The digital footprint does not worry me as much as I believe it worries others. What this new exposure to social media and to internet tracking itself has made us basically minor celebrities. With that in mind you can learn a lot from the way current celebrities and powerful people in business have carried out their own lives. People who have had their situations ruined by social media or the internet were, for the most part, doing things that if they were found doing offline would get them in trouble too. The thing people have to realize is that the internet can only harm you to a certain extent but the way it harms you is only by bringing to light the actions you've already committed. If you take a look at the way certain scandals through social media and internet break down, anything that you have the ability to whole heartedly apologize for and is for the most part understandable to the public will not affect you that greatly. You will go through a small period of judgement and that is it. Then there are the Weiner's of the world, no pun intended, that do things beyond the scope of apology and they are punished. If you can learn anything from social media its content control. You can control what you do on facebook through your privacy settings and you can control what you do in your life through your own actions. If you really want to stay off the radar then disconnect from technology. Besides that the fear of the internet is pretty much overhyped.
