Digital Footprint

My digital foot print has grown since I started this course. I have used the web mostly to search for information about a topic, or for shopping. I have used different websites that I have not been required to create an account.  Also, I had the same email account since I was 16 years old.

It is very important to keep in mind what is put on the website. Including the number of times a credit card is used on the web.  It is also vital that a person social security number is only given on certain websites that are highly secure, such as federal and state websites.  Also, keeping track of the information you put on the website and social networking sites.  Picture a person put on a website can go viral. This can effect future positions and relationships.

  1. Hi Kat! I agree! It is very important to be careful of what information you put about yourself up on the web. A lot of people get themselves into trouble or don't get jobs because of the pictures they post or things they write on Facebook. If anyone finds our TWT blogs, they will likely be impressed at how much we know! :-)
