My Digital Footprint
Creating A Positive Digital Footprint
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, but I don’t post online. At all. The only thing I do is lurk. What effects does being a ghost have? In terms of adjusting my actions, I don’t have or want to. There’s nothing to gain.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include staying out of everyone else’s business and not taking anything said on the internet personally or seriously. This allows me to keep a cleaner mind as I’m not concerned about internet affairs and can focus on more important, personal problems.
I don’t spend any time making or maintaining any pseudo-social interactions (online friendships), so I can’t answer the question of how I maintain them. This is because I deem online relationships a waste of time; the absence of face-to-face interactions make most of them shallow and doomed to fail.
My model town
Information Fluency
Name of the town: Nova Prospekt
Company Name: Joaquin Phoenix’s Eggs and Toast Ltd.
Resources available: Eggs, Toast
Elements of the town: High in violent crime, bad air pollution, natural chimpanzee habitat, ‘River Gaming’, eggplants and wheat
Population: 234
Brief history: The local gang decided that it would be a great opportunity to take a break from international sock trafficking and to instead focus on exploiting the impoverished to create eggs and toast. They settled down in what would be present day Chicago.
Media Fluency
A. How was the ease of access in building the town, despite this being a very super basic software?

B. Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?
-What planning stage?
C. What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” town
-Couldn’t find any 😎
D. Is there other software online that could have done the job better?
-Literally anything else would be better. Pick and choose.
About Me
My Bio
My name is Kuba, and this is a blog I am forced to write. I want to finish this as soon as possible so I’m going to put in a bunch of filler. Some things that I need you to learn about me is that I hate this. Some words that describe me are but not limited to:
-Apathetic
-Fat
One of my stretches is finding any reason to do this assignment and/or trying to come up with filler that I can put in here.
My Favorite Website
There is no ‘Link’ block, so a paragraph will suffice. My favorite website is
https://www1.bmo.com/
Because every time I log onto it it reminds me how broke I am after preordering HITMAN III.

My Favorite Quote
“There are approximately 1,010,300 words in the English Language, but I could never string enough words together to properly express how much I want to hit you with a chair” -Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson
I especially love this quote because this immediately races across my mind whenever I see that one kid named Joseph. I hated him.
