For your digital footprint to be searched means that people can look you you up online and find out anything you have done online. Your digital footprint is made up of your personal information, your texts, pictures, sites you have visited, things that you have said, and things that other people have said about you. This information can be collected off of your TV, laptop, phone, and any other devices that are used in every day life. All this information can be found out about a person only using three pieces of information: someone's ZIP code, birthday, and gender.

- College admissions and employers do look at your online profile before deciding whether to choose you. They may not choose you because they see something online about you that they don't like. For example, in 2009, 45% of all hiring managers used search engines to research the digital footprint of potential applicants.
- Another interesting statistic is that 63% of hiring managers decided not to hire an applicant because they found something questionable about that person on a social networking site.
-  87% of Americans can be identified with just their ZIP code, birthday and gender.
- Most people don't know what a digital footprint is. Very few people search themselves and keep track of what is visible about them.

- Learn from others.
- Always remember to treat others how you want to be treated and that the internet is PERMANENT.
