Digital Footprint

My Score is 8 because I do not have many items under my footprint that I feel would contribute to my career in the future. I don't really use social media to post selfies on Instagram or twitter so I do not think many pictures would pop up which would help me for a career. As for what i say to others through the internet, I do not think many will really affect any future career.
