John did you get my text?? You need to answer me. Text me ASAP.

John answer me!!

Talk about online history and creating a positive digital footprint.
Anything you upload, email, or message can stay around forever online. Only do things that you would be okay with your teacher, parent, or future employer seeing. Every website you surf, picture you send, and things you say can be seen by your future employer. It can cost you a job!
