Societal Impacts — Question 3

It is important to think carefully of digital footprint because:

1. It gives us a digital persona by defining our online behavior.
2. The digital footprint is often used by universities before approving admissions to a student.
3. The digital footprint is also used by future employers, and law enforcement offices, to find people with positive and clean digital footprint.
4. The digital footprint should not provide personal information as it could be misinterpreted or misused for theft or identity.
