Am I a Responsible Digital Citizen?

  • Summary

  • We spend a lot of time on our smart devices. On average, there are 6,000 tweets on Twitter every single second. When added up, everything equals 350K per minute, 500M per day, and 200B per year. That's a whole lot of engagement going on and it's not even counting Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and SnapChat. When we include those channels the overall numbers are astounding. According to the latest data, the average amount of time spent on social media worldwide is set to hit about two and a half hours a day. That’s a lot of time to comment on, or like and share all types of content. It's in these moments we can make mistakes that could cost us pretty big—maybe lose some friends, offend colleagues, and possibly get fired from a job and miss out on future career opportunities. This episode is all about taking responsibility for our online behavior. Stephanie Humphrey is a former engineer and technology expert. She is author of Don't Let Your Digital Footprint Kick You In the Butt! and is currently a technology contributor for Good Morning America . Stephanie is on a mission to help us become better digital citizens by being more mindful about what we post, comment on, and apps we download. Overall, she says it's important to be more considerate regarding all of our online activities. With Humphrey's innovative program, 'Til Death Do You Tweet!, she travels the country speaking to students and guides them through issues of cyber bullying while helping them understand how social media can shape their lives. As technology continues to advance and 500M of us turn to social media each and every day, we can and should consider ourselves a Digital Citizen.
