Personally i think digital footprints could become an issue and it creates issues for people already. Why do i say this? Your digital footprint may even costs you your dream job. I personally know a guy that lost his job because of his digital footprint. He accidentally showed his colleague something on his phone which she reported and he eventually lost his job. I personally work in a school environment and if i had to employ teachers i would want to see their digital footprint. According to (Internet Society, 2019) a digital footprint paints a picture of who the person really is compared to a CV that you may have seen. Therefore digital footprints could become a problem for people but not everyone. If you have nothing to be concerned of when it comes to your digital footprint it means the way you are doing things online is correct and you are aware of the impacts the footprint may have in the future.

1. Everyone has the same rights to access whatever they feel like, the person will know weather they are allowed to access the information or not.
2. Don’t steal other peoples work or identity. If you use someone else work reference correctly. Do not open fake Facebook or Instagram accounts pretending to be someone who you are not.
3. Make sure you buy online goods from a credible store or a store that someone has bought from before without hassles.
4. Do not give any personal information to sites that ask for it you do not think it is relevant. Keep your information in a safe place so if you get hacked the hackers may struggle to find your personal info.
5. Try not to sit too long in front of a computer, if you do try and stand for a while and keep a straight posture when sitting down.

A digital citizen is when someone uses technology to keep in touch with friends, latest news and politics for example. We often use google and facebook.

Social Capital gets built by users using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. According to (Ladders, 2019) Social Capital relates to the ways people interact and cooperate. By being an active digital citizen one can help enhance and build social capital.

Digital Citizen also have rights and responsibilities because it is the way we make something look to other citizens. If we make Facebook look good other citizens may want to try it out more because of the good reviews and therefore we are enhancing it and by the citizen also using Facebook after the good review we are also building social capital.

1. Digital Access- key and critical to bringing social and economic benefits, it should be the front of all businesses and government decision-making in terms of creating opportunities.

4. Digital Literacy- it is to find information through writing on a digital platform.
5. Digital Etiquette- it is a base of rules that you need to follow when you are online, it is like the use of good manners when sending an email for example.
6. Digital Law- there can be laws in place as to certain thing you may do online and some you may not, like inappropriate technology use.
7. Digital Rights and Responsibilities- it is to use any technology that you want to but to ensure you use the technology in a appropriate manner.

Message- The message is how Virat Kholi gets one of his best hundred by showing his shots.

Verbalise- I can verbalise what happened in the video by seeing how he plays some of the shots.

Verify- Fact, as there are numerous links relating to the topic as other publishers post pop up as soon as you type in “Virat Kholi” and his hundreds pop up as suggestions.

Listening

Medium- Video, the medium (video) is the best medium as there is commentary as soon as the shot is played and you can visually see the shot happen simultaneously.

Form- It is an overview of the field and when the bowler runs in they zoom in and they then follow the ball with the camera.

Flow- The video has flow. In the beginning of the batsmans innings it shows a few dot balls and as his inning progresses the show his run scoring shots as well as the boundaries.

Alignment- The purpose of the message is to show the ability of the batsman and how he goes about scoring a hundred.

Digital Divide in Randpark Ridge Johannesburg

In this Ice Task I will be doing research on what digital divide actually means and how it affects some of the areas within Randpark Ridge. I will be comparing two neighbourhoods to another and I will be comparing two different schools to another and see how the digital divide compares them to another, the schools will be a government school and a private school. These schools also lie within a five kilometre radius of another.

According to Techopedia (2017) digital divide refers to the people who have easy access to the internet and those who don’t. A lack of access is believed to be a disadvantage to those on the disadvantage side of digital divide because of the huge knowledge base that can only be found online.

In Randpark Ridge there is a huge digital divide, with some of Northcliff’s houses bordering and entering Randpark Ridge through Fairland, you see massive houses with almost everything that is digitally automated, from garage doors to lights in the house. Some of these houses have Wifi and majority of them have televisions or an Ipad or a similar device. With Wifi and a compatible device a whole other level of information can be accessed and saved, this information has the ability to create new jobs and improve the standard of living. On the same road as these houses that I referred to is a location called Zandspruit. Unfortunately these people are on the disadvantage side of the digital divide, with most of them not having access to electricity, with a problem as such it affects them because they are not able to charge their phones or laptops if they so wish to have one. They now have less of a chance to find out about an available job because they don’t have access to electricity and Wifi. If they were able to access these online jobs and get the job, they could end up in a more digital friendly area and this could positively affect their family members.

Randpark High school is a government school that does not make use of digital equipment in the classroom except when the students attend Computer Application Technology (Randpark High School,2019). Curro Aurora make use of a tablet to download textbooks for the year andv students also do their classwork on the chosen tablet (Curro Aurora,2019). This just shows us the difference between a public school and a private school and how the digital divide works in each sector.
