Segment 4

Anything you post or send online can affect you in the future. Potential employers can see everything you've posted before a job interview and may use it as a reason not to hire you. Being respectful online is crucial for your digital reputation. Remember that what you say or type online is part of your digital footprint, visible to everyone. Hmm, so whatever I post or send can affect me in the future? Absolutely. Anything you post online is available for anyone to see. This might not seem like a big deal right now, but in the future when you are applying for jobs, possible employers can see everything you posted up until that interview. They could use this information as a reason not to hire you. I think this also ties into how being respectful online can affect your digital reputation. You are absolutely right. It is so important to be respectful to your peers, family, and others in the online community. Sometimes it is easy to be mean or disrespectful to others when you are not speaking to these people face-to-face. The thing to remember about that is like I mentioned earlier, what you say or type online is all part of your digital footprint, which is out there for everyone to see, not just who you are communicating with.
