1.)

If my digital footprint were negative, for example; if I posted something very disrespectful and inappropriate about someone else online my future employers could see that and decide that they don’t want me working for them or my future university or college could see it and not accept me into the school. Also, if I were to post something revealing about myself, something illegal or very frowned upon or inappropriate, it can easily change the mind of my future employers, and/or university.

2.)

To keep my digital footprint safe and positive, I can think carefully and be very thoughtful about what I post online or what I decide to make an account for. I can make sure the private is on for accounts on social media that I make, for example: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I can keep my login info under “lock & key” with a difficult password so that no one can get my information.

I learned that a lot of the time it is easier to say something digitally to someone, mean or whatever else, because you don’t have to deal with the repercussions of your actions in person. This is entirely wrong. If it is public, on a post somewhere on social media, then everyone can see it and people share it with others on the internet or by word of mouth. If it is a private conversation, the person you were talking to could still tell or show other people and word can spread the same way. On top of that, you could end up hurting someone’s feelings really badly. If I had to teach someone this lesson or tell them about it, I’d probably tell them a story of something that happened to either myself or an anonymous story about someone else. Just because you don’t think that there are consequences doesn’t mean there aren’t any.
