Digital Footprints
People used to think that on the internet no one
knew who you were.
We read the internet and were annonymous
But today, we leave a trail behind us
Electronic payments, registrations etc,

In 2008 we now
deliberately
leave our digital
footprints in the
sand. We leave
our mark to say
“I was here”

For teenagers raised on reality TV,
it seems perfectly natural and even
necessary to disclose opinions,
and information, where they went
last night and what they looked like
when they got up this morning.

Pew Internet Project,
says two thirds of
online teens are
“content creators”
which means they
use videos, photos,
blogs and message
boards to divulge
personal information
about their lives.
