Question

【题目】Every time you go online you leave a digital (电子的) footprint. This is just like a real footprint. It tells where you have been, how long you stayed on line and what you have been doing there. It’s easy to get the information and show your digital footprint every time when you send an email, messages and photos. You shouldn’t worry about it too much but it is better to be careful about your digital footprint when you are online. There are five tips for taking care of your digital footprint.

Don’t forget to close the pages with your information when you leave a website, especially if you are using a shared computer.

Don’t tell anyone your password and don’t write them down in a place that everybody can see. Make them more difficult by using both letters and numbers.

Remember your favourite websites by looking over the history and the bookmark on your computer or your mobile phone. This is a way that your digital footprint can work in your favour, remember to clear your history from time to time.

If you want to post some words on line, you don’t have to use your own name. You can use a nickname instead. You can also use a picture instead of a real photo.

Protect your personal information online. Be careful about who you share your own information with and always think twice before sharing email, home address, school or phone number with someone.

All kinds of people are interested in your digital footprint. It’s now quite common for people to look over some personal information online before they offer someone a job. There are cases of people having missed out on jobs and places because their digital footprint didn’t make them look good.
