Digital footprint

Mudrakola (2018), disputes that considering that our lives are intertwined with technology and internet, it starts to feel like the extension of oneself. One’s personal information can be used to generate income without your knowledge. The digital footprint creates an environment of ‘loss of privacy’. Your identity can be revealed and shared amongst strangers without your awareness. Digital footprints cannot be deleted or removed, as they are permanent. Candidates can be blackmailed based on their past searches.

Properties of digital citizen

The IIE (2019), claims that technology is the quickest developing and altering industries that influences in how we live, work and socialise. The Global Digital Citizen Foundation gathered support on digital citizenship, comprising the following factors:

• Digital Footprints – word used to describe the footprints, traces or trails that people leave online. Tools like Pipl, Digital Footprint Quiz, Internet Society: Your Digital Footprint Matters and Peekyou could help students to establish more about how the digital footprint is managed and how it works.
• Citing Sources – to give credit to another person’s work. It is a good ethical practise whereas credit is given where credit is due. BibMe, Citation Machine and EasyBib can support both students and lectures/teachers with the cumbrous process of creating a reference list citation.
• Cyberbullying – defined as ‘cyberharassment’, whereas it is a method of harassment or bullying using electronic means. It is mainly known as online bullying, where it has become universal, especially amongst teenagers.
• Plagiarism – it is described as “stealing” and “wrongful appropriation” of someone else’s work, language, ideas, expressions or thoughts, and exemplifying them as your own original work. Plagiarism is reflected as academic dishonesty. TurnItIn, Safe Assign, DOC Cop and Plag Tracker are tools that can be used to deter plagiarism.
• Personal Responsibility – individual accountability that people instigate their own actions. It is about how one control themselves in moral and ethical situations. It includes carrying for your mind, body and spirit.

Digital citizen enhances social capital

The IIE (2019), claims that social capital is the compendium value of various social networks and feeling that ascend from networks to work together and do things for each other. The core principle for social capital is that social networks creates and retains value.

The IIE (2019), says that digital citizen builds the social capital that has increased and continues to escalate our communication and social skills. As a result, we are growing our digital literacy, whereas we are increasing our psychological comfort, as we feel respected and connected through engaging with people. The value benefited from online alliance would impact the digital citizenship on people’s ability to be responsible and behave appropriately with regard to the usage of technology.

Listening

The music and sound effects of the video flows along with the players’ movement with the ball on feet, players tackling, and goalkeepers attempting a save to prevent the ball from going past the goalpost.

The sound effects were able to create the surprising energy whereas the image of the video was flowed along.

Communication

The video used was able to communicate with the audience in various ways, as the youth will take is as motivation, the supporters would develop great loyalty for the club they stand for, entrepreneurs would take it as a ‘time-off’ work, etc.

The form of the video accommodated anyone who would be interested in watching it. From people who are experiencing visual issues, to those who are not.

The ‘story’ presented had a blasting exposition whereas it sparked the craving to be interested to watch the video. The sound effects were able to form a great deal of a rising action, whereas as soon as it got to the climax, everything was a wonder.

The end of the video created an environment whereas the viewer will crave and seek for more content to watch.

Not every candidate is as fortunate as the other, as there is a digital imbalance in my area, (WhatIs 2014).

There people who have access to technological devices, and those who do not; those candidates who are unfortunate to access digital devices, lack the capability to the usage of modern information technology, (WhatIs 2014).

The digital divide is highly emphasised in cities and rural areas, between the uneducated and the educated, and between less and more industrialised areas. The technology includes modern television, telephones and cell phones (smart phones), the internet, and personal computers, (WhatIs 2014).

There are a couple of homes who are more advance technologically, and there are one’s in which are underdeveloped. Fortunate candidates make use of Wi-Fi services with a purpose, whereas the disadvantaged are not as well-armed to equip one. The old school make use of hardcopy newspapers, as the new generation have adapted to technological changes, (WhatIs 2014).

The adaption to the new digital space would improve the democracy, literacy, economic growth, economic equality, and social mobility, (WhatIs 2014).

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
