Cyber trail
Introduction. A Cyber trail is a lead or a piece of evidence that shows the various visits on the cyber or a web page. It clearly defines what site was visited at a particular time over an internet connection.
Immediately after waking up, I would not resist the urge to unlock my phone. Perusing through social media accounts for salutations and posts kicks the day off. Replying to the unread messages and posts covers the offline sleeping period. This is followed by a constant check on the updates and consequential posts from friends and relatives. Breakfast will not be complete without a click on What Sapp or Facebook accounts.
Morning updates from the various news apps keep me updated. For instance, visiting Google news marks an apparent dawn time. Keeping up with friends all over the media on a variety of topics and grapevine messages dominates the day. Following the weather updates for travel and related activities for the day over the web is crucial. The numerous visits on the web page are left to mark the leads.
Running over the widgets and cache data will help to retrieve the daily trail when needed. The history from the preferred search engine search such as Google, Opera mini is useful. The information saved depends on the program’s settings. The stipulated period the information should last is set e.g., 1hour, a week, or even a more extended period.
Conclusion. With the current digital sophisticated era and global connectivity it creates less space to travel for information and daily interaction. People engage most of their time on the internet for material.
