Journal Entry #4 (Netiquette)





  • The parts I found most surprising was how we do not know how unprotected the sites we use really are.
  • I found it surprising that the terms and conditions are expected to be taken so seriously, but not many people actually take them serious.
  • I would rate my self 5, because I don't read the terms of service. 
  • Be aware of the terms and agreements.
  •  I think the biggest issue is that we do not realize what can happen on-line and how easy it is for something to happen online

  • Online Discussion Boards (Assignment #3)

    1. Many of the guidelines are similar to how we want people to treat us in person, because people deserve to be treated face to face the same as they get treated on-line.
    2. I don't think many internet users bother reading the Terms of Service/Use agreements. It is just so many long paragraphs filled with minuscule writing, which looks menacing and time consuming. So just hit "I Agree", or "Accept" instead.
    3. No I never made comments on-line like you tube and stuff 
    4. No, I don't really think I would enjoy a course where I'd get to discuss issues online with other students because it is easier to explain stuff in person. 

    Do As I Say (Assignment #2)


    1. I think you should treat people the way you want to be treated, and that goes for on-line too.
    2.  I do not want to go to jail.
    3. I'd like to fix problems rather then cause them.
    4. Harassing someone online is not helping anything, so it is pointless and cruel to do so.
    5. I know a lot of energy, time and money are spent on movies so you should pay for them.

    Journal Entry #3 (Digital Rights and Responsibilities)

    1. I found most surprising was the responsibilities  you had I didn't know we had those rights of the internet. 
    2. When it comes to the internet, people are stupid and don't know how to act. They use the internet to the . People do not act responsible when it comes to being on line. 
    3.  I think the most important one I created I think is the 'Thou shall not bully online.
          4. The biggest issue in digital rights is  with young people these days would probably be downloading stuff they should not be downloading

    Journal Entry #2 (Digital Communication)

    What I found surprising that the maximum period of time you can wait to reply to someone is one week, and by that time by the time you answer its  considered rude. I learned that you are supposed to reply within 24 hours, most people do. I also learned that you should not type in all caps because it makes the person you are talking to think you are mad at them. Blind Carbon Copy is an email field to which you can add several recipients, and the address is hidden from everyone else.  This can be used when people  forward emails without removing the addresses of previous recipients, which leads to messages that are repeatedly sent to many recipients. Out of this information I think the most important thing young people are to consider is to just think before you send and reply. Is it good enough. Will they know who you are. How long ago did I receive the message its  all important because once you send a message, it cannot be unsent so it has to be exactly what you want before you send it.

    Assignment #2 (Acronyms Attack)

    GDB- good day boys

    Assignment #1 (Communication Compass)




    1. definition of digital communication is Social media, texting, and portable connected devices. 
    2.  4 digital communication advantages are: 
    1. It is fast and easier. 
    2. No paper is wasted. 
    3. The messages can be stored in the device for longer times, without being damaged, unlike paper files that easily get damages or attacked by insects. 
    4. Digital communication can be done over large distances through internet and other things.


     4 disadvantages in my opinion are:
    1. It is unreliable as the messages cannot be recognised by signatures. Though software can be developed for this, yet the software can be easily hacked. 
    2. Sometimes, the quickness of digital communication is harmful as messages can be sent with the click of a mouse. The person  not think and sends the message at an impulse. 
    3. Digital Communication has completely ignored the human touch. A personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font! 

    4. The establishment of Digital Communication causes degradation of the environment in some cases. "Electronic waste" is an example. The vibes given out by the telephone and cell phone towers are so strong that they can kill small birds. In fact the common sparrow has vanished due to so many towers coming up as the vibrations hit them on the head. 
    (Got answers form yahoo answers.)

        3. he three most popular forms of digital communication today are Facebook, Texting and Snap chat. I think they are popular because a lot of people yours them.

    4. 3 forms of  digital communication that may not be around much longer are are snap chat because its easy for people to hack. ask fm because people say bad words on it a lot. and  maybe Facebook because people hack it also.  

    5. Five locations or scenarios  in real life where you really should not be communicating digitally are;


    1. In the car- Because its dangerous
    2. at school- Because you wont be listing to the teachers you will be on your phone
    3. At work- Because you wont get no work done
    4. When your at a funeral- Because it is disrespectful
    5. On a air plain- Because u could cause the air plain to crash

    6. All forms of digital communication are dangerous to our health and well-being. Whenever we message or e-mail someone, your tone of voice and your emotions don't go through, which may convey a different message than intended when sent. People can use the internet for cyber-bullying and spreading false information or rumours

    7. Given the fact that four and five year old have tablets and smartphones now I don't think that kids will find a healthy balance between on line and offline activities. They are already spending a large amount of time on line, and the amount of time may increase as they age.

     8. When a person dies, I believe that if they have Facebook there account should be kept on so you can remember them more and say good things about them.
