Watch Out , You Have A Footprint

İshak KiLiÇ

Don ’ t step on there ! Only digital footprint will be allowed . Everyone has parents who don ’ t let them step in the house after cleaning it . Maybe they are a little bit right about this . They might clean it up if they want , but it will be tiring to clean a spot that they have cleaned before . When it comes to the technology part , how do things work in the digital world ? Who has digital footprints , does our digital foot have a size ? Is there anyone who can erase digital footprints , are they necessary , what are they for ? We had better look at the answers to these questions . First of all , everyone who uses the internet leaves digital footprints all the time . unfortunately , only the masters of the business are equipped enough to erase those footprints . I have to say that , we don ’ t have a size on our digital foot . Besides , we won ’ t be able to buy shoes on our digital feet . If there are no digital shoes , it means there are no footprints to clean . So at least in the digital world , we ’ ll be able to walk freely without parents telling us not to step on the ground . In addition to that , how free is the most free ? Of course it is not enough to do everything . As there are rules in real life , the same goes for the digital world as well . Sanctions will be applied when violated . That ’ s why it is important to know your boundaries even if you want to show up in a digitalized world .
