My Digital Footprint

I recently did the Google Yourself Challenge as part of an assignment in my Secondary Education course at university, and I was surprised to find that there were hardly any results relating to me.

There were approximately 80,000,000 that showed up when I simply searched my name "Melissa Short." I'm sure I am one of those 80,000,000 results, but there's so many results that I will be impossible to find on Google. I then tried searching for my various account names, such as 'lorraineartxx_' which is my Instagram account, and found there only were 4 results that were all mine.



I've created a 'Digital footprint' to illustrate my presence of Google and my search results.
