Growing up we've all heard the phrase, "Everything you put on the internet is permanent." A digital footprint is your online identity. Knowlege is power, and most people would be stunned to see what strangers can find out about you. Especailly with some social media platforms becoming more "casual", users feel more comfortable posting and commenting wildly innapropriate things. Your digital footprint builds an online reputation, and it's important to be aware of it because anything posted online is permanent.

After 90 years of residing there, the British forced out the Acadians out by boat, and eventually arrived in South Louisiana where they became known as Cajuns.
