1. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.

My digital footprint might affect my future opportunities in two ways. Firstly, if someone altered what I have said or done on the internet (photoshopping, editing HTML on their end, getting control of my account, etc.), it could affect my future opportunities. And secondly, if I say something inappropriate, that could affect my future.

2. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

To begin with, I can avoid saying things that are not appropriate as that can be used against you without editing. Next, I can keep my accounts as private as I can so that only people I know can see my information, and thus the anonymity is removed and there is a level of responsibility. Lastly, I can make sure that my passwords are strong and that no one knows it.

3. If you could go back in time, is there anything that you would do differently online? Think of what advice you would pass on to your younger self or other students.

The advice I would give is to not engage in controversial, often political topics in comment sections.
