BLOG Write a post about your online presence. Questions to ponder:
— How large an online footprint do you have? Do you have a personal website?— Which social media sites do you use? What have you put on them? What have you linked to?
— What information about you could a visitor glean about you, even indirectly, by visiting your pages on social media?
— What private information have you voluntarily given out, such as your phone number and e-mail address? To what sites and why?
— Consider the sorts of questions posed by The Atlantic article: Does social media make people lonely? Depressed? Isolated?
^MY PROFESSORS QUESTIONS^
The fourth question caught my eye because I share my email address pretty willingly. I usually do this to get discounts on products. This is why I have multiple email addresses. I have one for school, one for job applications, and one that has everything else. The majority of my inbox for my third email is a cluster of discounts and spam. I wish there was a way to have a company erase your information if you felt so inclined.
The second question is also something I would like to address in this week's blog post. I have Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook accounts. I rarely use Facebook, the photos on my Facebook are from when I was 13yrs old I think. My Instagram account is what I keep the most updated in my opinion. This being said, I don't use it that much. Most of my Instagram is photos I've taken that I'm proud of, or a photo that represents a memory I've had with people in my life.
