Digital Footprint
My digital footprint can affect any opportunities in the future. when you want to apply for a job, trying to volunteer, or even extra curricular things such as, leadership clubs. If you want to apply to volunteer somewhere, they will look at your digital footprint. If you have any inappropriate things they wouldn’t consider having you volunteer. If you have propriate things they will consider you.
There are 7 billion people in the world, and that doesn’t mean no one will find about you. Anyone can track you! Giving information or talking to strangers is the most ridiculous thing. One’s digital footprint can lead to many things. Posting a picture will be saved on the internet for every, even if you don’t have the ability to see it.

Having a strong password or even, using the password that is given is good. Having a complex password and using different passwords for websites or social media, can keep your digital footprint safe. Setting security questions like where were you born or what is your dream job, can help you not get hacked. Before accepting cookies make sure the website is secured and safe. Look if its .com, org etc. It will give you a better hint if the website is safe or not. Making your social media account private is also a big one!
The definition of digital permanence “Digital permanence refers to the techniques used to anticipate and then meet the expected lifetime of data stored in digital media.” – not my words. Digital permanence is like a pen that is unable to go away. You can’t white out everything in your digital footprint. Neither can you pay people to remove your history. Your digital footprint is everything you leave behind as you use the internet and social media. Such as messages, calls, email records. comments etc..
