DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS

 According to  Vangie Beal "On the Internet a digital footprint is the word used to describe the trail, traces or "footprints" that people leave online. This is information transmitted online, such as forum registration, e-mails and attachments, uploading videos or digital images and any other form of transmission of information — all of which leaves traces of personal information about yourself available to others online".

It is very important as a digital citizen to be very cautious of your doings or activities online as whatever you post stays there forever and might complicate your life at a later stage. One might miss out on a great job opportunity due to the things you have once posted online. Following your digital footprint it is very important and so is being clean and wise when coming to what you post or say online.
