Just like most people nowadays, I use the internet academically and personally on a daily basis. Although nothing negative has occurred to me while browsing and with my social media accounts, however, I always keep in mind the risks of keeping my digital identity safe. My first rule is that I draw a very firm line between my personal use of the internet and my academic use. For educational purposes, I always use my institution account and avoid mixing it with my personal accounts. For example, I have two different youtube accounts which serve different purposes. Another thing that I am always aware of is how my digital profile may affect my professional life in the future. I am always careful when publishing to my social media accounts, and whenever possible I have a closed profile. Although I have to admit I need to be more careful about certain aspects such as browsing using on public wifi or allowing websites to track me and take hold of my data.
