Question 4
DIGITAL ETIQUETTE
Digital etiquette is known as a basic set
of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others, and
better for you. These are rules that will enhance good behaviour when using the
internet and not harming or disturbing someone who is also using the internet
at the same time. It is just as important to treat people with courtesy and
respect online as it is in real life. Someone’s reputation can be tarnished
through online practices and going to an extend of losing self-esteem.
I would like to blame the information
Technology specialists because sometimes or the majority of them, don’t
practice digital etiquette, instead, they take advantage of people who lack
information about the things of the
internet and they are aware of being
responsible online citizen. According to Mike Ribble {2013}, this is one of the
more pr0blematic issues in digital citizenship. People recognise inappropriate
behaviour but don’t know how to appropriately combat it.
A number of parents and teachers are
concerned that the rise in popularity of text messaging among kids might be
hurting their writing language skills. It becomes a problem when it comes to
academic writing because students their online texting style in their academic
work. Many teachers consider texting language to be conversational slang for
the tech-savvy generation. Problems that we consider in digital etiquette is
hacking, invading people’s privacy and cyberbullying of which is a big issue.
The internet can be a powerful tool when it comes to circulating opinion or
information access, the impact can increase dramatic.
As an individual, to avoid the situation ,
you should always mind whatever you talk about online because not everything
you speak is always good. Sometimes you might offend someone not knowing that
you are offending someone. You will find that someone has killed him/herself
because of whatever said on the internet, it might be on Facebook, Twitter
,Instagram, or Whatsapp.One example that has affected many people that would
cause a big problem would be sending an email before re-reading it. Email can’t
get back after you send them to their recipient. Make sure you double check ,
re-read a couple of times if you have to do. Don’t send things out of anger, or
rage, but make sure it is to the correct person you are sending it to and there
isn’t any problem , then you can send.
CONCLUSION
According to my own opinion, people know
everything about Digital Etiquette, is just that people have got a problem of
knowing too much and having a criminal mind and take advantage of illiterate
individuals.

QUESTION 7
Digital security
It is the protection of your digital
identity the network or internet equivalent of your physical identity and it
includes the tools you use to secure your identity, assets and technology in
the online and mobile world.
My fellow student I will like to warn about
digital security because it is important for you to b safe on the internet as
we know that in this current time, we spent much of our time on the internet.
Don’t enter into a website you don’t know or that does not have an ”S” that stands for security. Entering such
websites will increase the risk of you getting viruses or your information
being hacked at the same time. Some of the campaign that on the internet are
there just to invade your private information so that they use it as false
information that will help them steal money from various institutions or
organisation. Much of the kidnaping in the World is as a result of having
digital security because Students display their personal information on social
media on to find that some people use the information for criminal activities.
