Víctor: Hi Marçal. How are you today?
Marçal: I'm really well, thank you. I’ve just seen Stars Wars, it was fantastic. What do you think about it?
Víctor: In my opinion, I prefer Star Trek, but I agree that Star Wars is also a good film.
Marçal: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. I think Star Wars is better than Star Trek.

Marçal: And the special effects are so good.
Víctor: You’re absolutely right.
Marçal: I really want to see Johnny English. Would you like to see it with me?

Víctor: See you soon Marçal.

I think this it’s negative, because you don’t have complete privacy and other people you don’t know can watch what you search. Everyone have a digital footprint, all what you search are in the “historial”. Here are 3 tips for taking care of your digital footprint: 1.     Do use a picture instead of a photo of yourself. 2.     Do use punctuation marks in your password. 3.     Do log off when you leave a website.
