How worried should we be about our privacy and data in the twenty-first century as technology evolves? How concerned should we be about our digital footprint when we use the Internet? During this session, we want to raise awareness about our data trail and how each click on our devices leaves an imprint that another person may view. We are leaving traces of our online behavior for others to follow. These are just a few of the many questions we will take away from this session.
