My digital footprint

First off i googled myself typing my full name and to narrow it down i put my city Vancouver I wasn’t surprised i had found nothing because my social medias do not include my name. If i were to see things pop up when searching my name such as social medias like Instagram, snap chat and twitter it would be very important to keep my privacy safe with what i post and who i let view my posts. My Digital Footprint is also important for the near future for example if someone were to hire me they would do their research and only find things online about me that i would have made sure are not inappropriate and things that may have a positive impact on others that i have posted, 48% of employers use a search engine to research people before considering a spot for them. In my digital footprint, social medias i use do not share my location nor does it show my birth date an example of making sure i have full control over my identity online and making sure important things like my address private. My existing digital footprint may affect my family and friends if they see a post of mine of them they may want it taken down if its embarrassing or if they just don’t want it online. it could also affect future school applications because i could have one of my achievements up online that they may want to have me in for.
