1)How might your digital learning affect your future opportunities?
Your digital footprint affects your future opportunities in many ways. One example is: When you are looking for a job or have a job interview the people that are hiring you will look you up on the internet and will see what comes up. They will be checking if what comes up is good or if its bad. Another example is what you have or say on the internet or media sites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and many more. Whatever you post, say or do on the internet stays there forever, it doesn’t matter if you delete it it will always be there. That’s one of the reasons why it’s called a Digital Footprint, the impact you make will always be there.
2) Describe 3 strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.
One way to keep your digital footprint safe is to have your account on private, meaning people would have to request to follow you and see what you post. It’s also better because then you can control who sees your feed and you would want to only allow people you know. Another way to keep it safe is to have private conversations in person. When you do it through text or apps, the conversation can be captured/screenshot and be sent to other people. A third way his to not take pictures of other people when they don’t feel comfortable or to not take revealing photos of yourself, people can also screenshot those and might even use them against you.
3) If you could go back in time is there anything you would do differently online? What type of advice would you pass down to your younger self?
I personally would go back in time to change things I did online. There are a few things I wish I didn’t do or say. Some of those things cost me good friendships. I would tell my younger self not to get caught up with things people said or did on the internet and to just be myself. Don’t try to judge yourself based on what you see or what kind of girls are said to be the prettiest. Learn to love yourself and be happy with what you have.
