Week 4, activity 2
On the internet we had to Google ourselves. What interested me the most is that the third website was a page about a picture I drew at the Garden Road School when I was in first grade. I had said that it was a picture of a rock in a storm at sea but it looked more like a blue piece of paper with a gray dot in the bottom left corner. When I looked at other images I did not find a picture of me.
I tried to search myself on Google, but Nothing came up. What I did find was a picture of Leonardo Dicaprio, No idea why his pitcture came up. I also found some cooking utensils and a bunch of other people i never met before. I Googled my sister and some of her drawings came up. I think she had a digital footprint because she uses social media. I never use any social medias. I hope at the end of the year I will have a digital footprint.
This week, I did the second activity on Mr. Bogush’s website where I googled myself. When I typed in my name, I got some mixed results.
I’ve searched myself before because I was curious, and each time I did different things came up. When I did it this time, one thing that I saw that I was happy about was the publicity for the book that I wrote. Before, there wasn’t much of a digital footprint, but now I see websites linking me to the book I wrote and I’m proud. Different websites have data about it, which I’m surprised about. I only thought it was on one.
Other than all of the posts about a woman with my first name in a town with my name in it, there were a few other things sprinkled in there. I saw a few presentations and a link to my Youtube Channel, which I don’t really have any feelings about. I don’t think they make a bad mark in my digital footprint, and all of the things I was embarrassed about I tried my best to make not public.
In conclusion, when I searched myself I did not find anything I regretted.I am very happy about that.
