26 February 2014, 1:09PM

The majority of us actively participate in a plethora of social networking sites, have online music stores and photo albums, and share and update these on a daily - even hourly - basis. In recent years, our digital footprint has grown dramatically, enabling us to communicate and share key milestones and life achievements and purchase and store music, as well as processing secure transactions such as paying bills.
