  THINK BEFORE YOUPOST • To post or not to post, that is the question. Think before you post. DO NOT post something that you would not want your grandmother to read. Everything that an individual posts no matter how old or young you are stays online. • The places you visit and things you say, leave a trail on the internet that never goes away. • All of this digital communication is called your “digital footprint”.
