the question we were asked for our first digital footprint assignment was “how might your digital footprint affect your personal brand and future (school and work) opportunities?”
my answer to that question is that your digital footprint can highly effect what opportunities are offered to you. if you are unaware of your digital footprint you can upload things onto the internet that you don’t want stuck to your name. it is very important to be aware of your digital footprint and the toll that it has over your life, because you can post or say things that you will later regret, but will never be able to take down because they are a part of the internet. every time you go to an interview or to apply to a school, they will look up your name, and check to see and what you have done. if you are aware of your footprint and are careful on what you post, you will have a ‘clean’ reputation, but if you are not aware, who knows what they will find. having a bad footprint can affect your daily life too. any family member or colleague can easily look up your name, and find out what you’ve done.
you should always be aware of your digital footprint, because it can be a blessing, or a curse.
