Impact of Online

What are kids doing on line?
Digital Footprint
Digital Footprint???
Simply put, a digital footprint is the amount of
content, whether it be words, photographs,
audio, or video, that is traceable back to a given
individual.
Parts of your digital footprint include photographs
uploaded to sites like flickr, blog posts attributed to
you on Blogger, video files you uploaded to
YouTube, posts you wrote on your friends' Facebook
Walls, and posts to your Facebook wall by your
friends. Content like this makes up your digital
footprint.
• A recent survey from AVG, an online security
company, found that 81% of kids under the age of
2 have some kind of “digital footprint” online,
usually in the form of e-mail accounts, social
networking pages and photos posted on the Web.
