Digital Footprint Assignment

My digital footprint can affect my future in huge ways. A good respectful digital footprint could help me land a good job or career. It would boost my reputation and credibility opening many paths in my life. However, a bad or irresponsible digital footprint could do the complete opposite. I would lose job offers and opportunities and ruin my credibility. In this day and age my digital footprint is one of my most important investments for the future and I most make sure to continue to keep my digital footprint appropriate and safe.

Three strategies I can use to keep my digital footprint appropriate and safe:

  • T.H.I.N.K. before I post anything one the internet.Image result for t.h.i.n.k. poster
  • Don’t post inappropriate, rude, or rash things that could affect my digital footprint or people’s opinions about me.
  • Don’t post personal information on the internet. (E.G. Last Name, address, phone number, schedule, etc)

If I could go back in time I would change how often I am online. I use the internet responsibly but the internet isn’t a substitution for being with people. I would tell myself to be on the internet less and be around real people more than I did. Human contact is really important and sometimes we forget this. On the plus side being around people in real life doesn’t leave a digital footprint and you can be have real experiences. being online is great but isn’t always of the utmost importance.
