Digital Shadows
This week we’re taking a break from all the interviews to give you a glimpse of the world of Digital Dossiers. Your dossier is made up of all the digital tracks you leave behind – from your photos on Flickr, to the Facebook messages you send, to all the data your credit card company collects about your transactions. On a daily basis, digital natives are consistently leaving information about themselves in secure or non-secure databases. You probably do this without a second thought in you day-to-day life – but have you ever considered the amount of information being collected about you, or the extent to which this information spreads?
In this video, created by Kanupriya Tewari, we explore this issue from the perspective of a child born today – Andy – and the timeline of all the digital files he accumulates in a life span.

Come back every Wednesday for more multimedia on online privacy, cyber bullying, digital activism and more!

Awesome video – want to share? Would love the opportunity to feature it in some of my talks (with FULL credit links of course)
Well done though – leaves more questions than answers as the best videos should always…
