What does digital footprint mean?

I am glad you asked.  Digital footprints are bits of data that we all leave behind wherever we go.  The purpose of digital footprints is to preserve historical information and serve as a public record for that information.  So the footprints I leave behind are a record of the time I spent with you.

That’s right, a trace is what we call a particular record, while a digital footprint is the collection of data that is available for people to see when looking at those traces.

So people can see what was done then?
