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.
