It Travelled

It left marks in the sand and trailed on. It travelled from Facebook to Twitter, TradeMe to Blogs. It trudged on even after my life-time. It would be alive forever.

My Digital Footprint.

My digital footprint is a symbol for internet safety. Like not sharing any personal details like you full name, address, number etc. We leant all about that this afternoon. Nicola told my group that your digital footprint begins before you were born and after you die. 

What is A Digital Footprint???

A footprint on the internet is a file that keeps track of everything you do online. Like if you signed up to Youtube it might come up with these series of questions...

*Name-

  Surname- 

*Online Name-             (the name of your account)

*Email-

 Address-        (possibly)

 Birthdate-

But you don't want to share too much. Too much information can be dangerous. Other people can track you down if you share you number and/or address.

Today I learnt lots of information including that a digital footprint actually exists,  and furthermore, it carries on after you die and before you were born. DO NOT share personal information and be careful on the internet.

Thanks for reading!
