Jcom 2160- Reading 1

I really thought these were great readings to start with. I think it is very important, since the world is becoming more technological, to know how to act online. Just because you can communicate with people more quickly, you should not be treating them rudely. I liked the point that you should never e-mail or IM something to someone that you wouldn’t say to them.

E-mail and chat rooms are convenient but we should not be using them like we don’t have any sense of what is courteous. You would never flat out tell a stranger that you disagree with them and they are stupid, but with the internet, things like that are happening more and more often. People don’t have to be who they really are online.
