1.) the two things that can impact Janice's future by posting these types of pictures on social media are; a college admissions officer can see it when she applies for college. Also, a potential employer could look up her social media accounts for a summer job she applies for. Most colleges and employers would frown on an underage drinking, obscene gestures, and other types of improper behaviour of an underage person. They want the person who attends their college or is employed with them to have high morals and to be responsible. 

2.) The main thing that contributes to your active digital footprint is the personal information that you add intentionally to a secure website. Anything that you intentionally post online leaves a digital footprint. These are also known as a digital dossier. Uploads to Facebook and other social media also contributes to your active digital footprint. Even though you put the information on a secure website, they may share your information with other companies or even sell your email address to others. This happens a lot. 

3.)The main thing that contributes to your passive digital footprint is the cookies that track your online habits. They can track each website you visit and share the information with other sites/companies. For example, you can Google new Mustang and go to another site and an ad may pop up for a new Mustang. You have did not leave this intentionally, but it will add to your digital footprint. 

4.) Your digital footprint may be important to you when applying for college because most of the admissions offices want to go beyond the application you submitted. The officers want to find out things about you that aren't listed on the application, the real you. This is where all the social media posts, pictures you may have uploaded in your early youth will come back to impact your future. Even being tagged in a photo will leave a digital footprint on your online dossier.
