Overview:

The WYSIWYG mentality can be dangerous when users fail to understand what underlies the visible presentation of electronic data. This chapter from Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion explores the premise that "What you see is not what the computer knows" -- focusing on information that can be retrieved despite redaction, uncovered via tracked changes and document metadata, altered through digital editing, and recovered after being deleted.
