Can you think of another example? Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidthĮlectronic communication takes time: time to read and time in which to respond. What you text to a friend may not be appropriate in an email to a classmate or colleague.
"Netiquette varies from domain to domain." (Shea, 1994) Depending on where you are in the virtual world, the same written communication can be acceptable in one area, where it might be considered inappropriate in another. Neither should you behave this way in the virtual world.
You should do your best to act within the laws and ethical manners of society whenever you inhabit "cyberspace." Would you behave rudely to someone face-to-face? On most occasions, no. While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be different in the virtual world, they certainly should not be lower. Before you press "send" or "submit," ask yourself, "Would I be okay with this if someone else had written it?" Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life Remember, your written words are read by real people, all deserving of respectful communication. When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion post, text, or some other method, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Consider the following "rules," adapted from Virginia Shea's The Core Rules of Netiquette, whenever you communicate in the virtual world. Netiquette, or network etiquette, is concerned with the "proper" way to communicate in an online environment.
