How aware are you of your digital footprint?

Paris Brown (17) was the UK's first youth police and crime commissioner and last week tweets dating back three years made her appear racist, homophobic and supportive of the drug culture.  

As Paris has since recognised that even though teenagers have been brought up with digital media all around them and it is second nature to share instant snippets of their lives with their immediate peer network, it is rather difficult to remember that all your online activity is stored somewhere and can be found very easily. Context is often lost, but the words are not.

However, what we often forget is that your digital footprint is made up of what you say and what others say about you. 

This blog is not only part of Paris’ Digital Footprint but also mine.
