My Digital Footprint
How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.
Although I didn’t find anything about myself, as I always use different emails and usernames for everything, somebody’s digital footprint can greatly affect their future opportunities. This is because what somebody posts online shows who they are and the types of people they’re friends with. For example, if somebody posts a photo or video of themselves with something that could potentially be dangerous, their bosses could see them as somebody who isn’t qualified for the job. However, if their digital footprint somehow shows that they keep themselves busy, that can give them an advantage with getting a job or being accepted into a university.
Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
A way that you can keep your digital footprint safe is by staying away from websites that aren’t trustworthy, or any social media sites that seem skeptical. Another way of keeping your digital footprint safe is by always keeping personal information to yourself. That includes sharing it with your best friends or even your family in some cases. With today’s technology, it’s too easy to find information about anyone online.
What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
Although I couldn’t find myself online, it’s shockingly easy to find others online with just a simple google search. I would tell other students to be careful with what they put online. Even if it sounds like something that anybody would say, it couldn’t be truer. I don’t think people realize how easy it is for somebody to find out so much about them without realizing it. And although I don’t ever put my personal information online, I always have a feeling that somebody could find out anything about me.
