  2. I think a digital footprint is something that goes on the internet that stays there or gets stuck there. This can effect your future opportunities because if you do something like the woman did in the picture we already saw, it can ruin any future jobs or careers you might want to go in to.

  3. a digital footprint is the word used to describe the trail, traces or "footprints" that people leave online. Yes, things you post can affect your future because when you want to get a job but you have something posted from years ago that is bad, that can be the cause of you not getting that opportunity.

  5. 1: Digital footprints are data traces that are left behind by users on digital services
    2: yes because even if you delete something that was unprofessional off the internet it never really goes off the internet, its left as a digital footprint, and your boss or people in power will see it and think its bad.

  6. 1. A digital footprint is the collection of all the traces a person leaves in electronic environments as you use or move through them. Things that are included in the a digital footprint is what people search and what people post online.

    2. Things that you post on the Internet will affect your future opportunities. They will affect your future opportunities because many times employers want to hire professional people. They do not want to hire somebody that parties all of the time or posts inappropriate things. Furthermore, if you are underage and you are doing something illegal, such as drinking, then people will see that and will lose respect for you. As a result, your opportunities in the future will be limited.
