About Digital Tattoos

http://aboutmyrecovery.com/16-myths-versus-reality-on-internet-safety-of-our-kids/

What is digital tattoo and digital footprint? This is what we discussed in class on Thursday.  We discussed about tattoos on our body. I myself do not have any and is not planning to have one. I really do not like tattoos. Yes, they are nice depends why you want it and the meaning. Just remember a tattoo is permanent. You hear now a day is how jobs do not want you showing your tattoos because it is unprofessional. The tattoos should not matter what kind of person you are. You should not judge people on their tattoos.
Also about what you write and post your facebook, twitter, snap chat etc.  I already knew about the whole once you post it is always out there forever. Nothing is ever gone and deleted. This is why young students and adults need to think before they post a picture or a post about them or someone else. Now a days when someone reads something that someone posted all they have to do it screen shot it and pass it on to everyone then that image or post is everywhere.  Once you record that video and upload it, it will get re posted so many times and fast once it is on the internet. The teacher discussed how you could search any name and see how much information comes up. I already done that the website I used was spoko. I had searched my dad’s name and showed him. My parents are not tech people. So once, I showed my dad about him online of the house address, how much, relative’s names. Etc. his face was shocked. Even my mom was like shocked. They could not believe all that was online just by typing there name in. I searched my name but nothing comes up. We got into partners and we had to search a person. We found so much info on this woman, her age, phone number, degrees, relatives, house, employment history , and  even family photos. It is scary with so much identity theft going on and stalkers.  I was not surprised because with technology now a day’s everyone’s info is out there and it is easy to get.  It made me think twice about what I post on fb about something or someone on facebook because future jobs can see it or if you’re trying to get a scholarship.

  1. The name of the game is awareness. We want students to be aware and think ahead. I'm happy to hear the conversation made you think as well!
