You read the text, looked at the sites, and watched the video. Now what do you do? Well, hopefully by now you understand what your digital footprints may mean for you and your future. Social media has us so consumed that sometimes we forget all the good the internet brings us. Whether it is a prosperous job outlook, information at our finger tips or just a good comic relief, you have to decide what to do next. There is so much more than facebook, snap chat, and instagram out there. A computer can be our eyes to the world. It's like picking up a good book, you never know what you may find. So, I think it's time to think outside the box and discover the endless possibilities of what lies out there. Don't forget keep it honest, keep it positive and don't forget... It's permanent!
