My digital Footprint • I can say that I do have a big digital footprint. Although my digital footprint is big, it is also positive. • I think that my digital footprint is big because my life basically revolves around a digital environment. • I know that I have a positive digital footprint because I am careful about what I say and do online. I am very private and I think that sometimes too much publicity online can be bad. • It is okay to be visible but having people know everything about you should be limited.
