Having a big and memorable impact in the digital relm could either help or hurt your future opportunities.

On the other hand doing some that was considered good may help your future opportunities as that may give you an advantage over other people.

  1. Try to take into consideration how other people will react to what your posting online.
  2. Try to avoid posting anything your unsure about so that you dont post something offensive.
