JCOM 2160--Week 1 Readings

Rules, Rules, Rules..

Who would have thought that there were so many rules to follow every time you send an email or chat on Facebook or post something to a blog? I sure didn't. As I was reading this weeks reading I was surprised at all the rules there are in the cyberspace world. I think I have heard most of the rules but I don't think about them every time I am online.

It is important to realize we are communicating with an actual person who is like us instead of some fictional person with a myspace page. The lessons we learn from the time we are kids still apply to the way we interact with people over the Web.

I also thought it is important to make what we say worthwhile. We are tying up a persons time when we email or chat with them so what we say should be important and not just babbling.

I am thankful that there is a rule to be considerate to those who are cyberspace newbies--because I am definitely one of them!
