Q.2.2 Digital footprints can be construed as trails that digital citizens leave online. Do you think that digital footprints could become a problem? Discuss.

Yes I do believe that digital footprint could become a problem because in the online world as this is an individual's online reputation. If something is posted or sent it is there forever, whether the person who has posted or sent it has, changed there perception of the content or not. The problem is that if it is something negative, others perception of this person will be based on that one negative action. This will mean that the people whom are online, who know or have seen the mistake will base the trust, reliability or perspective of an individual completely on their digital footprint. (Digital Citizenship Module Manual, 2016: 60)
