TT #5 Your digital footprint OR digital identity

My digital Identity is similar to who I am offline. I don't want to seem to different on and offline because let's face it that confuses most people and in turn gives people a altered perception of who you are.  I use social media for my personal enjoyment and mostly to see what my friends and people I want to know about are up to.  In no particular order I use facebook, twitter, instagram and snapchat.  I find most of these to have different but important uses in my life, the life of my peers, teachers and students. It allows us to connect and that is important.

I find twitter to be the most important for all these as a whole. You can easily get connected to people, teams, associations, etc. you want and their websites, blogs, videos, pictures you name it. I also really enjoy using snapchat. It is so cool how I can talk face to face with a friend that could be hours away. The picture and video quality is also very good. Facebook is a little older and I find I use it less but find it useful for making and organizing events.  To finish instagram is just fun to check out some cool and interesting photos.

I also find my digital footprint to be made by the other apps I use and devices I own. I am a sports fanatic. I enjoy playing and watching almost anything. I also like to know what is going news wise, scores and to watch highlights. I use a variety of different apps to help me do so including; tsn, the score, nhl, mlb and more. I like how most sites now have apps so they are easily accessed from your personal device. Things like google drive, mobile banking, maps and yellow pages are extremely helpful.  As for devices I own and use on a day to day bases that I consider part of identity or footprint are: my iphone, macbook pro, ipad, apple tv (notice the apple theme) and Playstation 4. I enjoy all these devices and find them to be extremely important in my daily life. They all have different functions and provide me with an easier student lifestyle.
