Did you know: that filling out a form, sending an email to a friend, posting a photo, and pretty much everything one does online – even the simple act of visiting a website or using a search engine – leaves a trail. This trail, called a digital footprint, is made of bits and pieces of information on one’s computer and on other computers and servers around the world, which allow other people to learn about you.
Vocabulary:
Lighthouse: Search engines and social network sites can reveal a lot about people. It’s easy to discover information about people using the Internet.
