Digital Footprint

Our digital footprint is what we leave behind us in the wake of our life online. Having a facebook, google account, and other social accounts are all parts of your digital footprint. There are a lot of ideas about what to put online and how to make sure it is private. In my personal opinion, i go old-school. If I don't want everybody to know what is going on in my life I don't put it on the web. Privacy online is near impossible to achieve. Just the term WORLD WIDE WEB should give you a clue that information online isn't private. Granted, your information may be private on google or facebook. But those companies still have access to see what you have been up to. And they work with law enforcement quite closely with the purpose of catching people doing illegal activity. Somewhere, somehow, somebody can look at anything you ever put online, and can trace it back to you. In a way, its as George Orwell put it in his book, "1984", big brother is watching you...
