In wonder and concern about my carbon footprint, I recently realized that this is apparently not enough. I must also consider my digital footprint and digital identity. So now I'm really in trouble: I have become curious about algorithms, the kind that have been such good tools for FaceBook's Mark Zuckerberg! What exactly is an algorithm?
I doubt that I'll ever get a handle on much of anything that might educate me about algorithms because anything more than the most basic math is beyond me. (And here I am just assuming that we're dealing with some kind of esoteric mathematical formulations.) But I think I have a loose grip on the carbon footprint / digital footprint concepts. Maybe.
We really have both, right, carbon and digital? That seems obvious. So here's what else I know: I am going to find out more, one way or another, and see what I can make of it all. Then I suppose it'll be time for a plan. Stay tuned!
