigation to check out candidates for employment.

Technology is wonderful. It is fantastic that we now have access to people and information literally at our fingertips and instantaneously. On the downside, we don't have to wait until archaeologists unearth what is happening today. We are writing our own history everyday in the blogs, messages and information we exchange.

Just as the reporter's comment this morning seemed to be a wake up call for the stars and staff of Good Morning America, it is one we should all heed.
