Social Networking and Digital Footprint

Social networking is websites that you can communicate with other people through, such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. It’s an easier way to interact and get in touch with people you are friends with, family, or people you have not seen in a long time.  Digital footprint is a digital footprint is a collection of activities and behaviors recorded when an entity, such as a person, interacts in a digital environment. It may include the recording of activities such as system login and logouts, visits to a web-page, accessed or created files, or emails and chat messages. Social networking affects my digital footprint because once you post something such as a status or picture it’s on the internet forever and you never know who will see it, because pretty much anybody can have the opportunity too.
