Digital+Footprints

A **digital footprint** is the data trail left by activity in a digital environment such as email and social networks on the Internet but also may include Mobile telephone and other digital devices and sensors. Digital footprints are invisible electronic representations of memories and opinions, and provide data on physical and online activities. One of the first references to a digital footprint was by Nicholas Negroponte in 1996. These three video clips provide an introduction to Digital Footprints.
