3. Digital Footprint

4. Digital Footprint???
Simply put, a digital footprint is the amount of
content, whether it be words, photographs,
audio, or video, that is traceable back to a given
individual.
Parts of your digital footprint include photographs
uploaded to sites like flickr, blog posts attributed to
you on Blogger, video files you uploaded to YouTube,
posts you wrote on your friends' Facebook Walls, and
posts to your Facebook wall by your friends. Content
like this makes up your digital footprint.

5. • A recent survey from AVG, an online security
company, found that 81% of kids under the age of
2 have some kind of “digital footprint” online,
usually in the form of e-mail accounts, social
networking pages and photos posted on the Web.
