My Digital Footprint

One of our blog challenges is to post about our digital footprint.  When I read this I had no idea what it meant, like our footprints aren't digital?!  But now I know it's actually nothing to do with our feet; it's to do with the tracks we leave behind about ourselves in digital form.

My digital footprint began before I was even born after my sonogram after 5 months when it was e-mailed to family and friends or printed for the doctors to use.  This was then followed by pictures or text messages sent when I was born.  My digital footprint has been updated throughout my life.  As a child when I filled out the questions, eg. name, to make my own penguin on Club Penguin it was added to my digital footprint.  Today I am still updating my digital footprint..

• Facebook -  I create a profile, share photos, make posts etc.
• Instagram -  I post photos of me for others to see.
• Twitter -  I tweet my thoughts.
• Snapchat - I send pictures of myself to others.
• Kik - I chat to my friends in groups.
• Google - I research information for school.
• Amazon - I buy things for my own use.

Even in the future my digital footprint will constantly be added to and this will go on until I die and even afterwards.
