In Will Richardson's article, "Footprints in the Digital Age", he talked about how networking is the new literacy and how students are trackible through the internet.  He mainly talked about the positives of being so transparent.  For example, he talked about how many people find people who share the same passions or interests and can learn and communicate we eachother.  I think that this also matters in education.  For example, because more and more people use the internet, you can possibly find someone who is studying the same thing as your math class is, you could could work with that person and possible learn from him or her.  A digital footprint definately matters to me.  It matters to me because I am getting older which takes place as time gos by, just like technology will get better and most likely become an even bigger part of our lives.  So in that case, a positive digital footprint is what I am hoping for.  I find this ironic because when this is posted, it will be another digital footprint of mine.  This also matters to the world as a whole because there are over 6 billion people on Earth, and theres a good chance that there are many people who can relate, share, and think the way you or I do.  Imagine if everyone found someone that shared the same likes, interests, and passions and they could learn from eachother, imagine how much smarter the world would be.
