BAD ETIQUETTE
First impressions last and the importance of doing the right thing and speaking the way, counts for a lot, especially in the world that we live in today. This is important because this is what people will remember or see in their heads when they think of you or meet you.
The IIE (2021) argues that digital etiquette is the behaviour in which Individuals needs to have when they are on the internet as they are sharing the internet with other people, so the safety for all users is important. With this being said not everyone who uses the internet adheres to this, as there are so many people who don’t know how to behave when they are on the internet. There are a lot of good examples of bad digital etiquette but here’s a list of 10 of the most common examples of digital etiquette; the IIE (2021) argues that the common examples are; don’t type in caps because it will seem like you are aggressive, don’t spam because it uses up space and slows down the internet, don’t use offensive language because it will come across as rude, don’t steal other people identity because it is a crime, don’t distribute illegal material because it is a crime, don’t flood because it slows down the internet, don’t expect a response right away because that shows you are impatient and that you are not considerate about what other are doing. The IIE (2021) argues that you should not broadcast, people might think you are not real, don’t reply all to protect yourself, don’t ask a question that can be found on the internet rather ask questions that can create conversation rather than questions that already have answers and will end conversations.
In conclusion the importance of caring yourself in the right manner when using the internet is essential because there are many other people using the internet with you.
