Work Experience and Things

This week we had our first day of work experience. I worked in Newbridge Physiotherapy in Newbridge. I had later hours than most of the people in my year, starting at 1pm and finishing at 9:15pm. I mainly spent my day observing the methods of treating people using physiotherapy. My supervisor saw 8 patients while I was there and even though that seems like a lot, she said it was a small amount for her. I also helped with cleaning the equipment and the Pilates and treatment rooms. At 8:15 I sat in on a Pilates class being taught by my supervisor. I found the whole day very interesting and it has made me very positive about physio as a future career.

 

YOUR DIGITAL DOSSIER

A digital dossier is like a digital footprint. It is a track of all the things in your life that have included digital technology. 

Your digital dossier starts before you are even born, with a sonograms and facebook posts about you while you are still in the womb. After you are born and as a child your family may post pictures or statuses about you on facebook and other social networking sites. They might also text their friends about matters concerning you. 

When you are old enough you will start accounts on social networking sites and post pictures and statuses concerning your own life. When you get married, your wife/husband's digital dossier will be added to your own, making it larger. 

Overall you build up a virtual storeroom full of digital files on your life and death and whatever was in between. Many people do not realise how big their digital dossier/footprint is. 

Watching this video made me understand the situation a lot better.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IYZVYIVLA&feature=youtu.be

I never even knew you could have a digital footprint before watching this video and I found it very informative.
