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.
