How might your digital footprint affect your future oppurtunities?

It might affect your job and school life by making a bad impression on yourself. Whatever it is will mark your reputation. When you apply for a job or to a college, they could easily find stuff about you online so its better to clean your digital footprint up.

Describe at least 3 strategies that you use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe

1. I don’t share my password
2. I keep my profile private on Instagram and Tiktok and only follow people I trust
3. I only post appropriate stuff and don’t overshare my life

How could social media be used in a positive manner

There are 3 ways social media can be used positively for me. One, to connect with my friends on a platform whether its snapping on snapchat or liking posts on Instagram. Two, entertainment, TikTok is a good app to cure your boredom and when you want to pass the time. Lastly, I think it is also a good thing to make online friends because there are so many people online who might share the same interests as you.

What red flags or warnings would indicate that someone you are talking to online may in fact be unsafe

• when the person you’re talking to is asking for personal information (address, school, password)
• when the person is significantly older than you
• when the person is harassing you or bullying you online

What are some ways you can limit the amount of online content that you are constantly consuming

In my experience, when I feel like I’ve had enough screen time, I turn off my phone and try to do something else because taking breaks from the screen is important. Sometimes, when I have to get things done, I just have to delete TikTok because its always a big distraction for me.
