What you put out on the internet will remain there for years to come, perhaps even outlive you with the storage and shareability of the internet. With the internet being such a new invention in the grand scheme of history, it was never thought that we could have a place to document something that has no conceivable lifespan. Books and other traditional forms of documentation do eventually deteriorate and become illegible; however, the introduction of the internet has led many to believe that we could live on forever in cyberspace.

With this, however, comes the footprints that you leave behind potentially following you for a long time to come. It’s important to remember the repercussions of what you post but is it viable to consider how content can affect your future each time?

It will be interesting to see the developments in internet law in the future as it develops and grows regarding these issues, but for now I’m going to go make some bread.
