Write about how someone's digital footprint has a positive impact on their future opportunities. It can be fiction or nonfiction but must include a situation where someone's posts or online activity help them take advantage of a future opportunity.

James was out late, he was having fun with friends, posting a picture of him and his friends underage drinking. He had no idea how to photo could effect him later. Weeks later he applies for a job, he fills out his application and brings it into the shop he was wanting to work at. The manager informed James that his application would be looked over and they would also look into his name to make sure he was serious and fit for the job. James didn't give a second thought about it and wen't on with his week, awaiting a call back.

A week later James receives an email back from the shop.

"Hello James, as regarding your application we will not be accepting. After looking further into your name it has become clear that you are not fit for the job. Thank you for applying.

Sincerely,

Tires and Gears

Blue Lake Ave.

James was torn up, he wanted this job, it was a new step in his life and he did his best on his application. He tried to find out what he had did wrong. Then he remembered what he posted. A simple picture of an underage teen drinking, this cost him a job and put him in legal trouble. James started to do some research and realized that a lot of different posts and situations he put himself in online could get him in trouble. A post connected to him name, a tweet, picture, or even account in general, cost him a job, and could do the same to other people. If you post it, it is permanent, there is always a way to find what you posted again. These posts are available for the public, always. Are carbon footprints follow us, just as our legal footprints, and even our physical footprints. Be careful what you post online, for it could cost you future opportunities.
