What is a digital footprint?
A digital footprint is a trail of data you create while using the Internet when using different social media platforms (e.g Instagram, Twitter, FaceBook ect.) . It includes the websites you visit, emails you send, and information you submit to online services. The more information you post about yourself starts to increase your online data and leaves a trail on the internet. Once you delete it maybe gone on your social media app but it leaves a trail on the internet forever and ever.
Why is it so important to have a good digital footprint?
A digital footprint is your online identity and individuality and is what makes you unique. It is builds the online reputation, or impression depending on the things you do online. When posting things we need to check twice whether it is a good thing to post and won’t show to much of our personal life or whether it will build a bad reputation and can cause an impact in our future lives when we need to qualify for our jobs. It’s like leaving a legacy where ever you go, you can post good and be good in everyday life to have a good legacy or do the opposite and leave a bad legacy.
