A footprint in the Digital world 🌍

          My grandmother would tell me stories, when I was young. When she went on telling it, I would imagine me as a character. 
   
           The story was about the man goes with his sister into the woods, shining shiny white stones along the way, asking for help if she goes out into the woods. He returns home safely with the help of those stones at night. When he goes into the woods, he puts bread crumbs without getting stones, and he gets into trouble from animals.
          In the physical world where our daily schedule is roughly the same, accurate information about what we're doing is important. It is good, both literally and figuratively, for us to set our footsteps.
But the digital world is not so. There we go from one thing to another. One thing is trending today, another is tomorrow, another is another. Everyone here is free to express their opinions on all things.
          It is common for our information to remain there once it belongs to the internet. Once Twitter's chief, Parag Agarwal, tweeted earlier in the day that the tweets are now up for grabs. 
          A post on Facebook, even if we delete it, is unlikely to remain in someone else's screenshot. It can be very difficult for us to control who can use the information we once added. When a shared message of humor reaches out to someone else, it is not impossible to hurt their feelings. Similarly, the information we share on various platforms cannot be overlooked by cyber criminals.
          Many parents have the habit of inserting pictures into the internet of their own, not just their details but also, the details of their little ones. Combining the terms 'share' and 'parenting', this is known as 'sharing'. Parents need to worry about this practice as it will add children's digital footprint to the Internet from their teens.
          It is also a good idea not to share our details and impressions on social media sites more than necessary. Just a few seconds before posting and asking ourselves if we can actually post it, you can avoid many problems!
          Due to Covid-19, many schools and  colleges, have started online classes threatening the life of students.

          Digital world has been spoiled the youngsters in one or the other way,  until then we are responsible for our privacy.
