2.&3. Internet "Easter Egg"

2. An internet "Easter Egg" is a hidden response that comes up in answer to a number of rules.
The results can vary from a simple kind of a picture to a bigger page containing things such as Video games in a piece of device. Video game cheat codes are types of easter eggs that will give you an opportunity to open up special powers or allow a player to move to new diemensions when the secret command has been entered. A hidden element displayed on a certain program or on a website. It is simply magical, it is a special feature that isn't made obvious, but when its button is clicked on it offers  something special. This could be in a form of an extra game level, secret player,animation, or a surprise of some sort. Programmers often hide Easter Eggs in their programs  to make it more fun and very much interesting and making it difficult for players to find it.

Hi my name is Xolile Mavuso.
I am 19years old. Doing my first year in Psychology at Varsity College Pretoria Campus and my experience so far has been great! I am a very quiet person but can be loud at times. I am goal driven, I like setting goals for myself that I'd love to achieve in the future, and my personal motto in life is " never give up". What i like to do for fun is just being adventurous, going to shopping malls and doing activities like hiking, also going to theme parks like Goldreef City. The most important person in my life is God, He keeps me grounded every time and He's my only hope in the world.

To find out about myself online i take online courses at "watla walla community online courses reviewed by Jenweiss on November each year", where i'm asked questions in a questionnare form about different aspects of my life, it maybe  a career choice, family relationships or social life where after i've answered the questions, a search is conducted and afterwards they return the results so you can see where your life is headed to. I am also able to teach myself and work at my own pace.

Everything i post online together forms my digital foot print, so every interactions i make with family, friends and or strangers in the social media where by it can be on twitter, facebook, whatsapp or blogging with whatever i write and express myself with on these platforms which maybe lies or truth and posting this information makes my digital foot print. It is basically your online reputation. At one time or another i have been guilty for posting a photo that has made me very shameful and regretful for even posting it at the first place.
