Thing 4 Digital Security
This was an interesting one. I had not thought of Apps being able to access my other information. It made sense, of course, but I was glad to find where I could read through some of the Apps on my phone and find out what permissions they were allowed. …
Thing 3: Digital Footprinting
Sooo, Thing 3 was all about digital footprinting. Relating similarly to the concept of ‘Carbon footprinting’, this is the act of leaving behind traces of your actions that can have more permanent and potentially harmful consequences. In the digital world, this constitutes online data in the form of: ‘what you have written, what others have […]
Thing 3 Digital Footprint
I googled my name and found a link to my Facebook profile at the top. Most of my Facebook is set to private so just a bit of headline information there. I found my Linkedin profile by typing in my name and ‘Linkedin’. I don’t keep this up to date much….

Thing 11 – Copyright
The two media files that I checked for this topic on copyright were a sound file of a piece of music that can be use as background music for films and computer games, and a landscape painting from Finland. Both have licence conditions applied to them in regards to their use. For the sound file, … Continue reading “Thing 11 – Copyright”

Siege of InfoSec – The Aftermath

Thing 8: Facebook
Facebook is HUGE back in where I’m from. No kidding. It’s literally everyone using Facebook. And I have been playing around its features since undergrad. From my experience, Facebook by far is the most convenient and useful tool for either personal use, professional development, or work. I created and joined groups for various coursework and…
Thing 1&2
Hello! This is the first blog of my 23 things. I am doing the 23 things programme in order to learn about digital content creation as part of my Edinburgh award. Hopefully by the end of this I will have a better idea about how websites work. I had no idea that there was a […]
