How My Digital Footprint Will Affect My Future

In response to Kallas' Blog and the video about Abbas story a lot of things stand out about his views. The way that people present themselves online is definitely an issue today. The pictures and posts on some peoples profiles are going to affect them in the long run. That is what Abba meant by "I feel like there's nothing there that brings me down." He has nothing online that can effect him in the long run.

I believe that people should not solely be judged on what they post online. Some people may post things that are offensive to other people, but that is their own choice. They will be able to learn from those mistakes of what they do or post. For example, I know a girl who posts pictures almost every day of her smoking or drinking something. But just because I tell her that it will effect her when she is trying to get a job in the future doesn't mean that she will listen. I have to let it go and let her learn on her own and make mistakes.




Presenting an image online can be a difficult task if you haven't already. Deleting all the profane posts is just the beginning. You have to make sure that you never post anything that may show even a little bit of profanity. Instead of putting people down, bring them up. Don't post anything that you wouldn't like being posted about yourself. Be smart.
