Who are you in the vast world of the internet? When I began reflecting on my usage of social media platforms for this video assignment, I couldn’t help but ask myself: What story do my footprints tell about me?
Scrolling through my timelines, I realized how much influence I’ve unknowingly given to others. Have you ever paused to think about how we are the ones building platforms for influencers? Each follows, and engagement, fuels their rise, making them icons in digital spaces we’ve helped construct. But what does that say about our values and the kind of content we prioritize?
Beyond the entertainment and inspiration, there’s the subtle weight of responsibility. Every post I engage with adds to a narrative—sometimes one I might not entirely agree with. Do my actions align with the values I want to support? What legacy am I leaving in a digital space that feels eternal yet fleeting?
This reflection was an eye-opener. It reminded me that my social media habits don’t just shape my personal experience—they contribute to a larger cultural conversation. If my digital footprint could speak, would I be proud of its message?
