Why is it important to be a good digital citizen and what value does a good digital reputation have?

Being a digital citizen is as important as being a good citizen.  Being polite is the same where ever you are.  If you are typing a message or speaking to another person, your words matter. 

I never realized until recently that employers look online for questionable traits in their applicants.  Young people need to realize that what goes online stays online and it is there forever.  They cannot escape it.  Posted pictures or comments can be seen by anyone, many times by accident.  The digital world has the potential of making life so much easier and at the same time it has the potential to destroy a life when we are not careful.
