"Once it's on the Internet, it's there Forever"

"Once it's on the Internet, it's there Forever," sounds ominous, and for good reason. It simply means that once something is put up on the internet, it will be there forever. Something you post, tweet, or create on the internet can be accessed by future employers, future friends, and future business partners. Often, we don't think about who will read our posts on the internet in the future, we are thinking about who will read them now. This can end up disastrous if you post something in anger or frustration that you regret later. To prevent irrational posting, try thinking through what you will type before typing and posting. This will give you a chance to cool off and think about who you would want to see this post 5 or 10 years from now.
