Creating a Positive and Safe Digital Footprint
Internet Safety is important cause, when going to online it’s quite different far from the real world we live in, online is at times full of people who are anonymous, misleading and sometimes fake. They at times happen to spread some type of negativity that could affect someone in their personal stake, sometimes a survey pops up to any internet you access and maybe they ask about your personal lifestyle like; “What Transit Do you take at a usual basis?” or sometimes even much more personal aside from transit, but it is also much far more important to not share the ones that are way personal due to safety and privacy.
When going online and you decide to talk to strangers on either a gameplay or a chat stream, you started off with a normal chill conversation to start with talking about some type of gum flavor or candle scents then you start to move to a bit of personal information like what your actual name is and your nationality or even the country you are on, just then you were tempted to share more which leads you to overshare to your “new” online friend/friends about the specific place you are on and you decided to share your personal social media to a people/person you just met, this is quite unsafe due to the fact you were just talking about scents and flavors to what you actually are and where you are on a regular basis, this could lead to tracking down your location, typical oversharing personal information and online footprints.
Taking some type of steps to be safe can be able to realize the conversation and spotting that they want more of your personal information, a green flag for having a normal personal like conversation topic to talk about can be your zodiacs sign, what your personality traits are or what you like about a person and even your favorite food, cat/dog breed, or even games, when it comes to social media even if you’re on private you will need to double check before you post, cause what gets shown in the internet stays in the internet due to the fact that what you erase cannot be erased in the internet even if you delete your history there are still system inside the internet that could still access your deleted history, so you can stay safe by putting yourself private or have a strong password, never try to even look at online links that you know doesn’t feel right or suspicious links, keep update with your history and avoid some type of unsecure websites that could lead you to leak your address, email and personal information.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include, letting everyone who shares a comment at times be heard depending to what they post or comment, I at times would like to check the internet or link that I am in due to the fact that sometimes internet links can be quite suspicious and sketchy, having an online presence would sometimes be unnoticeable to others but that’s okay cause there are at times people who would notice and not notice, but the trick to maintaining your presence is to make sure your positive and you like to encourage positive comments to spread.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are, being able to notice sense. When it comes to building online relationship through online it is important to make sense in conversations and also by your safety, a lot of times when maintaining online relationships could also affect your real-world relationship like how you act to one person to another sometimes you might even combine to mix it up. to build a healthy one you can either not overshare your personal data and info due to the person behind screen is not who you know well in real life to, so keep a low profile and play it cool.
My strengths as a digital citizen include, separating or drawing a line when it comes to real life relationship and my online relationships, they contribute to my real-life basis because, I have some type of different personality type or relationship type and when it comes to real life I could easily blend in with my normal self and my relationship with my friends and when it comes to online my second relationship building kicks in and that’s where I can talk and or build relationship and blend in l with my thoughts and what my opinion is about.
