Hello guys! I'm interesting in this book how we
how to use social media is good and right. From 10 points, I choose 3 point that number 1, 2 and 5
What is Netiquette? Simply stated, it's network etiquette
that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And "etiquette" means "the
forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in
social or official life." In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for
behaving properly online. Netiquette has a dual purpose: to help net newbies
minimize their mistakes, and to help experienced cyberspace travelers help the
newbies. The list of core rules below, and the explanations that follow, are
excerpted from the book.
1. Remember The Human
The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was
pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how
you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but
try not to hurt people's feelings. When you communicate electronically, all you
see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial
expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate. When you're holding a
conversation online whether it's an email exchange or a response to a
discussion group posting it's easy to misinterpret your correspondent's
meaning. And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a
person with feelings more or less like your own. It's ironic, really. Computer
networks bring people together who'd otherwise never meet. But the
impersonality of the medium changes that meeting to something less well. Humans
exchanging email often behave the way some people behind the wheel of a car do:
They curse at other drivers, make obscene gestures, and generally behave like
savages.
Writer and Macintosh evangelist Guy Kawasaki tells a story about getting
email from some fellow he's never met. Online, this fellow tells Guy that he's
a bad writer with nothing interesting to say. Yes, but unfortunately, it
happens all the time in cyberspace. Maybe it's the awesome power of being able
to send mail directly to a well-known writer like Guy. Maybe it's the fact that
you can't see his face crumple in misery as he reads your cruel words. Whatever
the reason, it's incredibly common.
Another reason not to be offensive online. When you communicate
through cyberspace via email or on discussion groups
your words are written. And chances are
they're stored somewhere where you have no control over them. In other words,
there's a good chance they can come back to haunt you.
2. Adhere to the same standarts of behavior online that you follow in real life
In real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, either by disposition or
because we're afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting
caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that
there's a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that
a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace. Standards
of behavior may be different in some areas of cyberspace, but they are not
lower than in real life. Don't believe anyone who says, "The only ethics
out there are what you can get away with." This is a book about manners,
not about ethics. But if you encounter an ethical dilemma in cyberspace,
consult the code you follow in real life. Chances are good you'll find the
answer. If you're tempted to do something that's illegal in cyberspace, chances
are it's also bad Netiquette. Some laws are obscure or complicated enough that
it's hard to know how to follow them. And in some cases, we're still
establishing how the law applies to cyberspace. Two examples are the laws on
privacy (see Rule 8 and "Email Privacy a Grand Illusion" on page
125) and copyright (see "Copyright in Cyberspace" on page 133). This
is a book on manners, not a legal manual. But Netiquette mandates that you do
your best to act within the laws of society and cyberspace.
3. Make yourself look good online
Internet is communication media favored by many people. Internet one way to communicate online and how to communicate easily with people that you have never met before. Most people choose to communicate online because it is an advantage and can shorten time. If you spend your time in front a computer screen(only to internet) it may seize the activities you should do every day. But benefits of using the internet you also can be learn more and that's very fun. Use to internet every one must pay attention to the words or the content in question (which will be posted). For example : you update on one of your social media accounts. Because if everyone did not pay attention to it can cause adverse effects.
So, my opinion about Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. You
might offend people without meaning to or you might misunderstand what others
say and take offense when it's not intended. To make matters worse, something
about cyberspace makes it easy to forget that you're interacting with other
real people. So, I hope to
everyone to be more careful in the use of social media
(chat, video call
or comment, etc) with people who have never met at all. May
play in social media,
but everyone should be able to respect or set the
time, said politely, do not
harass other people's lives, not abusing all existing social media.
