Welcome!

My name is Marianne Cole and I am a junior at A.S.K. taking M&M Technology. I took this class because I am technology deficient and I feel like I need to learn how to be more comfortable with it before I go to university. This semester I want to learn how to use different programs and how to use a MAC successfully and safely. My digital footprint score was 6939.
This score is a depiction of my online footprint. This number was formulated because I rarely post photos off a digital camera online, I rarely watch TV, I never buy anything offline and I seldom use Facebook. Though, the three things that I use very often are Twitter, Whatsapp, and Instagram. I don’t spend thousands of my hours online but I do use the Internet when I need it. Cutting back on my digital footprint will require a few steps. To cut back on my digital footprint I think I could stop tweeting as much, post a picture on Instagram every two weeks instead of every week and reduce the amount of Snapchats I send. The less I use the Internet and download or upload things the less my digital footprint will be. The only thing I can’t reduce is the amount I use Whatsapp. It is a very important app that allows me to text anyone I for school information or family business.

All in all, technology is important and should be successfully and safely integrate in everyones lives without providing harm.
