"Footprints In The Digital Age" by Will Richardson is about how posting one thing on the internet good or bad can define our futures. He states that students need to post things on their blogs that will help them in their future to seem smart and very intelligent not dumb and ignorant. If you posted things that got an A+ and you keep getting those grades constantly then people will think you are intelligent and very wise and want you to come to their school or you get that certain job. If you fail and get average grades you will be looked down on by some and you will not get that scholarship or get that job you wanted because they have given it to someone who worked for it. The National School Boards Association took a test in 2007 and more than 80 percent of adolescent tens are using the internet. That means that all these kids are posting things on the internet that everyone can see. This affects me because I am always on the internet. I get on face book at least four times a day and post comments constantly which everyone can see. If I post something inappropriate or disturbing and someone happens to see it could take away a scholarship, job, sports etc. this affects to the world because everyone in the world uses computers and the internet.  More than 90 pecent probably have some type of social connection on the internet that everyone can easily access. People all around the world need to be safer on what they do on the internet.
