Topic 1. Question 1. Introduction.

Hello my name is Gaffer. I am studying a degree in psychology. This is my Digital Citizenship assignment. I have accounts on the following social media sites Facebook, twitter, whatsapp and 9 gag. These sites are just a few of the sites that make up my digital footprint. A digital footprint is a persons history of what he or she has done with any digital product like internet, TV and gaming devices etc ... There are positive and negative digital footprints, positives being someone can find information about you from anywhere at anytime. Negatives can be there is a photo of you that should not be seen by others and ended up on the internet. Where I find my biggest footprint would be twitter and 9 gag. I visit these sites at least 3 to 5 times a day.
