depending on what your internet activity shows.

5. POSITIVE AFFECTS
• If you post something on the internet that will reflect on you well, like
artwork, or a paper you wrote, your digital footprint will show positive
side of you.

• You can delete it, but it will never be gone completely.
• There will always be a trace of it left.

7. SO…..
• Everything you put on the internet stays on the internet.
• It can affect you in the long run.
• Be careful about how you interact on the internet.
• Think before you post something.
